Glass cleaning tips

The polypropylene wipes are available at Griots Garage. I have them too but I don`t have as much luck with them as Accumulator does

I find if my glass microfiber towels drag it`s because the glass still isn`t clean (i.e. the rear window where they write my number for drag racing is always dirty even though it looks clean because of residue from the paint they use, takes many more passes to get it smooth feeling again).

Heh heh, pretty much *all* of my MFs lint....eventually. Just a matter of "when".

Yeah...I seem to have more trouble with this than most people, the plush MF Drying Towels that Tom P. recommended (and has no problem with) lint so badly for me that I can`t use them to dry areas that show (doorjamb-duty only). Even my WWMFs end up linting something awful.

The no-nap/flat-weave glass towels are best in this regard. Worst are my Shamrocks but my Pinnacle MF Wash Mitts, which I bought for drying-aid use, are so bad I can`t use them for that.

Prolly been using those rags since the 70`s...maybe time to buy some new ones?!

MiVor- heh heh, well...I *do* have some cotton towels I`ve been using since the `80s!

Bill D- I only use the polypro wipes for the final passes, they aren`t very good for the actual "cleaning" part of the job.

Huck towels

A member here sent me some Huck Towels to try and they, uhm...didn`t work out for me at all.

They certainly were! Or...maybe "are". Eh, lots of stuff that others like turns out to be, uhm...not Accumulator-proof; heh heh, if somebody wants to claim "user error!" that`s OK....but
"Accumulator-proof" is a long way from "idiot-proof"

Ive been using an invisible glass reach and clean tool it has a flat pivoting angled head with a lint free bonnet so not only do you not have to kill your arm but the flat head make a smooth even pass over the glass. I used blue coral glass cleaner for years and it work well but lately ive been using sonax clear green glass cleaner with no phosphate,alcohol and solvent free.
