Maybe some of you knew this, but I never heard of it - Until now.
I was trying to locate a friend on FaceBook. It is good for some things, just very rarely.
This was one.
There was a guy proposing to clean the windshield with steel wool....
I thought - Gee, Glass is harder than steel, I should try this.
Before we depart on any serious excursion, I clean the coach. Weather has not been right to do the painted sides, but I still did vacuum the carpet and was getting ready to clean and Rain-X the spinnaker size windshield. It is always a task and it can't be done (conventionally) if the sun is on the windshield because it will dry the glass cleaner too fast.
Here was my opportunity, the hard part was finding the 0X4 steel wool that I knew we had. I did, and it was an old ratty pad, but I tried it anyway.
WOW - The windshields cleaned right up. All the splattered bugs came off with very little work. I could actually feel the glass getting cleaner.
The glass looked great even before I did the Rain-x.
The only real problem is that the inside of the windshields looks pretty cruddy. I used to be able to get by just cleaning the outside.

Now I have been told be another that this was a secret that auto-detailers use to get the glass looking factory clean.
