product_G-133.gif






Price & Price Per Ounce:



$4.99

$.21/ounce





Manufacturer Claims:



Specially formulated to deliver the best clarity against the toughest dirt and grime, NXT Generationâ„¢ Glass Cleaner comes backed with a streak-free finish guarantee or your money back. Our ESP advanced technology delivers streak-free no-haze perfect clarity and superior cleaning against smoke film, bugs, tree sap, grime and contaminants. Safe for all tinted windows, ammonia free.





Packaging:



A well put together package thats ergonomically fit. It has a very fine mist sprayer that leaves a neat and controlled spray pattern.





Color/Scent/Viscosity:



A clear watery liquid with a fresh scent.





How I used (as per instructions):



Spray on, wipe away with MF, flip MF to remove any remaining streaks.





Overall Thoughts:



I used both with a Meguiar's Glass Towel and a Poorboy's General Purpose Towel. No matter what, this product far exceeded my expectations. I thought I had a nice glass cleaner until I tried this. I did a never cleaned in 8 months slider door (in and out) in my appartment. The amount of grime turned the towel a dark black but the glass was streak free. If you buy one product from the NXT line, this is it. I really can't rave enough about this STREAK FREE product.





Other Notes:



Using the product reguarly seems to leave a light protective barrier on the surface. The MF glides over much easier and the glass stays cleaner. Once again, BUY THIS PRODUCT :D.

I am a member of the Meguiar's Product Testing Team, but this review was purely objective in many ways and the feelings are true.
 
Yeah, I was quite impressed. I only had very minor hazing to deal with but you know me and my inspection lights :o. Upon inspection with both the halogens and the 300 watt incandescent, I confirmed the cleaner did quite a remarkable job on the glass. :up
 
Its truly amazing. I'm sorry if I sound like a broken record, but it really needs to be tried to be believed.





I think it will solve all of our glass cleaning woes.





Oh yeah, I'd say its a 8 out of 10 for cleaning ability.
 
I would like to transfer some to a 2 ounce tiny pump spray bottle and try it in conjunction with my Glass Wizard. The misting of that little bottle which comes with it even seems to make simple IPA:water perform well.
 
I have to add that this IS truly the best glass cleaner that I have used to date. I wish it was available in a gallon size but with the little product that is needed to obtain the outstanding results it will last a long time. In case you can't tell, you need to buy this product.:)
 
Jeez Sean. Three different sites (here, megs board, Team teg), same reviews. Its all good though. I need to try this stuuf. Thanks for the review man.
 
For those of you that have tried Stoner's IG how would you compare it to NXT glass cleaner? I have 5 cans of IG to use up and I am looking for a cheaper alternative.
 
I've used Stoner's IG, Rain-X Glass Cleaner, Eagle 1 20-20, Gliptone Glass Cleaner, Gliptone Industrial Glass Cleaner.



This one supercedes them all with the Gliptone Industrial in 2nd.

I'm a big fan of Rain-X, I wonder if this "light protective barrier" will cause a problem.
 
Scimmia - I doubt it. Rain-X bonds really well onto glass and I doubt this will remove it. It should only improve how Rain-X works.





Sullybob: Thanks :).

I think you did 6 reviews yesterday on Megs products. Did you win a prize or did you just go out and buy them all at once and decided to review them all?



I am very interested in trying out the Glass Cleaner now. I really like the new Dual Fiber Glass Towel. Got to try them together.
 
stevet: I'm on Meguiar's Product Testing Team. The duo work great together, but with any MF, this stuff will excel.



Beason: I've tried Sprayaway, Stoner's IG, Eagle 1 20/20, Gliptone Glass Cleaner, and Gliptone's Industrial Glass Cleaner...this one beat them all. If I could get good pictures of clean windows I would, but it'd be pointless. It's something you really have to try out.
 
I've tried it too, got it with the rest of the new stuff from Meguiars to test.



I think it cleans a bit better than 20/20 and has the same water repellent abilities. Same streak-free performance too. Only problem is it costs over $1 more per bottle than 20/20 and with as much as I use, I'm not sure I can justify the extra cost for similar performance.



The somewhat better cleaning properties are important but more on interior glass than exterior glass since I wash the car before cleaning the windows so the outside glass is already pretty clean.



I will be going back and forth between the two for the next few weeks to see which one I prefer but like I said, when you go through 40-50 bottles a year, price does matter. For the average weekend detailer, I'd probably be inclined to recommend the NXT Glass Cleaner over 20/20 for the enhanced cleaning ability.
