Autoglym "Fast Glass"

I was on a mission to find some more glass polish this afternoon, and came across this stuff in the Autoglym range. As they were out of Polish I thought I'd give this stuff a shot. It didn't mention being a polish on the back, but more of a cleaner, but it works a damn treat.

It sprays on like a mist and then you just wipe in a circular motion around the glass and it mops up fine grubby marks, dried on drops, etc, leaving a nice shiny lean surface behind. Only problem with using it on my front screen was it made all the small chips in the screen show up really bad.

Was only £4.99 too, and it even had the citrus'y smell like MC2 so, "mustn't grumble"

I quite like it too. But Mr Muscle window cleaner comes a close second.

Top Tip Number 5,219


Cleaning interior glass...........

Vinegar and newspaper.

Use dry newspaper to clean/polish the front windscreen interior

You will never have misted up windows again, trust me

No, but you will get black marks appear on the light coloured roof lining from the print.
However, some newspapers are better than others due to the older/newer print inks.

Erm, only if you are careless.

I always "ball" the paper so that it fits into my hand, that way where my hand goes the paper goes.

Never left any marks yet on light trim or headling, honest

You can do if you take the paper up the edges of the glass..even without being "careless"
