Hey everyone.. I'm about to step foot into the E92 cleaning world as I have had my baby for about 3 weeks now and she is dirty! Can anyone rec a good glass cleaner... I have no tints, just stock glass. Thanks! :rocks:

PS. Better for jet black.. .Zaino or Meguiars wax/sealant?

As for glass cleaner I would try to find some Stoners Invisible Glass. Best stuff ever. Then follow that up with some RainX. You'll loves how water beads off your windows.

I use this combo and love it. My only gripe is RainX leaves the windows a tad streaky after applying it cuz it's so damn hard to buff it all out, but that wears off in a day. I never tried cleaning the windows after cuz I figured it would remove the rainx I had just applied?

BTW, Stoners is safe for tinted windows.

You mean this one? http://www.invisibleglass.com/

Not to cut off darkcloud but that's the stuff. I love it also in addition to Sprayway Glass Cleaner.

I don't like RainX for the streaking issue but use Zaino Z2Pro on all of my glass panels for the roll off effect in rain. Works better than Rainx and lasts longer.

+1 on Stoners, excellent glass cleaner. Meguiars NXT is also very good.

Yeah I don't like that either about RainX, but I deal. I also tried using invisible glass after applying rainx and no streaks. It's raining right now and the water is beading just fine so no problems there either.

I've also been to lazy to order any Zaino stuff, which I need to. I can't find anyone near me that carries it on the shelf.

I can usually get the windows to look fine after application of RainX, but it takes rubbing/buffing the windows pretty hard to get it looking good. Does the Zaino stuff come off the windows easier?

I have tried a lot of them, Armour All, Mothers, Meguiar NXT, Windex.....and the winner is....

Stoner's Invisible glass!

you'll need two fiber towels to make your windshield invisible, first one to spread the product and wipe, second one to wipe/buff off the excess, and make your windshield/windows invisible!

When I used RainX I could get it clear but the effort you mentioned was a pain i.e. rubbing and buffing. Here in FL the rains don't let it last too long either.

I use Z2Pro on my windows - same as my paint and it goes on so thin it is very easy to remove and streak free on glass. While it lasts longer on my glass than RainX did it still doesn't hold up as long as that applied to my paint. I love what it does during the rain showers though.

As everyone's said... go with Stoner's Invisible Glass.

Did you get your Zaino stuff from the website? Or are there normal stores that carry their stuff?

pander5 · 11-13-2006, 07:24 PM

website.

That sucks--so each time you need more product you have to wait AND pay shipping? Probably why people end up using Windex or something similar.

Stoners invisible glass or srayway.
