Once you use " " product to clean the water spots etc off the windshield.
Its a good time now to do a final step and clay bar the windshield.
You'll be amazed how more stuff it will clean off.
Then put a couple of coats of Reload paint sealant or your favorite glass treatment
IE: Rain-X,, etc
My car detailer who installed my clear bra and paint sealant uses the Reload on all painted and glass surfaces , works great on the windshield !
Bug splatter etc, cleans right off easy
I've been using Rain-X washer fluid for a while in my vehicles. I've decided it's well worth it. the concept is not unlike what is used in aircraft....rain repellent to encourage beading and shedding of water.
Home depot sells commercial window cleaner. Dilute two capfuls in a gallon of water for all glass. I use it in my washer fluid tank instead of the premixed products.
My coach also drips the white drops, a quick wiping with my mixture keeps it in check.
Careful on using that Commercial window cleaner in the washer fluid tank, depending on the chemical ingredients used in it , it could possibly streak the paint.
The problem with diluting is there are the ones that think if a little is good allot is better... Guess that is where the Darwin awards come in and here's your sign... lol
Kinda like using dish soap to wash your vehicle instead of car wash soap !
Certain chemicals for certain applications. ;)
I researched both my product and pre-mixed washer fluid. The pre-mixed contains methanol, listed as a poison and ethylene glycol another poison, to control or
prevent freezing. My product recommends 4 capfuls per gallon for window cleaning, I use two. My product contains alcohols, not listed as poisons ,dye and
fragrance.
The only dish soap I ever used ,based on a detailers recommendations 25 years ago, was Ivory liquid. That particular formula is no longer available. I have been
using
wash designed for cars and manufactured for the higher end wax manufacturers. Having owned classic vehicles with paint jobs costing 10K and up I know what
goes on paint and what doesn't. Here's your sign.
