That has come up really really well.
On a side note, I tried out some Auto Glym tyre shine today, cant remember the exact product name, and it is pure junk. Horrible product to use and the results werent that great.

Hi out there,
Does anyone know of a glass polish that's more aggresive than the Autoglym one? I've used Autoglym to get out some water spots on my rear glass but I had to do the rear screen 8 times before they were all gone. Really tiresome work.

for wheels it has to be 'so easy wet look' (black lid grey can)
for windows basically any window cleaner, windex and wip with newspaper for a no smug finish. trust me |

Just removed all the acid rain spots on my glass using good old Brasso metal polish with a orbital polisher. Even made the windows go up & down easier!

Its NOT recommended to use Windex on the tinted side of the glass as the amonia in the Windex damages the tint. I use metho mixed with water on the ouside of the window and a damp chamios only on the inside.

My Wash Cycle is usally Like this ..
Head up to the Carwash , Squirt it down with the Soap and High Pressure Water .. Gets Rid of Most Heavy Dirt and Bird Crap . Head back home and rip out The Meguiars Quik Detailer and Give it a Really good going over with a Microfibre Cloth . Whilst im Quick Detailing , I Use the Meguairs Non Acid Wheel Cleaner with Armor All Foam Treatment , they usually take about 10 minutes to do there thing . Hose off the Wheel Cleaner and Put car in Carport for 1 hour to cool down , then Out comes the Turtlewax Liquid Claybar . Brings the Paint back to the Deepest Burgundy you have ever seen and makes the paint into glass, then on goes 2 coats of Gold Class Liquid Wax and hey Presto , she is done !

You guys are wasting your time cleaning windows with Windex, News Paper or what ever else has been mentioned. Get yourself an Enjo Glove/cloth and a terry towel cloth. All you do is wet the Enjo glove with water, wipe the windows, then wipe windows with the Terry cloth. Leaves the windows crystal clear with no streaks or hard work. It would take me no longer that a minute and a half to do all the windows on my car.
