Auto Glyme Vinyl and Rubber treatment

[tedfred]

Dear All,

I would like to recommend the above product. I used it two days ago to clean my dashboard and I have to say what a spectacular job it does of fogging up the interior of the windscreen. Nothing I have tried can get the streaks and smears of the glass. Anyone who has a passion for viewing the road through streaks and smears should buy this product ASAP, its fabulous stuff.
I am reluctant to go a purchase Auto Glym's window cleaner as God knows what it will do to the dashboard!
Can anyone suggest the Mother of all glass cleaners, please note; I am talking about the interior of the windscreen.

Your comments will be greatly appreciated.

Regards Tedfred

Personally I just use a dry couple of microfiber towels, just keep going at it until its finally clear

Some diluted IPA solution should get if off, I would suspect.

My current favourite glass cleaner is Anglewax Vision - although it does smell a little bit of urine

Dear All.
I did not expect to hear of dry micro fibre cloths, but I will try that first, though do not hold out much hope judging by past experience. Dilute IPA sounds like a good weapon , that will be my next attempt.
Based on what Binnedit says about Angle wax, I think I might have a cheaper alternative?
I will let you know how I get on .thanks for your comment.
Best regards
Tedfred .

If you get really stuck ring autoglym they have a helpline .
Next time spray on to the cloth first to keep it away from the screen

Other option is good old washing up liquid and vinegar, not enough to soak the screen but should shift things

Best i can tell you is this - Astonish and its not from the auto shop . But the local store price £1 a spray . The wife was a a cleaner for most of her life . And for the windows she used nothing else . I have to purchase this Astonish a dozen bottles at a time from ebay. Its what i use to clean the windows of my car .

Better get some nitrile gloves, then

Thanks Again for your responses,

I will look out for a bottle of "Astonish" and try that out.

As for vinegar and newspaper, I used to use this method until the print from the news paper stained the roof lining of my VW Polo. I have never been able to remove this stain and each attempt just makes the stain larger. So now I never clean anything with news paper.

Thanks as always for your response.

No not using newspaper just the microfiber towel still

 

[tedfred]

Forgive me V6Matty,

I misunderstood, I will try the microfibre towel method again.

Thanks you

Maybe a piece of green kitchen cleaning cloth (the soft scourers )
Maybe some meths or white spirit if it didn't work dry .

Next time you want to clean your dash board use a nice clean damp cloth...with nothing added.

Steel wool will shift it.

Dear vtaylor78

I have difficulty accepting the concept of cleaning windscreens/glass with wire wool. Surely the cleaning agent will not be held by the wool and surely the result will be a scratched windscreen?

I used the back of a washing up sponge with a plastic like rough back to remove some sticky tape residue from my rear screen and it scratched that. I won't do that again !
