McKee’s 37 20/20 Cockpit Glass Cleaner




Description:

When a spray on glass cleaner just won’t cut it!

McKee’s 37 20/20 Cockpit Glass Cleaner is a non-abrasive polish for interior windows that removes smoker’s film, vinyl and plastic fogging (generally on newer cars), and virtually anything else that conventional glass cleaner will not remove. Engineered to provide a deeper clean than a standard glass cleaner, McKee’s 27 20/20 Cockpit Glass Cleaner works on a microscopic level to gently remove contaminants that cloud your glass.

While having clear and gloss paint LOOKS the best, having crystal clear glass may be the most important. Grimy, dirty windows hinder your visibility and can cause serious accidents for both yourself and others driving around you. That’s why having a top-notch glass cleaning routine is crucial and including McKee’s 37 20/20 Cockpit Glass Cleaner in that routine keeps you even safer.

McKee’s 37 20/20 Cockpit Glass Cleaner, while gentle and non-abrasive, effectively removes many of the most common forms of glass contaminants. Outgassing of your vinyl and plastic surfaces is a common occurrence in a newer vehicle and it leaves behind trace pollutants that can cloud your glass surface. Cigarette smoke leaves behind an oily film that standard glass cleaners simply cannot remove. McKee’s 37 20/20 Cockpit Glass Cleaner is an exception and will make quick work of removing the above contaminants.

For those times that you find yourself scrubbing on the interior side of your glass trying to remove greasy fingerprints, dog slobber, and any other stuck-on contaminant, McKee’s 37 20/20 Cockpit Glass Cleaner is the answer! It will gently polish those spots away for an all-over, crystal-clear glass surface.


Price:

$17.99 for 8oz


Review:

This review will be short and sweet.

Here`s the description and directions of this product:



It has an extra sticker that says "shake well". I guess it requires a lot of agitation for the product`s components to mix to ensure proper operation.



I was dreading doing this review because I know it will be such a pain to capture the film of dirt that builds up on the inside part of the glass. Hope I did OK LOL!

Here`s a before short of the inside part of the windshield. This car`s inside windshield hasn`t been wiped down for a long time so it built up a film of "stuff". I guess this is a combination of dirt and the out-gassing of interior components.



Directions say to apply a quarter size amount of cleaner onto a microfiber applicator pad:



Rub in circular motions until a haze develops. Let me tell you, it`s hard to polish the inside of the windshield given the awkward position you have to subject your body into.



Wait one minute to allow the product to haze before removing the glass cleaner. Then wipe it off with a microfiber towel:



Here`s how to glass looked after cleaning it with the McKee’s 37 20/20 Cockpit Glass Cleaner. As you can see, it`s crystal clear!





I left a small section of the windshield un-treated just to show you how gross the film inside your windshield is and the difference this product makes on your vision:





As you can see, there is a cloudy section on the passenger side (right) and the part on the left is clearer!


Thoughts and Observations:

This product`s consistency is weird. When I was shaking the bottle before using it, it sounded like water but when it came out, it was on the thicker side as you saw in the picture above. I would say it`s somewhat in the middle of water and polish. And as soon as I was rubbing it on the windshield, I would see water droplets separate. I`m sure this is the reason why the instructions say to shake well.

The smell is a very mild chemical smell - I can`t pinpoint exactly what it smells like.

The product was very easy to apply and buff off. It left the glass EXTREMELY SLICK. It feels like I just applied sealant on the glass.

I intentionally hit some parts of my windshield`s tint and I didn`t see any harm done to the tint.

Only con I have is the price. It`s a little pricey for an 8oz bottle.


Conclusion:

This product works as advertised - it makes your glass clean and crystal clear. It removes the film created by the out-gassing process of your interior components. If you find out that your typical glass cleaner isn`t working effectively anymore, give this product a shot!

As always, thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed this review. Comments are appreciated.

Marc - did you try it on rear glass with defogger lines (copper)? I`d be interest in that additional information if possible since damage to the defroster circuit is expensive to repair properly.

Great review, and good job showing the difference in the glass. I`ll pick up some of this. I rarely clean the inside of my windshield because it`s a PITA, but last time I did the glass was almost tacky. I was surprised because there has never been any smoke or anything like that in my car, so it was outgassing or evaporating protection product on the dashboard, usually PB natural look or cleaning with 1Z cockpit.

Used it on the rear glass with the embedded defroster lines of my dad`s car and had no issues.

Nice review. I really like this product also. It is kind of a pain to polish all areas, but a lot better than trying to get rid of streaks in the hard to reach spots.
I think when they say don`t use on tinted windows they mean windows with a tint film put on them, not the internal tint at the top of windshields.

Very nicely done! Love those 50/50 shots

Hi grungy,

I didn`t try it on my rear glass because I had tint on all windows except the windshield.

Thank you RMD! I`m glad you liked the pictures I took of the glass. I was dreading taking pics.

Thanks DaveT435!

My car doesn`t have any built in tint from factory on any windows. The windshield strip was added when I had the tint installed on all windows.

Very nicely done! Love those 50/50 shots

Thanks a lot Angus! Much appreciated.
