- What's going on Chemical Guys Family?
Thanks so much for tuning in for today's
episode of Detail Garage.
A lot of us have the same problem
where we're cleaning our vehicles
and then the last step is going to be
something that's very crucial
and that is cleaning the glass.
And this Infiniti has been in the shop
and it's gotten a little bit of dust
and things on the glass itself
and also some smudges.
So, today we're going to show you guys
how to properly remove all that stuff with one,
without scratching it
and two, without leaving any kind of streaks.
So let's get started.
So we're going to be using
one of my favorite glass cleaners,
which is Streak Free.
This is safe for your interior
and exterior glass and windows,
including your tinted surfaces.
So you don't have to be worried
about any kind of staining or discoloration,
but all you have to do is simply spray directly
onto the surface,
and I recommend doing just a very fine mist
because this is going to reduce any kind of streaking.
That's a problem that a lot of people have
is by putting too much product on the surface
and then it's really hard to buff it off,
but also we're going to be using alternate directions.
So for the exterior of the glass,
you can use a cross-hatching pattern,
going side to side or up and down,
but you want to change that direction,
as you move on to the interior,
this is going to not only help you,
wipe away everything safely
without any kind of swirling action,
but you're also going to be able to tell
which side you need to maybe work better on
or come back and wipe away any streaks.
But you can see here just,
easily picks up any kind of light staining,
water spots, any kind of dust
and bird droppings to restore that clarity
and all that nastiness
that was just sitting on the glass there,
also a pro tip while you're working on
the exterior side of your windshield,
is to wipe down the wiper blades.
So what you have to do is take your glass cleaner
and then spray it directly onto your towel.
And this just picks up anything
that could potentially scratch the glass,
or spray any kind of contaminants.
You see that light layer of dirt
that was sitting on the surface there.
And again this is just going to
overall give you a better finish
and also it's going to prevent any kind of imperfections.
So now let's move on to the interior of the glass
so we can finish off the whole restoration
of the clarity on this Infiniti.
Now on the inside of the glass,
I always recommend sitting in the passenger seat,
this way you're not fighting the steering wheel,
but also you can turn your hand upside down
and really work your way to the bottom of the glass,
this way as you look at the windshield
you're not going to see a streak of dirt,
or maybe just streaks in general,
but now just as we had mentioned on the outside,
we're going to alternate our direction
and to prevent any kind of messes,
we're just going to spray directly on to the towel.
And as we worked outside,
we worked in the side to side motion,
so, on the interior,
we're going to work up and down.
And again, this is going to help us just to see any areas
that we may have missed or any kind of streaks,
to reveal a perfect finish.
You can also use a waffle towel
if you're more comfortable
with that for wiping away spent product
or anything that's on the surface
and will leave a very clean finish.
But I like using microfiber
just in case there's something
really abrasive on the surface.
You've got all these fine hairs
and noodles on there
that are going to absorb it
without dragging it across the surface
and this prevents any kind of scratches,
because, as I'm sure you've seen before,
they're scratches on glass,
but it takes a lot of work to remove all that,
because it's a very hard surface.
It's really hard to scratch glass,
but it's also really hard
to remove any kind of imperfections.
Now we finished the inside of the glass
and it has a lot of that clarity restored.
It looks very clean,
but just like a pro tip mentioned
by alternate directions,
we can see (indistinct) we may have missed,
and I can see just a light smudge here
and also up here on the top.
So we're going to go back outside
and wipe off any of the excess.
We can check our work one final time,
and then that should wrap up
the glass detailing for this Infiniti.
Now, instead of spraying the glass again,
I'm just going to use a damp microfiber towel,
just buff off anything that was leftover or any residue.
I can flip it over and dry it off,
still using that same pattern,
just in case we may have missed an area somewhere else,
but already you can see there's a huge difference
from one side to the other,
the non clean side,
which is covered in dust
and pollen and all kinds of droppings and water spots.
And they have a beautiful restored side on this end.
And also we've cleaned off one of the wiper blades
just to ensure that we're not bringing
that dirt back to the surface
or potentially scratching it.
But also when you're working on these newer vehicles,
you see that, you don't want to lift the wiper blade
and potentially scratch the hood.
So there's all kinds of ways to,
you know, get it to set this way.
So be sure to check that out
before you lift the wiper blades up
and potentially harm the paint
on the underside of your hood.
So guys, I'm going to work my way
around the rest of the vehicle,
cleaning up the glass
and also any kind of messes
that we may have missed.
