+1.

Anyone who likes stoners should try lusso glass polish, I used to use stoners and think it was great but not anymore (thanks to Phil).

 

Using Lusso to clean glass in a detail shop is a waste in my opinion. There is no way I would spend $10 for 8oz. of already diluted glass cleaner. I would go broke. If I cannot get 10 gallons out of $20-25, then I won't buy it.
