Cleaning the #@*! windows...

The 997 side windows use a very special treated glass. I wonder if that is causing the problem?
I would imagine that any special coating would be on the inside of the glass or between the layers in laminated safety glass.
I have a Porsche internal document that describes the glass treatement in some detail. If I recall correctly, it's only the side glass. I'm about to get on a plane so I'll post it when I get home from this business trip later tonight.
Anyone else aware of this?

Got some papers? ... Oh yeah, papers. I actually, uhm, get my industrial strength paper towels elsewhere. But no, I wouldn't laugh at buying at Costco. I'm all for saving a buck or two, ahem. ... Actually Costco has pretty good MF towels. Bought a pack of 18 of those yellow kind for about 50 cents a towel. They're really plush. And they're the right blend 70/30, Polyester/Polyamide.

Amusing?..., that's wonderful. I'm glad you're enjoying my posts.
Don't be embarassed, it's _OK_ to be amused!

So the problem with most of the products listed here, is the fact that they are liquids, and are hence prone to leaving smears on the glass, whether you use paper or MF.
There is a pro window polish, that goes on as a cream, almost like a wax, and then sets up to be polished off as a dry residue.
No streaks what so ever - and a great clean shine.
It's made by Autoglym
More details HERE
Once you've tried it - you wonder why people bother with all the sprays, wipes and liquids.

Thanks Chris for suggesting that. Never heard of such a product before, but I've heard of Auto Glym. Really like their "tyre dressing."
How well does it work on the inside glass with the "residue" that must be wiped off? Does it get all over the dash, for example, or are you able to capture the residue with the towel you use to wipe it off?

I suggest you re-read the posts here, especially #4, 9, and #29, by a resident professional.

I'm sorry, but what is it that you see that we're not seeing?
