[drpaulmarsh]

What's your favorite window cleaner (especially if you have tinted windows...)

What's your favorite wax?

What's your favorite clay?

Where did you purchase them?

Thanks :notworthy:

No tinted windows, but I use the stoner window cleaner, from pep boys....

As for wax, that's a very interesting topic....(I have midnight blue)

I use 2 coats of rejex(bought it online from mfr) as a base, then I use zymol(the real stuff) to take out any light scratches, if that doesn't work then I use 3m stuff(depending on the scratch, I might use scratch and swirl remover or light compound). I tried the blue tinted turtle wax(same as sonax), it worked great, but could got blue everywhere(i.e. clothes, sunroof trim).

On the rejex front, it's a polymer that needs to setup between coats, I even use it on the glass and the rims, and it makes it very difficult for dirt and bird droppings to stick.

On my orient red boxster, I used zymol or meguires gold class, while gold class looked great, it had nothing to remove light scratches and only lasted a few weeks.

For cleaners and waxes, the best I have found are by Griots: http://www.griotsgarage.com/index.jsp

The window cleaner is second to none! The more of their products that I buy the more I like them... my 2c's.

;) Thanks for the input... I'll pick up some Rejex online and try that. I have to figure out where to get some clay as well. Unfortunately due to CA Law they won't sell me the window cleaner from Griot's...

Any other ideas?

I have to figure out where to get some clay as well.

Believe it or not I found clay bars at Orchard Supply Hardware. And, less expensive than online shops!

Groit's window cleaner wipes do an excellent job of cleaning, and you don't get any over spray on your leather dash, door panels, etc. (BTW, I live in CA and they shipped them to me):

Griot's lint free windshield towels are the best:

One Grand Blitz is the best carnauba wax I've used (easiest application/removal and best durability):

I've been using Clay Magic on my cars for years:

:( Called Griots and they stopped shipping to CA 6 months ago... I guess too much Alcohol in their window cleaning products... Is it really worth the double S/H if I have them shipped to a friend out of state and then they inturn ship them to me?

If so, bang for buck Wipes or Spray/cloths?

i like the Stoner's invisible glass believe it or not...tried the zymol glas too but was not too impressed

I buy the Stoner window cleaner directly from Stoner by the case (12 cans) for $30. that is half price from buying it a single can at retail.

I do not use Wax, but use Rejex as the top coat.

I have been using Sprayway after reading Guru Reports window cleaning guide. It is safe for tinted windows (I found mine at Ace Hardware). I really like my microfiber towels for cleaning windows.

They have information on waxes and window cleaners and tire/wheel care.
