Two questions: TW & Glass Wipes

I usually use a glass spray and am not wedded to any brand. But, sometimes I'd like to just easily touch up spots and not use those grody, dirty gas station squeegies. A friend suggested the Armor All Glass wipes, but I've heard mixed reviews. There are so many to choose from at Pepboys.



Does anyone have any thoughts on using these inside and/or outside?



My other question was re: Total Wax Ice Interior Care. This stuff looked like it would really work in the package, but it was $10. Has anyone used it? Is it worth it compared to Meguire's detailer?



Thanks guys.
 
Welcome to the forum! The only wipe I have used is the Meguiar's glass wipes, and they do a decent job for a quick fix. However, you might want to search here for a better glass solution for you. As far as the Ice, never used it. However, I really like the Meguiar's quick interior detailer for an in-between detail wipedown.
 
I've never had any luck with the armor all glass wipes. I got a lot of streaking from it. I use Eagle One 20/20 (which I swear by and is priceless to me for streak removal), but I think that most here use stoners invisible glass.
 
I used the Stoner's Invisible Glass Aerosol for years... Until I bought Griot's Garage Glass Cleaner...
 
I'd just carry some of your favorite glass cleaner with you in a smaller 4 or 8 ounce spray bottle with some cheap low nap MF's for quick touch-ups.

The Stoner's Invisible Glass can usually be found locally at Wal-Mart. Another locally available glass cleaner that got a good review recently was Windex No Drip:

I do like the Surf City glass cleaner but haven't decided if I really like it better than Stoner's yet or not. The Windex No Drip I have not yet tried but will probably pick some up because I like to use Windex on a lot of non-glass surfaces.
 
Armor All glass wipes always left little pieces of the pad on my windows. Lately I've been using dp krystal vision glass cleaner with 2 waffle weave MF's and it works great.
 
I find that wipes leave streaks. You don't buff the glass dry. I find that if you don't buff the glass dry you get streaks, regardless of the cleaner. Some more noticeable than others, but in the right light, they are still there.



Haven't used the TW stuff. TBH, I haven't been overly impressed with much of their stuff.
 
I agree with BigLeegr, that regardless of what manufacturers wipes I use, they tend to leave debris and streak. My go to glass cleaner/polish is No Streek now. I apply with a small mf applicator, wait till haze than wipe with a MF cloth. (absolutely no streaks or residue).



As far as the TW Ice interior detailer, I have used it and it works rather well. It imparts a nice smell, cleans without streaks and leave a natural finish. My only problem with this product is the cap on the bottle makes it difficult to apply the right amount. I would find it comparable to Meguiars QID.
