True! I just used glass wool on my front windshield to remove small debri. It really cleaned it well. It goes in this order Wash-Claybar-wash-dry-steelwool-clean-rainx(or equivalent). Hope this clears the doubts for someone who is reading this.
@@chascline8024 thank god I'm not alone with this, I've always done it wet and throw away the steel wool later anyway, I don't reuse it as I assume it got all contaminants stuck onto it
I'm always amazed that 0000 steel wool doesn't scratch windows, but it doesn't. If you do have scratches you want to get rid of, you'd use cerium oxide: www.amazon.com/dp/B07WHMFN7B/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_apa_gl_i_EV950MMPS5Q3M48XRJ0T?linkCode=ml1&tag=joemartinmv01-20
Typically for overspray I would start with a graffiti remover if it's bad: amzn.to/3NvlDr4 Then move on to a clay bar and assess from there. If it's on glass, you can just use a razorblade to scrape it off. If it's on paint you can use a plastic razorblade to remove stubborn bits, and then come back with your clay bar and polish afterward.
Steel wool has to be dry. Try this again after you’ve cleaned the window & once it’s dry. You should see a difference & for stubborn scale, may need some elbow grease. Should leave it smooth. Especially on newer cars like yours.
Buddy first of all you dont use anything with the steel wool, secondly you did a window you just polished, thirdly you didnt even clean off the polish you used with the steel wool😂
You're not supposed to add anything, not even water to the steel wool it's supposed to be completely dry.
That's why it didn't work.
Thanks for the heads up. I've always used it in the past with glass polish, but I'll try it again in the near future with dry steel wool.
Works with over spray that way too?

I've been a professional window cleaner for 30 years. we always use steel wool wet to remove hard water.

Thank you for this video. You answered the questions that I had.
Glad I could help out.
I scratched my windshield pretty bad with a green Brillo pad, but the steel wool doesn’t scratch?

Thanks! I got a kit off Amazon, pads and Cerium Oxide,worked well on those shallow marks. Lots of work!
It doesn’t scratch. I use it on Crome too. Amazing results!
Same! I used green scotch brite to remove tint residue on my rear window and left fine scratches. Trying to find a solution
0000 steel wool is more fine
Does it clean over spray?

What is that background noise?
Lots and lots of Florida rain.

I think it's a Bentley Continental GT, which could be as old as 2005.

Thanks for the feedback.
0000 steel wool is a wonderful thing to polish glass and chrome. The trick is to not use any liquid cleaners with it.
@@LucyLusmommy
why no cleaners? I toss it out anyway as it rusts
I been using glass cleaner this whole time 😅
silly, you clean with a squeege not rub.
