What is a good glass cleaner ?

[schiker]

I bought some Invisible Glass, glass cleaner by Stoner from Walmart thinking it would be good but I have been disappointed.

I want something that will clean and is safe with some overspray on dash and rubber trim.

I use the glass cleaner from Chrysler. When I worked for them I started using it and liked it so much, I continued to use even after I left. It cleans with minimal wiping, leaves little to no residue, and won't hurt anything else you get it on. Comes in an aerosol spray can.

Check with your local glass and mirror shop. They usually sell bulk of what works for them. An alcohol based cleaner usually does the best

I've been very happy with invisible glass...My supply is old but dwindling...maybe there was a formula change we didn't hear about?

OK thanks, I'll check with the glass company and Chrysler.

Invisible Glass just seems too mild. It takes several applications to cut through much of anything and smears stuff and leaves a residue until the 3rd or 4th and sometimes 5th application.

I usually use a small drop of dishwashing soap on a wet paper towel to clean my sunglasses and most things. We have some 3M solar film applied to some French doors out to our back deck and installer said that is all he uses and recommends for the film. I did like some BMW glass cleaner but I don't really like the dealer and assumed it is too pricey. Once my sister had some stuff on her glasses she couldn't get off and I gave her a little bottle of stuff that came with my wife's BMW and she said it was great and cleaned her glasses when nothing else would.

Works brand glass cleaner is also an excellent product. If you can find it

Warm water and vinegar then use news paper or lint free cotton to dry....Keep in mind if you have aftermarket tint then follow manufacturers cleaning instructions.

We just use whatever windshield washer fluid we have on hand. Mostly because it doesn't freeze in our shop and break the pump on the applicator.

I love invisible glass. If there's "gunk" or spots I use it with a bit of steel wool (#0000) and clean up with Scott Shop Towels (either in the box or on the roll). They leave no residue, seems to get all my needs covered.

I bought one can of aerosol cleaner from Chrysler and it seems better than invisible glass but think it goes quick. I bought some shop glass towels too. I have used razor blades to scrape clean glass but not steel wool. Had some copper Brillo pad like roll once that was the bomb for tender scrubbing. Company I worked for used it to clean plastic extruder screws and dies.

I use Sprayway in the shop and at home. It cleans well with no residue and is safe for any type of trim. As stated above, we use oooo steel wool for bugs and heavy deposits,
