View Full Version : Turbo Shine as a glass cleaner....

This weekend I threw out all of my glass cleaners. Last week I did my car, this weekend two Hondas and all three gave me trouble with the glass. I used 2 different glass cleaners and both left streaks and smudges. I'm very picky about glass and spend too much time trying to clean it. Anyway, I detailed my car, went for a ride that night, noticed streaks. I came home and tried to get rid of them with just a dry / clean microfiber. Nothing. Then a dry clean microfiber and some glass cleaner. Just moved the streaks around. Then I reached for my Turbo Shine, I use it on my motorcycle helmet and visor all of the time, it's the only thing I use on it because it leaves it crystal clear and never a streak, but for some reason I always reach for glass cleaners for the cars. The Turbo Shine cleaned the smudges and left the glass perfect without streaks, and I did not have to work at it for 30 minutes. Same thing with the two Accords I had to do this weekend. I had to do those in the sun so the window cleaners where drying too fast. Grabbed the Turbo Shine and windows came out perfect without hassle.

I've always said Turbo Shine was good for glass but I never really stressed how good it is on glass. For those of you with Turbo Shine I want you to give it a try on the interior and exterior glass next time and see what you think. When the new labels come in for Turbo Shine they will say "Quick Detailer and Glass Cleaner", that's how confident I am in this product as a glass cleaner as well as a quick detailer.

It doesn't really add much as far as protection goes to do that. BUT a lot of people spray it on after washing to help dry their vehicles. It helps fight water spots really well.

Keep us posted. I have a detail to do Friday. If the glass is bad and will show up on a picture I'll try and grab some before and after pics.

Thanks Bob --yah i am with u---- seems that glass cleaner leaves smudges that I can see wehn humid or in the AM etc..... find the best is just the car wash (I use Ultima wash)

I use Sonus glass cleaner very sparingly only when i have too --rather use the wash... and a MF with some for the inside too.

Next time i order, will give it a try... thanks again!

Yeah, I've been fighting glass for years and for some goofy reason always use the Turbo Shine on my motorcycle windscreens and helmet shield and just go brain dead when it comes to using it on the car.

That detail I had was not bad enough to show on camera. I'll keep trying though.

I do it that way and then just shoot a quick spray on the inside glass and wipe. I think it cleans glass well for a qd and smells nice too :D
