How to remove Armor All Glass Cleaner from Windows?
 
I just bought the Armor All Glass Cleaner wipes and applied them to the windows. This stuff sucks because it actually made the windows worse. Also, there are tiny white spots from the wipes on the windows. Does anyone have a suggestion of how to remove this without washing the entire car? What is the best stuff to use to clean the windows to make them spotless?

are you kidding me... you are trying to avoid washing the car... the time it took you to post this and wait for a response the car could be washed already...

next... I would recommend Stoner Invisible Glass... good for exterior and interior and safe for tint...

Invisible Glass is awesome. Wash the car or claybar the windows.

whatever u do- DON'T use a razor blade... try what the guys said above and/ or

(1) Spray Away (from Costco or Wallmart)
(2) Zaino Glass cleaner

Spray Away is basically commercial-grade glass auto cleaner. it's strong, but it won't damage your windows.

Zaino is for those really tough to clean residues, and it contains a very tiny, trace amount of abrasive to get rid of those nasty spots that won't come out. i've used it on my 8 and it works nicely.

hope this helps.

Muratic acid

vinegar and water solution works good on water spots too just my guess

WoodsOfGreenRx8 07-15-2007 05:37 PM

& why not wash the car?

eagle 1 20/20 is the best I've used, stoners good too... or maybe I just like the name..

Yeah the ArmorAll Glass Cleaner sucks hardcore. Got a um "Gift Set" of the crap for christmas and used it recently. Left streaks that I could only see at night when the light was shinning down on it. Needless to say my rear view at times was useless. When I got home I just got a sponge used some water then used the glass cleaner spray I bought awhile back and they are fine now. Not sure what shyt ArmorAll use's for the wipes but yeah they suck and should be recalled.

Armor All Sucks

I've accumilated some splotchey $#it on my glass as well. Strange, kind of like a textured clear coat if that make any sense. I had not thought about the wipes issue as a possible cause. Glad a friend pointed me to this thread. I have also used RainX and the glass was waxed one time. I will try some of these ideas for stripping the crud and see how it works. Oh, the wipes I used were not Armorall but Windex.

I did try to take it off using no-run windex cleaner. Didn't help.

Personally I now stay away from ALL armor all products...minus their multipurpose foam cleaner which worked well for carpet stains, but I digress.

The glass wipes leave residue and streaks and lint all over, the cleaning wipes are so harsh they remove the "paint" of names from switches and displays. Haven't found any good replacements yet though...

+1.

Try Stoners Invisible glass. Try using a microfiber cloth and it works great.

Armor all sucks big time.

I use Eagle 1 20/20 , couple bucks. clean the window nicely.

bruce_van 09-19-2007 02:04 AM

I personally stay away from anything that has Amor All written on it.

AcidAngel7477 09-19-2007 07:16 PM

i like motul's stuff myself..but for the po boy i would use windex...after all it is glass cleaner.

:AA:

Denatured alcohol - strips everything off of glass. Careful around rubber, just pour on a rag and hit it!
