Sonax Glass Polish<\/a> is a product that holds most of its value in deep efficient cleaning of automotive glass.<\/p>\nProducts like these often not only carry some mild polishing abrasives (like regular polishes), but also have cleaners that more effectively (eliminate polish lubricants) make wipe off easier but also have cleaners tailor made for bonded contamination.<\/p>\n
Just like clay, a glass polish can address problems (especially windshield) that traditional washing cannot.<\/p>\n
Normally for a complete and thorough prep of automotive glass, I would recommend a clay and polish.\u00a0 Picking one, I would say a minimum of clay.\u00a0 If it is a dedicated glass polish, I could make the case of going straight to a glass polish if I had to pick one or the other.\u00a0 The reason being a glass polish has dedicated cleaners with polishing abrasives that provide a comprehensive cleaning of the glass.\u00a0 The products are tailored made for removing bonded road\/environmental film and light waterspots that become stuck to glass.<\/p>\n
One of the first of many vehicles I evaluated this product on was a truck, that has seen few washes and all of its time outdoors.<\/p>\n
First application slightly heavy application.<\/p>\n

Working in circular strokes for about 10 seconds I worked the product in with my working area being half of a windshield.<\/p>\n

Second application I used this much.<\/p>\n

With half of the windshield per application, using this amount, the ease of removal with a microfiber towel was apparent.\u00a0 It was such a breeze to use, that I consider it a good multi monthly secondary step window cleaning option.<\/p>\n
Below is a description of the dirt that came off of the windshield after washing the car.\u00a0 It speaks to one of the reasons why you may struggle cleaning glass on a neglected vehicle.\u00a0 A thorough effort with a good glass cleaner may have addressed this.\u00a0 A good effort with a clay bar likely would have addressed it.\u00a0 There is also a chance a clay bar may struggle or need work with road film on windshields.\u00a0 Smearing grime is the source of many detailers frustration with cleaning glass.<\/p>\n

Although I moderately worked it in by hand, machine polishing application is an option.\u00a0 Machine polishing would be necessary for very minor scratch removal or removing severe water spots.\u00a0 Although by hand with moderate effort, this glass cleaned up incredibly well.<\/p>\n
