I used rhe last of my Meguiars FI to clean my windows today. I was shocked the stuff worked great but the best thing is if you you spray window cleaner on a rag first or if you just spray it on the window you dont have to worry about it harming the finish. I might just start using the FI to clean my windows and I dont use glass cleaner much just dry windows after wash mostly, so the price of it doesnt really matter.
 
I use a class cleaner then I use a single layer of Klasse Glaze on the windows. The dirt comes off the windows with the pass of a damp cloth. Last's quite a while too.
 
Works - but go veeeerrrrrry sparingly.



If you don't - you'll end up with smearing. If you do, you can get a decent Rain-X like effect on your windows. I used to do this, but I went the Aquapel/Vision Blade route.
 
I Love Final Inspection on glass. It works great on paint and leaves no streaks. It leaves no streaks on glass and seems to keep them cleaner longer than just plain glass cleaner. I have also used OGSO on them but it is tougher to get perfect and requires a little more buffing. My results with Klasse on glass have been good but not nearly as good as with zaino or blitz. On the side windows that is. On the front windshield I just use QD at washings. I haven't tried the new PPG product yet but am looking for a good source and the money to pick it up:sosad
 
Blitz on windows, thats new to me.



I never mess with the windsheild, that has nothing on it and I don't plan to add anything to it.



Have you guys ever tried "RainX Glass Polish"?
 
Never herd of RainX Glass "polish"



But rainX itself is just a wax that goes on your windsheild so that the water beeds. After you use your wipers, most of the RainX gets wiped away.

If its an actual glass polish, then it probably is designed to smooth out scratches, swirls, and weathering, etc.



If your windsheild really needs to be polished, try using some black and white newsprint and some glass cleaner. The ink in the newsprint acts a superfine polish, and leaves your windows very shiney.



I personally use klasse AIO, which seams to give the effect of both polishing, and rain-x beeding.
 
They also had a glass polish, I got it once; the first time I saw it and since then I have not seen it. It says it can clean glass and chrome and it works really well. When I first got my car and sprayed the windows they were still wet. After using the RainX the entire windsheild would bead itself dry in about 3 seconds. It's like once you spray the windsheild the water sheets almost completely off.
 
Rain X polish, its ok, I think it is used for removing Rain X, I tried it as a glass polish. It did the job, but I prefer the Jaguar Windscreen Paste - now that stuff cleans glass.

A little FI sprayed on YoSteve's MF is the best way to clean the inside of my windows- no streaks, smears or haze and I love the smell.:xyxthumbs
 
You know I've never tried using a quick detailer on the inside of the windows. Since my windows are tinted I can't use them on the door windows or rear windows, but I might try the Final Inspection on the inside of the front window. Thanks.
 
I prefer Plexus. It works great on tinted windows and best of all its absolutely safe. There's no question what so ever. Laters
 
I find Plexus to probaly be the best glass cleaner and protectant for windows that are already somewhat clean. The problem is using it... if it is even breezy the stuff freezes up on my and when I use it I get all kinds of hazing.



I like to use a water bottle, spray it on the window and buff it off with a towel......... cost efficent and it does the job really really well.
 
I find FI smears a bit on windows and takes extra buffing to clear up...



I will stick with wet MFs for windows for now and buff with them surgical green towels...using Stoners or eagle one for stubborn gook.
 
"I find FI smears a bit on windows and takes extra buffing to clear up..." Yes this is true but after using FI again on my windows I just cant rave about how you wont get any stuff that the paint may not like on ii. As often as I clean my windows it worth the extra work. Which is not very often my windows stay pretty clean just wipe them dry after giving them a pass with the wet synthetic chamois.
 
If you want to put a nice glaze on your glass try Brillianize. It works similar to Plexus but I like it a little bit better and it is less expensive. :xyxthumbs

I'll probably stick with Plexus for a while as I really like this product for tinted windows and the instrument panel. Buffs off real easily, leaves no streaks and leaves a good clean look to the surface.



Short Cut, so after using both products on TINT, you really prefer the Brillianize over Plexus?

I have both Plexus and Brillianize. While Plexus costs a bit more, I prefer it. I like the controlled round spray pattern it has- perfect for the tailights and instrument panel without overspray. Brillianize is good but my bottle is a pump spray and it tends to dribble on places I don't want it to go, not that it would harm the paint or vinyl, it's just a bit messier to apply than Plexus. The consistency of Brillianize is more watery that Plexus which is like a foam. Both work, it's just personal preference.:xyxthumbs
