Lately I noticed I have a thick film on the exterior of my windows. I tried to clean in with windex, but that didn't seem to work. Does anybody know of any good products that could remove this film??? It's wierd because it's not greasy, it feels somewhat rough.

 

use any window washer plus newspaper to clean window, it does a magic thats what i do my car and after it my car shines!

 

I like Eagle 20/20 and a roll of paper towels or clean, cotton terry towel.

Stay away from Armor-all window cleaner. It tends to leave smears. Also, I would avoid Windex due to the ammonia content. Ammonia can damage tinted windows.

 

Make your own with Rubbing Alcohol and water. it works great

 

I use a powdered cleanser called Bon Ami. You can buy it at the supermarket and it's cheap. I paid 79 cents for the can. Here's how to use it:
1. Wet down the windshield / window
2. Dampen a sponge and sprinkle some Bon Ami on the sponge
3. Scrub away on the glass. The Bon Ami will turn from powder to a pasty substance that will lightly polish the glass.
4. Rinse with water. You might want to sponge down the windshield to ensure that you remove all the residue.

You won't believe how clear your glass will get and your wipers will work better as well as the surface will be smoother.

I've used this stuff on my Maxima, my wife's minivan, my old Jeep, and all the Police Cruisers in my department and it's awesome. Much clearer view, better wiper operation, and for the price you can't beat it.

 

in a spray can, i guess this way i dont have to add water.

works Great was like 2 bucks canadian

 

I like the powdered version better as it seems to polish the glass more effectively.

 

will it damage your paint? since it is some what abrasive?

 

Thanks, I think I'll try that Bon Ami thing. LIke 99NosMax said, will it damage the paint if some of it trickles down onto the paint?

 

Since you're scrubbing the glass, and not the paint, it's not as issue. By putting the cleanser on the sponge rather than trying to shake it on to the windows, you end up getting less on the paint anyway.
I do make certain that I rinse down the glass thoroughly afterwards, and I usually do this right before I wash the car.
I use the Bon Ami stuff twice a year when I'm getting ready to detail my car. I wet down the car, use the Bon Ami on all the windows & windshield, then wash the car and then polish & wax the paint.

 

I'm a straight water and newspaper man myself. You could use any cleaner instead of water, but newspaper is the best.

 

Someone submitted a review at MaximaProducts on Stoner Invisible Glass. It's a spray and wipe window cleaner. Says it works well.

 

Will the Bon Ami remove slight scratches on the glass?
