Next time you are out Claying your car, remember to do the glass as well! Too many people neglect the glass and focus on the painted surface only. One thing to think about is glass is a pores surface also. It can collect just as much "junk" it as as the clearcoat does. That being said....you can remove a lot of contaminants both inside and out with a claybar!

I did mine last night, so I thought I would share!:cheers:

No problem! Next time you go to a show.....look at your glass vs. the competitions.

That is a very good idea.

Next time I go out to the garage I'm going to try that.:thumbsup:

:cheers: Good to hear, Nyvette! Did you happen to put anything on the glass, like your wax of choice, for added pop?

I wanted to report back my results of using a clay bar on my windshield.
My windshield is absolutely clean,clear and streak free.
Thanks for the tip...:iagree:
