Claying your Windshield

[cspoly]

I read a post on another car site about using clay on glass. Has anyone ever tried this......what would you use as a lubricant for the clay?



These guys claim the glass comes out totally smooth and water sheets right off of it.



Thanks,

I tried this. I just used QD as a lubricant. It got off all the little sap bumps and such. However, the windshield still looks crappy. It`s because it`s scratched, though. The clay bar does work, and will do exactly what it does for paint.

I have used clay for glass before. It does work, and will really help smooth out wiper operation as well. Use either the QD lubricant supplied with the bar, or a capfull of car wash in about 12-16 oz`s of water. :up

Yes Clay works well on glass....



I have done it to remove overspray.

Use it on glass as you would on your paint. It worked really well for me. It came out as smooth as...well...glass.:p

You will not really be scared of swirls/scratches while using clay on the windscreen, but still need to beware. I have tried using Rain-X Cleaning Compound...it won`t achieve an ultra smooth finish as compared to using clay bars.

I agree with the others, clay works well with glass, make it part of your routine (every 3-6 months)

Yep, clay works great. I tried it yesterday on my glass and black painted plastic trim around the windows and followed up with a coat of Z2. They`re now smoother than ever.

I have a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) from Audi recommending that you clay your windshield at least yearly. Last year they even sent me a coupon for a free package of 3M Clay and Quick Detailer!:up
