Found a Product that Cleans Windshield!!

[jerseyguy123]

I used a product that I have at home. It is called CLR for Calcium Lime and Rust removal. I had used it in my bathroom and
I figured, why not? The results are amazing. Let me know guys and be safe

What are “we” supposed to let you know?

Did you have water spots on the glass? I could see it being useful in that case (and if plain vinegar wasn't strong enough) but that stuff is pretty harsh to breathe in.. would be hesitant to use it regularly.

I don’t know how safe it would be on your paint.

How did you apply it to the windshield? Spray bottle or some other method? Was it full strength or diluted with water.

Unless you can't get the windshield clean with other stuff like vinegar mixed with Isopropyl alcohol and water in a bottle, I would not use CLR.

I am sure that stuff will play havoc on your clearcoat and trim.

The stuff is good but I wouldn’t use it near a car.

That's what I was thinking, I think I will pass on that and use windex.

Windex and a little elbow grease (during bug season) has worked great for me.

Little less elbow grease.

@AutoMechanic what's funny?

Scrub Daddy sponges are what I use for bugs.

The name is really funny. I honestly thought they were for dishes or something.

Why not? Maybe because it's highly corrosive?

He laughs at everything

Draino for cleaning cooling system while we're working with bathroom cleaners?

Daily shower spray for your paint after it rains?

Odor control for your ... wait that one can work fine. Ok you can use that.

glass cleaner...

A regular one or specifically made for cars? I really need to know

The best stuff to really clean windshields is Glass Science glass scrub. It gets the road grime and embedded residue off of glass. It's also mirror safe. Clr seems a little off unless there was mineral buildup. I've detailed many vehicles and it seems to give glass that extra cleanliness.

Specifically 3D Super Glass mixed to the recommended ratio with distilled water.

It's actually the only glass cleaner I use. If glass is really grimy, I'll mix in about 5% isopropyl.

There are glass waxes that are appropriate for cars that will do the same, I think. They get rid of the water spots and are more easily controlled than a spray liquid for kitchen and bath room cleaning.

Sprayway for the win, though. Even better than brand name window cleaners like Windex.
