one for glass, and the chrome one works great on the kickplates
FWIW I just use normal polish (as in the sort you do the rest of the car with) on mine... means you need the wipers less when it rains too.
E- Cloths.....their great!! Just ask my shiny black kitchen worksurfaces!

Sometimes an old trick is better than a bag full of new...
Wash it with any decent stuff and dry it with crumpled newspaper. Might sound a bit weird, but try it, it works.
Turtle wax window wipes
AutoGlym glass polish

I have not tried it in the car, but I was not impressed with Spontex Window Wonder on the house windows, they were still left smeared and needed a clean with Windowlene afterwards. (so the wife said!..)
For the car, I think Autoglym Fast Glass used with a polishing cloth is better than anything else that I have yet tried.

Cheaper direct rom the manufacturer/importer at m http://www.enviroproducts.co.uk/ (http://www.enviroproducts.co.uk/) m .
They're fantastic things, provided you don't use any chemicals; just plain water, otherwise the microfibre clogs.
I haven't gone to the trouble of actually polishing my glass at any time, but I do Windowlene it with some kitchen roll, which seems to work as well as anything.
Does anyone else get a lot of vertical greasy marks on the inside of the side windows though? Near the windscreen surround. They keep re-appearing when the window is put up and down.. a right PITA! Haven't noticed them on any other car I've owned...

yep, e cloths will sove that.

Great, I'll give them a try!
It's almost as if the window is disappearing into a tub of Vaseline inside the door every time I put it down, with the rubber strip squeegie-ing off the excess! s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

Yes, I've noticed that too. Rainwater seems to get trapped somewhere in the window channel, and doesn't seem to dry out easily.
