What is safe on glass?

[Zuke]

I've noticed that getting water spots off the windows can be a pain. After washing and claying the windows i still am left with nasty spots. I have seen others using UC and other things like 105 and or 205 on the glass, how safe is this? THe results seem to be great, im on vacation right now or i would go do a test spot. Can i get some feedback on this issue? Thanks everyone

Pretty much everything is safe for the outside of glass. I've used M83, M105 and D151 all with great results.

I just used ScratchX 2.0 on a truck I ddetailed today and it cut right through them.

I use a chrome polish, seems to work well for me.

Are you guys applying these by hand or with a DA or Rotary?

#4 works well. using a rotary and wool pad left nasty marring for me. I switched to rotary #4 and foam polish pad with light pressure and low speed and the glass came out awesome.

I've always used the DA with foam pads.

Question for you all: How clear was the glass after?

I hear someone say they had tiny little holes afterwards...

If you use M105, do you finish with M205, or just polish it out with light pressure with M105?

Odd, I've never experienced that. I never have to finish down. I don't think the polish cuts the glass at all it just removes what ever is stuck on the surface.

My bad, the post was here: http://www.meguiarsonline.com/forums...3&postcount=13

I mis-read it. He simply was saying glass is porous lol

That makes sense then. I think I'll try this on my shower's sliding glass door. It's got horrible water etchings!

I've used M105 and M205 with polishing pads on the rotary.

The finish after using M105 was pretty good, but not 100%. M205 left the surface perfect.

M04 worked well for me using the rotary and by hand. Doing it by hand will take a bit longer. Add a pea sized amount to your mf and buff away.

Re: What is safe on glass?

I still don't have a DA or Rotarty atm, so i will be doing this by hand. My question now is what should i use? A foam pad? MF pad....im stuck

I use #4 by hand. I start out with a foam applicator pad. If that does not work, I switch to a terry cloth towel.
