Windows

We talk a lot in here about bodywork, but windows never get a look in. What does everybody do to make sure the windows sparkle?

Part of the reason I ask is that I've just driven back from Manchester and the evening (evil!) sun showed up all sorts of marks on them I never new were there.

I use Rain X on the windscreen which is fabulous in wet weather, no wipers needed above 40mph, but make sure you buff it up well with a paper towel.

Keeping the side windows grease free is a problem also on MINIs, not to mention the stupid scooshers that put more water on the side of the car than the front, a slight redesign to channel the water away would be appreciated.

Mr Muscle window cleaner applied with Bounty kitchen roll!!;):D (then finished off with a coat of Rain-X!:cool:)

I have Rain-X in the shed, but I've not put it on the new car as the last time I used it I ended up with streaky patches all over the windows, although I was informed that Fairy would strip it, and then reapply it. If it ever stops raining this weekend I'll put some back on again!

one question though - do you have to wear a string vest and geeky glasses when using Mr Muscle? :cool:

i use rainwater!:cool:, everything else gets a good clean always forget about the windows!:cool:

windscreen on my motors annoy me.

Fine when not raining look great.

However when raining and I use the wipers you can see all the small blotchy marks.

Not a fan of rainx.

So was wondering if I use Meths to clean the window will this lift off all the grease and crime.

I seem to remember this was mentioned ages ago. Meths will get all the rubbish off but you run the risk of damaging the rubber on the blades.

What if you have had your windows tinted? What product is good for cleaning the film?

I [s]drink[/s] use meths all the time, works a treat gets rid of the grease build up.:D

Be careful with the meths folks - it'll not be so friendly to your paint work - however the ever helpful AA or RAC adverts on just now recommend common garden vinegar! :)
