i used simple green on my friend's celica and her engine bay was a little filthy. sprayed it down with simple green and covered the alternator and all electircal components. Left the simple green on there for about 5 minuts and brushed anything that I didnt want the water beating down on and then sprayed the rest. the engine bay looked like 100 times better. Now that I used her car as a test pigeon I will cover the MILLIONS of electrical components in my car and do the same.

I wanted to make my Cold Air Intake look like chrome. I don't have a before pic (sorry), but it was very smooth, but dull.



I used Mother's Aluminum Polish and a buffer. It took about 3 hours to get this look.

Hey Bill,



With your last name, I can't believe you're not using "LusterLace." The stuff is fantastic.

First thing your going to want to do is quit using a window cleaner. Use water instead :soldier:

After you get the windshield wet, start wiping and don't quit until the surface is 100% dry :sarge

Make absolutely sure your window towels are free from any type of fabric softner Da Rules!

Its also a good idea to leave your window/sunroof cracked so the interior can breath OMG!

Follow these steps and this will help reduce your frustration with window cleaning :wizard:


Trouble :-B
 
Another suggestion. If you can, turn the car to face directly into the sun, so you will be able to see all the spots that need to be re touched. Try cleaning with a waffle weave towel, and polish with a dedicated glass towel.

I love the waffle towels on glass.
 
An LED headlamp can help see any spots.

I use Stoners but if the interior glass is nasty it gets alcohol first.

Stoners (and others) have a tool that helps you get into low profile (shallow angle) windshields.
 
I like using distilled water and vroom glass towels

Sometimes interiors need something a little stronger if they are really dirty. sprayway or stoners first and then going over it again with distilled water works for me .

Suggestion on using sunlight to see any streaks is also a good one ! I try to do the same .
 
glass

you could also use klasse aio-use it lightly and wipe off,gets the oils of the glass to make it easier to use glass cleaner after klasse-works for me
 
My interior glass gets a 3-step process and always comes out spotless.

1. Gather needed supplies.
2. Give supplies to wife.
3. One hour later, spotless glass.

:)
 
I use mostly Sprayway on the exterior but I always use two towels: one for the initial wipe and a dry one to buff dry.

On the interior I use many brands (depending on the mood and what is handy).
 
I share your pain! Especially trying to clean the tints on the back and side glass. After trying countless products and methods I finally found a way to do it. The trick is to have a very bright light on the outside of the vehicle, like the 1000 watt halogens, pointed at the glass surface but not in your line of sight - from the side is best. This will show all the haze, smears, dirt etc. Then make sure your hands are VERY clean. Any oils, soaps, etc. in your hands will go on the towels and transfer onto the glass.

I found that a dedicated waffle weave glass cleaning MF towel (or two) is a must. Every other towel I've tried just smears stuff around. I use one towel to apply Invisible Glass liberally, and I mean pretty wet. This way I don't miss any spots. Then I quickly follow that before the Invisible glass is fully dry with the dry towel folded twice into a square. The two outside surfaces of the towel I use only for the initial wipe down and drying. Then I flip the towel to the inside surfaces and wipe everything again, checking for smears using the lights on the outside. So far, Invisible Glass is the best glass cleaner I've tried.

Once you get the glass perfectly clean the first time, all subsequent cleanings go a lot easier.

Best,

Jose
 
I dislike using any sort of dedicated window cleaner; I get the best results using IPA cut 1:1 with water. It flashes off the glass rather quickly, but I never have issues with streaking/smearing. Use it with 2 towels (one to clean the glass, one to wipe it dry with) and I'm pretty sure you'll find the results to your liking.
