Since the only forum I know that has a cleaning tips section is the 5th Gen guys and I wanted all the 4th Gen guys to hear this one I'm posting here:) Saw this on SpeedVision. To really get your windows clean, inside and out, use very fine steel wool and window cleaner...lots of window cleaner. I went to the hardware store and bought some "0000" steel wool. I think it is the finest grade you can get. Liberally sprayed down the window and then used the steel wool. Wiped up with a terry cloth. Yup it works, the windows absolutely gleam. If you've got any "junk" on them this will take it right off. You know that edge of junk on your side windows where it hits the moulding...gone. After I used the steel wool and wiped I went over it one more time with glass cleaner and newspaper. It looks great. CAUTION, don't do this if you have tinting.
Post your results. Cheers |

Very Very Fine Steel Wool
Originally posted by gtr_rider steel wool, are you out your mind. Really, it was a tip from a car restorer. It's really fine steel wool. They do it prior to showing their cars. The guy even said that they took a random orbital buffer to their windows after they did this. Hey, it works. The glass absolutely gleams from outside and from inside it's like the window isn't even there. BTW, you do this inside and outside. The guy said that it really helps inside in that you develop a film from the plastic inside the car and or leather etc. Tried it. It works, just wanted to share the wealth. IF you're sceptical...try it on a window on your wife's car first:) Cheers |

Will the 0000 steel wool scratch the glass?
