Thumbs up griots window spray

well, i broke down and bought some (1 gallon! ) of the griots window spray b/c the windex just wasn't doing it. and what do you know, it does indeed work better than windex. i can still see some fine spray marks (very very faint) but i think if i had wiped it down w/ a dry cloth, it would have been fine.

i am going to get a micro fiber cloth next time.

Agree on the assessment of Griot's window spray. I also like the cleaning/disposable cloths that come with it. I've bben using Griot's speed shine on my other car -- great at cleaning off birdsh**.

thanks for the tip.

are you implying i should be using the 20/20 on the outside? basically, i wash the car on the outside and when i zaino, i just zaino everything (including the glass).

or are you saying that after i use the griots spray, i should add a coat of polish on the inside w/ the 20/20?

usually no need to polish interior glass, unless some major dirt is on there. I use Eagle 20/20 as a glass cleaner but it also makes the glass bead water very well, not as good as rain x but pretty good. since your windows are zainoed, do not use the 20.20 as it will strip the zaino.
