NXT Glass Cleaner; a DIFFERENT kind of glass cleaner!
Not different because it's not a light clear liquid (it is). But it has certain properties that work very much to its advantage to make it a "better" glass cleaner.
I used a thin-nap mf towel ("suede") for this test rather than the new Meg's glass towel, because I didn't have a clean glass towel.
NXT Glass cleaner smells like QD with a little bit of alcohol in it. What makes it different is that it holds a lot of dirt and bug guts relative to the volume of liquid, it lingers on the windshield long enough to spread and clean, and then it evaporates quickly and cleanly. Most popular glass cleaners, especially the aerosols like Invisible Glass and the home products like Windex, evaporate very quickly. An automotive glass cleaner is usually used on dirtier surfaces and on insect remains. The challenge is to get a cleaner that stays liquid long enough to dissolve the bugs, but then evaporates cleanly.
The temperature was mid 50s, a problematic temperature for a glass cleaner because most of them don't evaporate well at lower temps. I did 3 windshields. The first two were "spring bugs" (large insects) and "highway bugs" (lots of small, highly spattered insects). The third was "no washer fluid for a month". In each case, the glass cleaner dissolved bugs and removed dirt without streaking, then wiped clean and evaporated without leaving marks or residue. I'd say that the temperature was a non-issue.
I would also guess that this glass cleaner is VOC compliant, which means that in the long run it will help protect the environment and leave a better world for our children. Good stuff!

Can't find it. Hopefully will eventually become more widely available.
It looks like this season they want to focus on this new Vroom brand. Bad move if you ask me.
