Re: IML: Whats the best way to clean inside of windshield

[Brad Hogg <luxoliner@xxxxxxx>]

Someone mentioned steel wool.  00 or 000 steel wool will NOT harm tempered 
glass.  Do not use it on mirrors or other non-tempered glass but it works 
wonders on windshields etc.  Steel wool is also great for polishing up dirty 
or corroded chrome, stainless and brass.  When I paint a car, all glass and 
bright work gets a thorough going over with 00 or 000 steel wool before 
reainstallation.

SOS is good and it includes some soap but it is a little more course than 00 
and 000 steel wool.

Steel wool will also start fires.  This is good if you carry a bat of steel 
wool and a 9V battery in separate containers when you go camping etc but it 
is not so good when you are naking sparks in the shop with your grinder or 
welder.  It will smoulder for a long time so IMO it is best kept in a sealed 
container in the shop.

I have found that when all else fails, take a wet, and I do mean WET SOS
pad with soap in it, and scrub the glass.  Make sure that it does not get
dry enough to scratch the glass.  The you can wipe go back with the wimpy
stuff and finish the job.  Back in the "old days", ther was some stuff
called "GLASS WAX".  It was like diluted rubbing compound.  It was real
good for getting crap off glass, too.  I can't recall the last time I saw
any.
