    #4 Heavy Cut Cleaner




    It will work so much better than either of the two product you tried because of the type of diminishing abrasive this product uses. Next time you're around a bottle of #4 Heavy Cut Cleaner, shake up the bottle and pour a little into your fingers and then rub your fingers back and forth. You will easily feel the diminishing abrasives, (if you continue to rub your fingers together your will feel the diminishing abrasives breakdown and disappear).

    Now, feel any of the products in the 80's series, such as the #84 Compound Power Cleaner in the same way and it will feel like you're rubbing a soft, smooth hand lotion between your fingers.

    The difference is the 80's series uses microscopic diminishing abrasives while the traditional Mirror Glaze products use for lack of a better term, macroscopic diminishing abrasives.

    It is this larger size diminishing abrasive particle that cuts, or slices through the film that has built up on the surface of your glass and polishes it off.

    Liquid glass cleaners don't offer this polishing effect. When ever I detail a customers car, I'll almost always machine polish their glass with this system so that the glass is a glossy and shiny as the paint. When you do this and you've detailed the car correctly, the finished look jumps out at you! because everything on the car is gleaming.

    In Oregon and Washington, I ran into a lot of people with horrendous water spots on their glass, as such, I have a lot of experience polishing glass.

      Sorry Mike. I did read the post and searched most others on the subject, but still wasn't sure under which conditions which product was appropriate. I don't have any of them and didn't want to order all three to experiment.

        Not a Meguiars product, but One Grand glass cleaner did miracles on my windows. I had a spot on one window from a drive-through car cleaner (as a result of the "wax" step I believe) that I couldn't get off for the life of me! In addition to that, hard water had left tons of little spots all over the glass. One application of the OG glass cleaner and all spots disappeared! Now I polish my windows atleast once a year to keep the glass crystal clear.
