Window cleaner!!!

**MCWD** · 08-31-2008, 06:10 PM

I am looking forward to hearing your suggestions on what the good glass cleaners which can be mixed from concentrate are. I currently use sprayway glass cleaner and I love it, but with 4 price hikes just within the last year I am ready to move to something else. To save money, I would like to move to a product that I can mix from concentrate. I work on high end cars that command the best. I cannot have streaks, ruin tint, or offer a job that is below perfect. Any products that you find work very very very WELL?:think2

A lot of people use Stoner`s invisible glass. I use that as well as some ONR. Great shine and no streaking =]

for the windows, what are you dilluting the onr to?

I can`t imagine anything being cheaper than Sprayway. It`s like $8 for a 4-pack at Sams Club...

Wouldn`t Stoners be almost identical to SprayWay?

Go to an autoglass replacement shop and ask to buy a case of 12 next time they order one in...

I know the glass shops pay about $30-$35/case of 12 cans, so thats like $3/can even with a small markup.

ONR will be tough to beat from a price and versatility point of view (and you may already have it). Though ONR has very good cleaning ability, I`ve experienced a lot of times when it wouldn`t be able to cut through various contamination films. Things like tough environmental contamination or interior glass plasticizer film.

FK makes a very nice glass cleaner that can be diluted.

You can order it directly from Stoners website and a 12 pk is $35.70 with free s&h.

using a QD works well to clean glass as well. i use IG on the inside of my tint, and FK425 on the outside glass as well as on the rest of the car...

Too bad they don`t ship to Canada, but thats a great deal and definitly something everyone should think about!

1 can lasts me MONTHS of professional detailing... A case would last years.

And it cuts through EVERYTHING.

i bought a 4pk of IG at sams club for around $5 IIRC when it was on clearance (seasonal item) and i`m still on the first can...

I have both Stoners invisible glass, and Sprayway. Just like my window tint associate, I prefer Sprayway. It foams better and more visibly and leaves a streak free shine. *I* feel that it cleans a little better than Stoners...but Stoners is a great product too. I use them somewhat interchangeably.

Yes it`s tint safe and the ratio is 4 ounces of concentrate to one gallon of distilled water. Use only distilled water. You can buy the Zep at your local Home Depot. It`s green and clearly states on the label safe for tinted windows. Make sure you only buy that one as I`m pretty sure Zep has another version that is not tint safe. You`ll absolutely love this stuff.
