Meguiars Waxes do amazing stuff to cars but I still cant find anything that will clean my windscreen without the first sign of rain making it hazy or smearing.

Oh and they smell great......Mmmmmm Meguiars

Best method I've found so far on glass is to give it a good wash with a good quality shampoo, then I use a Turtle Wax glass polish. I normally hate Turtle Wax products, but these seems to give pretty good results and can be used on windscreens as well as just side windows. The only drawback is that it can leave wide residue on window rubbers, but Meguiar's trim detailers seem to deal with it!

I use Autoglym Fast Glass on the outside and Autoglym Glass Cream (or whatever its called lol) on the inside, if you do a thorough job then it won't smear.  Smiley  I can never get a good non smear finish on the inside with liquid sprays.  Huh?

With my car i just do the same as Matt..... wash and chamois, but also shampoo most times........ every few weeks it gets a proper polish as well with merguirs and that all keeps (...kept  Sad) the car looking spot on!  Grin I'll just do the same with the Silver one!  Smiley

As for windows, its just wash over with water and chamois to dry them...... any bad marks and out comes the windowlene!!!!  Tongue

Fairy liquid? Can't that cause really bad smearing?

I hope you boys don't go near the bodywork with the leather, have you seen the damage that does  Shocked

but when you use it on a car windscreen, can it not cause the wipers to smear badly? That's what I heard anyway  Undecided
