 - I tend to give the glass a once over with some claybar that's getting past it's best. Lubricate with some QD as you go along, dry off, then a coating of AG GP  The some Aquapel over the job. A top job, well done! Steve

| Re: the best glass cleaner ? I like AG glass cleaner too, only 2 dislikes about it, 1, it smells like hair dye, that ammonia peroxide smell, goes away when dry tho and 2: it goes very powdery when buffed off, if you do it last then I have to go and give the car a dusting afterwards.

I found that normal domestic window cleaning products work best (my product of choice is Nilglass). Rob.
