Which SSR`s For Cleaning Glass?

[RedondoV6]

Quick question: Which of the PB`s SSR`s is best suited to the heavy duty cleaning of exterior glass? Planning to use a 4" pad (orange or white) and PC.

Thanks,

[Poorboy]

I would use SSR2 and the polishing pad(white?) , preferably I`d use Professional Polish unless there was something really nasty on the glass.

Thanks Steve, I`ll try both on glass this weekend.

If you use the PP, then after applying, let it completely dry before buffing for best results, and if you have any EX-P , put that on afterwards (thanks to GRStilz Sean, for that tip )

What does a window with EX-P behave like? Is it like putting on Rain-X ??

[Poorboy]

yes it helps to repell water, especially when your windshield wipers aren`t working also pretty cool when you wash..it just sheets right off

Just gave something else to do while applying a coat of Natty`s over the weekend.

Do you really recommend it for the front windsheild though too? Does that produce any negative effects when using the wipers in the rain like streaking or anything? Or do the wipers actually work better in the rain using EXP?

Only one way to find out Steve! LOL It has been raining a lot here lately.

I haven`t applied EX-P over glass, but I always apply Zaino Z2 over everything, paint , trim, chrome and glass and it seems to work fine, no smearing, streaking, even on teh windscreen. Works better than RainX (IMHO), I guess from what others have said the polymers in EX-P work just as well over glass?

Hey try it ..just keep a MF around in case your glass/wipers don`t play well with your sealant

This reminds me...

Steve, any plans to come out with a dedicated glass polish to add to the PB line?

I just recently tried to remove an aquapel treatment from glass with SSR2 and PP and neither could handle it. Hazing occurred. I hit it with Z-12 and that worked like a charm.

It`d be great if something simlar was added to the PB line since it`s pretty much becoming my one stop for just about everything else.

did you letthe PP dry to a haze? I`ve also used SSR2 and 2.5 on glass for stubborn problems:dunno

Yup. I left it for about 45 min. after which it was a dry haze. When you initially wipe of the PP, it looks pretty good. However, when I come back to it a little later, I see cloudiness and streaking.

I guess I should mention that Aquapel is about the only thing on glass that I`ve seen this behavior with. SSR2 on other problems on glass has worked just fine. I`m also unsure why Z-12 would remove the aquapel while other products will not. I assume it`s a combination of the different cleaners in Z-12 as well as the abrasives.

Wipers, what wipers.
I haven`t used my wipers in six years. With all ext glass cleaned with clay, ssr 2.5, autosmart glass glow polish and PB EX-P, there is no need.
My glass is slicker than the paint and nothing sticks to it and zero pitts, chips etc

Great products steve. Love the smell too. So creamy.

Steve/Poorboy, is there going to be any "cloudy" look to using EX-P on a windshield?

If so, I`d just as soon just use the SSR to clean away water spots. My windshield/car is new (5 months), so is using EX-P something you`d say is a non-factor even on a (relatively clean) new windshield?
