Meguiar`s D120 Glass Cleaner Concentrate Review

Product Review: Meguiar`s D120 Glass Cleaner Concentrate

Introduction: I have heard many positive claims from fellow TID members about the cleaning abilities of Meguiar`s D120. The claims of no streaking intrigued me, as I have always had a hard time with cleaning glass. Every time I thought that I had the window perfectly cleaned, I would take out the car and once the sun hit it a a certain angle, I would see a whole window covered in streaks. I was skeptical, as I am with all glass cleaners.

This was a sample given to me by Jon at PAR Detailing. I can`t tell you how generous Jon has been to everyone here at TID with his offer, but I would like to thank him.

Product Description:
Meguiars Glass Cleaner Concentrate is the professional (and enthusiast`s) choice for cleaning smoker`s film, vinyl fog, residue, bug remains and road grime from glass surfaces. Meguiars Glass Cleaner Concentrate leaves windows streak free and crystal clear with minimal effort. This product is safe for use on tinted windows and is 100% ammonia free. One gallon of concentrate produces 11 gallons of amazing cleaner!

Method:
Sprayed directly on window and wiped with WW MF. Once product was spread evenly over windshield, I turned over the WW MF and polished with dry side.

Observations:
Window was crystal clear, with absolutely zero streaking and zero hazing. This product was extremely easy to apply and remove. It has a very pleasant grape scent. I would highly recommend this product, as I have finally found my go to glass cleaner.

Thank you again to Jon for the sample, and to Corey (CEE Dog), as I stole his review format (because he does it so well).

I got a sample from Jon as well. I just wanted to thank him for his generosity as this was a product I always wanted to try.

I love it. Great smell and zero streaks...:clap:

Great review Barry! Glad you like the "Grape Kool-Aid"

One suggestion I`d like to give is rather than flipping over your towel to a dry side, always have a separate towel handy for the finishing instead.

Clip from an article I wrote a while back...

The biggest mistake people make when cleaning windows is only using one towel to clean all the windows on the car. What they don?t realize is that after each consecutive window they clean, the towel not only becomes saturated with cleaner, but it also gets caked with all the dirt and grime you?ve picked up along the way. So basically, after a few windows you are just smearing around all that crud, which is what usually causes the streaking. Incidentally, if your towel is saturated you will never really able to dry the glass either?have you ever tried to dry a car with a wet towel before?

The solution to steak-free windows is what I call the ?two towel method.? The key to this method is to always have a second clean, dry towel to follow the first. On most cars I will actually use a total of 4 towels, 2 for the driver side and 2 for the passenger side.

Cheers, :soldier:

Good tip Chad. I will remember it for the next time I do the glass.:notworthy:

Thanks for the review Chad!
I have always wanted to try D120.
I also use the 2 towel method, but I have used SIG most of the time.
If anyone wants to trade a sample of D120 for something I have, let me know

I saw this thread and said "Hey! Barry wrote a review" and opened it up and thought "Barry used Coreys format," and then somehow wrote Chad... at this point I think someone editted my post :banghead: only because I made it a point to write Barry, haha.

Good review Barry.

This is (and has been) my go to glass cleaner for quite some time. The only problem is that I made the mistake of introducing my wife to it and now I find myself running low, quite quickly!

You need to hide it, so she can`t get her hands on it.:biggrin:

LOL! I gave my co-worker a bottle full of this stuff and his wife ended up taking it from him too!

I also try and "Buff/Finish" wipe in different directions on the inside vs the outside. ie Up and Down on the outside and side to side on the inside, that way when you do get some streaks you know which side of the window they are on, insted of doing both sides again!!
