I must say, after being a strictly IG user, I tried Meguiars Glass Cleaner yesterday, and I am BLOWN AWAY. This is absolutely the best glass cleaner out there, and at less that $1.70/gal, its cheap!

This stuff smells great, and when paired with a WW MF, this can tackle even the nastiest window smudges. I urge all you stoner users to try this stuff.

Is it an aersol or liquid?

IIRC it`s only available in gallons. It is on my list to try. In the meantime I`m trying Zep glass cleaner and plan to get some Sprayway to compare. In my brief usage of the Zep it appears to leave behind less streaks than I recall that IG did but I also find the actual foaming action of the can to be a bit too powerful at times. Just too much foam emitted than necessary especially on small side windows.

My windows are 100% streak free, something I could never get out of IG.

John: It is a concentrated liquid that you can dilute 10:1.

I was going to purchase one of those 5 gallon buckets of IG, but thats $44+shipping, and I hate using anything aeresol because it damages the ozone layer. I got 11 gallons for $17.

I would agree Shaun! At a dilution ratio of 10 to 1, you get 10 gallons of EXCELLENT glass cleaner. That will last most enthusiasts a lifetime! :lol For a professional detailer, it`s a big money saver.

FYI.......... for an over the counter glass cleaner, the new NXT Glass Cleaner is also extremely good! :bigups I now prefer both of them to Stoners IG or Sprayway and will switch over when my supply of the IG & Sprayway run out.

Are you talking about the Glass Cleaner Concentrate from Meg`s Pro Line, D-12001 @ $18/gallon? I don`t know the recommended dilution ration.

Is everyone using the recommended 10:1 ratio, or something less or more than?

I currently use (foaming) Sprayway and Stoner`s IG. Eagle One 20/20 and Hope`s Perfect Glass (this one is new to me, but initial testing is very promising) for my dedicated glass cleaners. I also use PB`s S&W and Adam`s DS for exterior glass following a wash.

Saving $ and acheiving similar results is a good thing :)

I use the Hi temp from www.topoftheline.com it is diluted 10 to 1. It works very well. And of course it goes a LONG way! When my glass concentrate runs out in 20 years I will try the megs line. Is that the same line as the hyper dressing?

That`s the stuff! :bigups I use the 10:1 ratio and it seems to work great.

Like you, if I happen to have S & W in my hands at the time......... I use it with excellent results.

I know what I`m going to be on the look out for when I visit the local paint supply shop :D

I have this product and after using it once, I gave away my IG and some other glass cleaners that I had. 1 gallon of it makes 11 gallons and it seems to work just fine without messing around with the ratios. The price simply cant be beat.

That would be a nice way to try the stuff. 16 ounces of the concentrate would make over a gallon of window cleaner! :bigups

Is it safe to use on windows with tint film?
