Cleaning Glass

We have that problem in Jabiru, We use brown vinegar it works well.

Water in a spray bottle, wipe with newspaper. Seems to work pretty well.

The Armorall glass cleaning wipes are good for getting most grime off and also will not damage any tinting film you might have.

Once it's clean then use RainX on the glass and demineralised water and RainX in the washers.

RainX puts a film on the glass and helps repel dirt, grim, etc. also water beads on it and runs off easier. Helps some when it's raining.

Having experienced the town waters of Cairns, Alice, Darwin, Jabiru, Broome and all areas in between, this is what I usually do ...

1. Only clean/ veh after sun goes down
2. After washing veh, squeege the glass
3. Use squeegee with rubber blade, sometimes I will wrap towelling around and melted ice/filtered water from esky and then redo glass
4. Use chamois to wipe along bottom of windows

This usually helps to get rid of the milky smear, especially in the drivers windscreen, don't let the glass dry naturally, creates a build up, inside I just use windex and newspaper, on tinted windows I gently use micro fibre clothe and windex without rubbing to hard. Oh, squeegees I pick up from sc etc, they work a ok. Squeege = rubber blade and foam section.

Dunno about this, just repeating what I heard on radio a couple of weeks ago. Newspaper used to be good to use because inks had a metho base. They don't any longer and the new base will slowly put a thin sticky layer onto glass. can anyone shed further light on this?

I use JIF creamy liquid, not AJAX, JIF has rounded particles, where-as AJAX has rough ones. use those white scourers not the green ones

all white scourers are non-scratchy, all other colours scratch, whites good for duco too, you can get big disc from cleaning suppliers

I wash my car when it rains....saves all those suds and bad water :-)


And I have only ever washed my windows with a wet chamois, then dry off with an old cotton t shirt. Spotless !!!

i learnt years ago of a pro glass installer de mineralized water and metho in a spray bottle or just grab the water out of the kettle when it cools down ,takes the minerals out of the water. spray on and wipe off with paper leaves no streaks Dags
