Sealants tend to cause less smearing and streaks on glass than waxes and also tend to last longer. However, it will depend on specific wax or sealant and if it has be formulated to work on glass as well as paint. Clay bars can be used on glass to remove contaminants such as dried bugs, bird poo, water spots and tree sap to leave the surface smooth and flat.

Remember to use plenty of lubrication in the form of a car shampoo or clay lube and make sure the clay is clean. Check out this guide to using clay on glass safely to get the best results. Microfiber towels are best for glass compared to cotton because they are more effective at cleaning, and less likely to cause streaks. Choose a low-pile microfiber or waffle weave stitch instead of a plush towel to avoid leaving fibres behind on the glass after wiping.

Thanks for reading! I first became interested in car detailing around 3 years ago and learnt all the main techniques on my very first car. I spend a lot of time detailing my current car, and trying to keep my family's cars looking presentable too! Snow foam is one of the most popular types of car detailing products, and it's use to help remove and soften as much dirt on the car prior to the contact wash to help reduce the risk of scratches and It can be difficult to know what kind of wax to use when applying it to different parts of the car other than typical body panels.

For glass, almost any wax should be applicable with varying results. The trick is finding which wax will give you the best results and the easiest application. We recommend you go with either a liquid or paste wax for the most amount of control. Many spray-on waxes can be used on windows, but they are more difficult to control in order to avoid applying the wax to other parts around the window. With paste or liquid waxes, however, you can apply them directly to the applicator so you aren't getting the wax on unintended parts.

For the specific wax, this may require a little bit of trial and error if you don't have your own preference ahead of time. For any wax you want to try, choose a small spot on a window as a test bed. This will allow you to see how difficult the wax is to apply or buff out on the surface. You can also try other glass surfaces other than your car. It will also keep your windshield wipers working without a squeak.

Allow your car to dry completely before applying wax. Use a clean, soft washcloth to buff the windows dry and remove swirl marks from your cleaning session before putting wax onto them. You can choose from either liquid wax or paste wax. Enjoyed this post? Sign up for our newsletter to receive more valuable tips, ideas, coupons, and extras! Originally Posted by Murr Jun 1st, , AM 7.
