Autoglym Car Glass Polish
I had heard good things about this product over the past couple of years and thought I would give it a try. The windshield on one of our cars is kind of nasty and needed some attention. There's some wiper build up that I have not been able to remove. I'm going to take a shot at that car later today. I was somewhat anxious to try the product so I went to work on another car that I thought the glass was fairly clean. It turns out that the pad was noticeably dirty after working on it for just a couple minutes. This car has more than 180k miles on it and I suspect its original windshield. Lots of wear marks are visible in the glass from the mono wiper. Windshield displays some sandblasting effect and a few minor stone chips, but is really in pretty good condition given its 14 yrs of duty.
I had no expectation that this Autoglym product was going to make those wear marks fade away as it's not advertised as such. I think it did improve the appearance of the wear marks slightly.
This glass polish is advertised as a wipe on, dry for 10 mins, wipe off product that is to be used on interior and exterior glass. I did the exterior only.
The product dries quickly, maybe too quickly when using the machine. There is a bit of very fine dust when removing, but removal is simple and there doesn't appear to be any issue with staining on rubber or plastic trim.
Wear marks clearly visible:
The finished glass looks absolutely outstanding, even on this old windshield. The gloss is great, the surface is absolutely smooth. Now I'm anxious to drive in the rain to see how the wiping action is.
Based upon how dirty my orange pad was, I'm going to need to make this task more of a routine cleaning duty, maybe once or twice a year. There was really a lot of stuff on the glass that was not visible to the eye.
