I used plain old Windex to clean the glass with paper towels and the car looks great! Anyone else use Turtle Wax ICE?

Hi Amtrak!
Just to let you know, cleaners such as Windex are great window cleaners, but the downside is that it dries out the rubber along your windows. Products such as Stoners Invisible Glass cleaner is wonderful and is made to be used on automotive glass and window tint. When using Stoners ($3) and a microfiber cloth ($1 @ wal mart) it creates amazing results. Hope that helps

I just dont want your window seals drying out prematurely.

I use ICE on my car. I don't think it is so much a wax as it is a polish, but I could be totally wrong.

The shine looks awesome but with florida's rainy weather in the summer, it really only shines great for a week or so.

03 sleeper-

You have GOT to get another camera! It's as though it has a blue filter over the lens and makes your car look a different color than it really is. Actually, none of the colors look right.

Yeah, I know......easy for me to say right? No disrespect meant but all pictures here and on other forums just make your car look awful and I know that's not the case.

Thanks for the info, I'll have to pick up some of that product. I'm not too worried about the window seals, this was the first time I ever cleaned the windows and the following day, we got an inch of rain, thus rendering my hard work as just about useless! BUMMER!!! On the other hand though, the water beads up really nice on the car when it's wet!

Amtrak-

The salesman who sold me the car told me only use liquid waxes on the paint.

By the way.....that is total crap.

Currently I am using Meguiars Car Wax...but i was wondering if anyone has done some testing with these..and what wax's give the best shine... also what kind of tire shine does anyone use...I usually use a spray on black magic but it doesnt tend to last very long and it also splashes up on the car if its fresh and leaves spots in the paint. Just looking for some input thanks all!
