just bought my Expy from a local Used Car dealership last Friday that i'm really pleased w/. oh how i missed sitting high & being able to stretch my legs out. anyway, when i picked her up that evening, she was shining, & the inside was so clean, the 5 sec rule wouldn't be needed. however i noticed that they got carless when it came to cleaning the dash. :buttkick: apparently they used a spray applicator to apply the Armour All, or whatever they used for the dash. well now i'm gonna have to remove the residue that's on the inside of the windshield. does anybody have any recommendations to remove this before i start using the Rejax (thanks BakerEdition)

Auto window cleaner works better than household windex. Use terry towels instead of paper towels. One to clean, another to dry. This worked good for me when I got armor all on the windows and also for tobbacco residue.

First detail boss taught me the best think for windows was clean water and a clean dry towel, yes, Terry cloth.

1994-2012 of all the cleaners I used, dipping a towel in the extractor clean side, and then polishing clean with a dry towel/using a chamois then polishing clean with a dry towel remain my favorite methods. Used them all. Vinegar and water, to the aerosol foamy BS....

A good glass cleaner or a 50/50 mix of rubbing alcohol should be able to remove any coating on the glass. Check out our Detailing Guide for Glass Care if you have any other questions or let me know. Good luck!

Greg @ DI

Will the 50/50 alcohol /water solution remove the last of the wax pen writing on the outside of my rear tinted windows from the kid that sold me the truck...
