What's up guys? Today, we have a quick tip on how to make your glass look factory fresh.
Now, this VW came into here today with a lot of dirt, bird droppings, and waterspots on
the glass and we are going to show you the quickest way to protect it and also prevent
future damage.
So, to start off, we are going to clean the glass using Glass Only.
This is a foaming glass cleaner that helps remove any kind of abrasive particles of dirt,
road debris, bird droppings... and all you have to do is shake up the bottle and we are
going to spray it directly on the surface.
You can see that foaming action, just like when you're using a foam cannon, this helps
loosen up any abrasive particles and it's also going to make it easier for you to clean it.
Now, we are also going to be using two towels.
We are going to be using blue because we've designated these for our windows and glass. Just
working in straight lines, we're picking off water spots, pollen, bird droppings, or anything
else that's on the glass.
You can see all that dirt that's underneath there.
Use a second towel to buff off any excess and reveal that streak-free high shine.
You can see there's a little bit of residue on the inside of the glass.
We will get that in a minute.
It comes off nice and easy to reveal perfect clarity and a factory shine.
Now, next, we're going to tape it down the center to give you guys a 50/50 of what just
cleaning the glass looks like and also what claying and adding a layer of JetSeal will do for water
beading and also to protect yourself against UV rays or anything else that can stick to
the surface.
So, again, we will just spray it directly onto the glass.
It's ok if you get a little bit of overspray on the plastics or on the paint.
It simply wipes right off.
We're wiping in one direction picking up the spent cleaner, any pollen, bird droppings,
dirt, remaining water spots, or anything else that was sitting on the glass.Then, we will
come back with our second towel and just buff away the excess.
This is going to prep the surface for the next step.
So, as you guys can see, I'm on the inteior of the car now and I am agoing to show you
guys one of the quickest and most effective ways on how to clean your glass.
So, to prevent any over spray, I'm going to spray the towel directly using the Glass Only
again and I'm going to work from the passenger side of the vehicle, this way I'm not fighting
the steering wheel, console, or anything else like that, but i can work my way around.
I'm getting all the way to the bottom. You can also see that I'm cupping my hand, folding
it underneath, this way I can get as much of the glass as possible because we all know
that the corners and small crevices are the hardest areas to get clean.
Using one towel that has Glass Only on there and then folding my hand underneath here just
like I'm doing an underhand toss will remove as much of the dirt and stains on this vehicle.
The owner of this car actually smokes quite a bit in here, so it has some kind of smoke
residue.
I'm going to fold the towel over.
You can see that it has some sort of brown residue on there and just buff off the excess.
Nice factory clarity, perfectly smooth glass.
Now, we're ready for the next step in our detailing process.
So, rolling right along with the next step in our detailing process for today: I've got myself
a Clay Block and Clay Luber and I'm going to spray it directly on the glass which is going to add
lubrication to safely remove anything on the surface and I'm also going to spray the
block, which is a synthetic rubberized clay material to remove any impurities or contaminants
which give it a rough feel and rough look.
At first, it is going to feel rough and drag across the surface, but as you pull those
impurities out, it's going to get nice and smooth and slide right across the surface.
Now, I bet you're wondering if glass can actually grab pollution, and actually, it can.
You can feel pollen, or tree sap, or water spots on the glass and a clay bar or clay
block is a great way to remove them safely without having to use any kind of polish or
caustic material.
So, now that the surface is feeling really slick and smooth, we are going to take a clean
microfiber towel and start buffing off the excess using a green Workhorse Towel.
Fold it up in fours and start working in linear motions buffing off any of the excess Clay Luber.
I can feel that the surface is nice and smooth with a slick surface, which means that there
are no more impurities stuck in the glass.
That looks really nice and clear and now for our final step, we are going to apply a fine
layer of JetSeal.
What that's going to do is give it a layer of protection against water spots, UV rays,
or anything else that can damage the surface for up to 12 months.
Let's get to it.
So, after giving JetSeal about 15 minutes to cure to the surface, it's time to buff
it off. I'm going to be using a Happy Ending towel because this is a super plush towel
that picks up any kind of product: polish, wax, glaze, sealants very easily without scratching
the surface.
Now, you can see that it comes off nice and easy because I applied a fine coat that not
only saves product and time for buffing off, it also ensures a better bond because if you
think about it, only the initial layer that's touching the surface is going to be used.
The rest of it is unfortunately being buffed off.
Now, I'm just about done buffing this off and like I said, I have a piece of tape here
to show you guys a 50/50 difference of what it would look like just cleaning it and also
claying and sealing it.
So, to prove this, I've got a cup of water right here and I am going to give you guys
a little demonstration of what it looks like when you're outside with rain, dew, all that
kind of stuff that hits your glass.
