- Hey everybody!
Thanks so much for tuning in
to today's episode of Chemical Guys Detail Garage.
Today we're going over my favorite part about detailing.
Just kidding, it's not my favorite part.
It's actually my least favorite part
and that is cleaning glass.
We have this Mazdaspeed 3 in here
and right here on the window here
you see we have some bird droppings,
which gets on everybody's nerves but luckily
we have one product that cleans up nice and easily
and that is Glass Only.
This is a foaming agent that you spray direct on the surface
of your glass, give it a moment for surfaces such as this
that have bird droppings or tree sap
to absorb it, help it safely lift off the surface.
And this is safe if it gets on the paint work
because it will simply wipe right off.
And I will take clean microfiber towel.
You can use a waffle weave or a standard microfiber.
Now we're just gonna wipe it away
and it just gently removes anything that is on the surface
leaving behind a streak free shine there, perfect clarity.
You can come back and buff up any excess.
Like I mentioned, this is my least favorite part
about detailing because glass is so finicky
that you can see streaks
or some glass cleaners don't work very well
or maybe your microfiber towel lints
and this is something that you can't really hide
or you can't really play with
because it has to be done right
and the only way to do it right
is having the right products.
So you see you have Glass Only for troublesome areas
like bird droppings, tree sap, some water spots.
Or for your standard glass cleaning,
I always reach for Streak Free
and again we can spray this right on to the surface,
safe for tint and you just take a clean microfiber towel
and wipe away the excess.
And we do recommend using two microfiber towels
because this is going to make it
easier and safer to clean your glass.
This way you have one towel to pick up the product,
the spent dirt and everything like that
and one to buff it for a streak free shine.
But also, if you are doing an interior and exterior window
such as your windshield or obviously
all of your windows are interior exterior
but more like your windshield or your rear window
you want to use a cross hatching pattern,
alternating directions, for interior and exterior.
And what I mean by that is say if this was your windshield,
you would use a side to side motion for, say, the outside
and then an up and down motion for the inside.
This way you can see any areas you may have missed
and also this is the way you get the perfect clarity
because again like I'm saying, glass, you'll always see
some kind of streak or linter from the towel
but the best way to do it is with the right tips,
the right technique and also the right product.
Another area that has to be perfectly clean
is your mirrors.
And what I recommend doing is spraying the towel directly.
This way, one, you're controlling some over spray
but also you don't need to spray the mirror
because its going to run off into the crevices
and basically this is just the safest way to do this
without making a huge mess.
We'll just come back and buff up any excess
but some people ask me,
"How do you prevent streaking?"
Or, they have light haze on their glass
and the reason being is because
basically you're just using too much product
because the product doesn't have enough time
to basically get buffed off or dry
so the best way to do it is just with a couple sprays
and wipe it off using a clean microfiber towel
or waffle weave towel.
