    Is it better the clean the wondows inside and out once the car has been wash and dry?

    I think the best thing for cleaning windows is a product called “No More Chemicals” it is a cloth that requires no chemicals to get streak free windows and body panels. If you take one of those plant spray bottles and use that it will work wonders!

    Whenever I detail I leave the windows until last. That way if you have got any wax or polish accidentally on the glass during that stage it can be removed when you come to do the windows at the end.

    is applying turtle wax car wax or Autoglym Glass Polish on the out side of the window a good way to polish the glass and remove water spots?

  • RacerE7773

    Yes.

    @leonidarizzo I bought a bottle from W’mart clearance and it sucks. Turtle wax makes a decent auto glass cleaner, as does Invisible Glass, Advance Auto, and for windows with no tint, Sprayway is a good cleaner. This is on my favorites, since i detail family vehicles.

    The onlything you have to do to get aperfect results.. VAX them thats all you have to do………

    Invisible glass or Rain X work just fine. Make sure you dry the windows first if you wash your car outside to avoid hard water spots. Horizontal lines on the exterior and vertical lines on the interior side seem to work best.
