How to finish off the glass after waxing paintwork?

[W1ghty]

Does waxing the windscreen cause judder on the wiper blades ?

Rashman you must have a magic duster- if it can climb up the window and over the roof haha.

Used whatever wax i was using at the time when doing the car, done this for years on many different cars without a hint of a problem

I have been impressed with the Auto Finesse glass cleaner and also their polish and wax for the bodywork.

It’s Autoglym for me as well but I used RainX on the screen, it’s brilliant.
On my SL I’ve gone right over the top with Rain X and now hardly ever use the wipers except at slow speed.
When I pointed this out to the missus she was suitably impressed watching the rain just glide off the glass.

I must give RainX a try on my screen.

First time I hadn’t experience with RainX was in my sons van when I went along with him to pick up his new R1 Anniversary Edition.
Strangely enough on the way home on the M6 a rather nice black Merc Estate overtook is.
It was de badged with exception to the Merc star but I got my attention and turned out to be the CLS Shooting Brake.
Less than a month later we purchased ours replacing the Jaguar XF which had been written off just weeks after getting all four doors replaced due to corrosion.
You can Google that one

go with an APC like surfex hd, then clay it to make it clean final step is a sealer I have heard super resin polish is goood

For RainX, do you use the combined cleaner/repellent or just the rain repellent (£7 and £3 respectively from Amazon)?

I wax the windows too.
After I buff the wax off and let it cure overnight, I then go over the car and windows with detailing spray.
I can throw a cloth up the bonnet and it’ll slide up the windscreen, over the roof, down back window and over the boot.
Love a detailed car.
But I’m strange like that

Rash also your car never gets wet so you could put what you like on the glass without issue!

I use Angelwax H2Go which is a rain repellent. I have heard waxing windscreens can cause the wipers to judder but H2go is an excellent repellent.

As a glass cleaner Autoglym Fast Glass does exactly what it says on the bottle, works really well as a cleaner.

Totally agree buddy

Been using H2go for ages, for best results wash and decon the glass, finish with IPA neat., then apply 2 coats and apply to the wiper blades too. As for maintaining it. Generally I find that washing with a pure shampoo rinse and dry with a waffle weave towel is enough and dont often need a glass cleaner, but when I do I use Carpro Clarify as its suitable for coated glass

I use the distilled water collected from my dehumidifier use in a spray bottle and use the blue glass cloth from Wilco. (£3) In my opinion the main component in getting a good result is in the cloth you use more than the product.

Pop in to the £ shop ask for ASTONISH glass cleaner ..My wife is a cleaner for 20 years at the bank .She told me to use it ,,i have it off Ebay now in boxes of 6 .. Best glass cleaner i have ever used .

As said before, I use WWW all over, and that includes on the front screen. Rain repellent extrordinaire.

Ive never put WWW on the front screen i didn't think you was supposed to do that? Ive never put on tyres either do you do that as well? is it any good ? lots of stuff ends up on your wings where i don't think that would.

Can’t say I’ve tried it on my tyres, but screen never had a problem.

Bohle Glass Cleaner and use 2 ply paper towels.

It's used professionally in the glass industry and cuts through anything!
