Last week before I clayed my 993 I was reading about clay on the Meguiars site and they mentioned that their clay was good for use on windshields.

I have a pick-up with a new replacement windshield that I can't get completely clean (Some kind of oily haze) and thought I might give it a try.

It makes sense that if the clay won't scratch paint it would be fine on glass but I don't want to get into a cluster f**k.

Anyone ever clayed a windshield?

I have not but you might try some fine steel wool or a good cleaner like Invisible Glass.

I've used glass polish to remove haze. Worked great. I wouldn't use a really abrasive clay, but a mild one should work fine.

Definitely not the steel wool of any fineness. BTDT.

fwiw: i clay it when i do the cars... does a very nice job, then i clean & occasionally apply the 'rain guard' stuff. nuttin' betta imho.

& yeah... i'd save the steel wool for a troll's *** imho.

Ive used steel wool very successfully to remove hard water spots and other various scum. As long as its fine, it should not be a problem.

fwiw: i use polish for hard water, etc. i don't do metal on smooth car surfaces (wood projects yeah). 2each their own i guess.

Using clay is very beneficial for windshields. Have no hesitency and just follow the directions. I don't know about oily haze, but for general scratches and little dinks it works fine. I do mine once a year.

I wouldn't use anything but a good glass polish to remove stubborn mineral deposits etc. Griot's
Garage (no affiliation) makes a good one. I'm sure there are others.

Use clay on my DD (S4) with no problems.

I have also used #0000 steel wool to remove old and baked-on water deposits on my car's side glass. Spraying the window with Invisible Glass helps as a cleaner/lubricant. I tried this method on a small area at first, and was pleased with the results.

My method: Clay bar then window cleaner then rain-x

Save the Clay bar for cleaning the painted surfaces of the car. I like to use Soft Scrub bathroom cleanser for cleaning the glass of the oily film that seems to be prevailent. The mild abrasives are safe and recommended for acrylic bath tubs and the bit of detergent cuts the grease.

+1 Clay +soapy water works fine on glass. Though I like the softscrub idea.
