On the cleaning of the glass issue---- Marshal Ruskin set me straight on this--and it was a Miracle !!! I have this absolutley streak free window cleaner--called Spray Away--( available at most Ace is the Place, and Costco ) And I spritzed the glass with it and took 00000000 steel wool, and wiped the cleaner around the glass----- Wiped dry with a turkish towel---- WOW---I have never had glass this clean--- Good formula for squeaky clean glass, inside as well as out--- Later, Terry
E-mail message That thin film is important. When out driving, all kinds of stuff builds up on the windshield and it prevents the water film from forming properly. So you get skips, beading spots, and streaks. And of course the rain always catches you before you do your next window cleaning, right? Well, to combat this, I keep a bottle of 409 cleaner in the VAN box that I maintain at all times. This stuff will cut the oily film right off the windshield. A few squirts, and a wipe with a towel about gets it. The water film will form perfectly and the wipers will absolutely clears the wind shield. Try it. One thing, rinse the rubber around the windshield pretty good. It tends to take the oils out of the rubber and can cause dry rot at an early age if steps are not taken. Same for the wiper blades as well. But knowing is half the battle. John Rodgers 88 GL driver |
