eagle 20/20 vs autoglym glass polish or z12

MikesJo · 03-27-03, 08:24

Hey guys i'm a newbie on the bored! Got some questions about glass cleaners. Right now i'm using eagle 20/20 and am wondering what the difference is between that and say autoglym glass polish or the zaino z12. Can you use the z12 and autoglym on the inside windows also? And since these are mentioned as polishes, is there something you put on top after your done or just use the polish and thats it like the 20/20.
Thanks!

i use eo 20/20, works fine for me. The only thing ill probably use on my windows next is klasse aio.

Z12 and the AG glass polish are for taking out minor scratches and waterspots - just like a paint polish. EO 20/20 is just a glass cleaner for normal cleaning. Totally different animals.

Ah 4DSC answers (seen you all over the board and your from vancouver!

). So does that mean the Z12 and AG bring out the shine in the glass? What makes the glass so nice and reflective? (can't be the eo 20/20 cause yea i've been using that, good to know they're for different things though!) Oh and btw, are there any local places that carry Autoglym besides Weissach? What do you suggest for wax since the one i have now (car beauty pro or something) is running out. I was thinking either zaino or s100 (where do you find s100 in vancouver though).

Thanks again ( i know i ask a lot of questions..

Oh hi, I didn't notice your location - welcome.

Is your windshield all scratched up or covered in spots or something? I haven't done a lot of glass polishing, but I suppose if it's never been done before on a car with older windows it couldn't hurt. I wouldn't try applying this stuff in attempt to "wax" the glass though, since that's not what it's for.

Mopac, Overseas Auto, and some dealerships (European cars, maybe some Chrysler dealers) carry Autoglym.

Either Zaino or S100 are good choices. You just have to decide what kind of waxing process you want to go with and pick one. If you have any questions or things you'd like to know about, don't forget to try the Search function first - it's the best way to learn things and often you get more info than any one or few people can give.

Also, you may want to try out the Autopia eBook.

For example, search turned up this very easily:
S100 in Vancouver...
This one isn't as easily found though:
Possible Zaino source for Vancouverites...

I'm using Autoglym Glass Polish for removing waterspot. It's effective but got to use a lot of elbow grease. Just wondering how is Z12 compared to Autoglym in terms of strength? If it's only maginally stronger then i'll stick with Autoglym.

MikesJo · 03-27-03, 11:33

Thanks 2wheelsx2, they carry both these? ag and zaino? myauto why do you have to use elbow grease...

The watermarks stain is very stubborn, almost like etched.

The AG is able to remove it but after much energy and time. I have only done half a windscreen. Still got a lot more areas to cover. That's why asking if Z12 will be much stonger to make the job easier. If it only brings slight difference, i going to continue using the AG.

MikesJo · 03-28-03, 12:44

Did you answer the question though, why do you use elbow grease?!
