Phil, I know it been hot as heck but please...no pictures with snow in the background! haha nice job! sharp m3
Hey Phil quick questions, do you just use regular clay to clay the windows? because I tried it on my windows and really couldn't see a difference before and after so should I be using a window specific clay like the Griots Garage one? What do you use to seal the windows, some sort of water repelent? Also my front windshield has mark's/ scratches/ smears whatever from the wipers, would that mean that I need to use some glass polish on it?
gti... I use regular clay on the glass, you really won't see a difference it would just be smoother. as for the sealant you can use Aquartz or Adam's Glass Sealant. You can try to polish out your glass it should help but if its pitted and scratch it may not come out.
Great Job Phil, with all those washes does that back road ice up real bad, that snow seems all to close as we're already reaching august, why does the nice weather fly by
