Hello,I have used this Auto Glym glass polish and had powder residue while cleaning the windows,I have added water to the polish and it makes cleaning alot easier.great video.
Good vid Jon, don’t do what I did and use rupes blue compound and pad ended up with fine scratches all over the screen. Classic case of a little knowledge being dangerous. Got some pink glass polish which got most of it out.
I'm a fan of the AG glass polish. I think i only paid £3.30 for 325ml bottle. It's just one of those products that sits on the shelf for months & months gathering dust, then works well when you grab it. As for the white streaking, i'm wondering if it has something to do with the screenwash you've recently switched to? Is it just the front and rear screens, not the side windows? My 7:1 diluted Angelwax Clarity screenwash leaves a whitish residue on the glass if it dries outside of the swept area of the wiper blades and can trickle down the glass afterwards in streaks, so i've switched to AG Ultimate Screenwash which is slightly cheaper than Angelwax's screenwash.
Jon, I am going to buy a Flex PXE 80, and also the AS additional bits when they are all available, but as a belt and braces option would you say the Flexible shaft option is worth purchasing also or is this just something that really is not worth the additional expense..... Pete
I was using the 3mm throw with the 3" plate polishing glass and it stalled applying almost no pressure & battery fully charged. any idea what's going on here? Thank you.
@@forensicunplugged4295 ah okay 👍. I was thinking of machine polishing my cars glass. It has factory rear tints so don't know the concept if its a film over the glass or some other method
umranhu if its neglected long time, clean it first with your glass cleaner , clay it and then clean it with ipa. Ready to go. Either way you will be fine. I never used polisher on glass and i make windscreens crystal clear with not so much effort at all
The scum is prob leftovers from the spray sealants 😂 again I get these a lot, especially when the car has been to a cheap ass car wash with hot wax stuff, IPA wipe normally takes it off 👍
Jon, do you ever use Rain-X or anything like that? It seemed to work fairly well on my car but I was wondering what the alternatives are and if a paint sealant or spray wax would be better. Or worse!
@@forensicunplugged4295 yes I do seem to recall you saying that in one of your vids. So just nice clean glass and blades then. I think I will do myself a JD type comparison test this autumn!
@@maxburg4817 yo max no, its no where near as powerfull as the XFE 7-12 mini DA. It just cant be its like half the weight and thinner and smaller. but for a nano polisher its good good grunt.
Jon, would the Glass polish take away "ghost" smears from things like Gyeon Wet coat that I find pull along with the wiper even after I dry it and leave it cure?
Jon, I have message for you from my wife, she is a bit angry to you, I sold my corded Fxe 7-15, corded Fxe 7-12 and ibrid because want upgrade to cordless Xfe and pxe, only waiting for some deal
Never done this before. So im kinda scared to use my machine polisher on the windows. Does anyone have any experience with this that knows what Kind of pads that fits the job best? Soft, medium or hard pads? Also foam, wool or microfiber pads? Im thankfull for any tips and advice☺️
yes mate. I actually just sprayed it down with soft 99 glass cleaning gel and cleaned it that way after. you dont need to you can just wipe down really but dunno bit of glass cleaner or IPA wipedown always works
Great stuff, nice to see Car Glass Polish being put to good use.
80 inch pad for when you need to detail at Boeing 747

Car pro Ceri-glass polish with a rayon pad is the perfect combo for glass polishing! 👍🏻
Proof that a small tool can be effective.
I use my Rupes 75e all the time on the screen (when I find the time to plug it in!)
Can never get glass 100% wonderd what I could try ,thanks jon
Hi john just bought a cordless Milwaukee polisher really good value
All in about £260
Can’t wait to give it a go
let me know what your think.. I hear it looses torque as the battery drains.. can you tell me if it does?
Forensic Unplugged yes absolutely merry Christmas
80 inch pad 🤣 long day John?
Love the content keep up the good work 👍🏻
:) lucky I didnt go with the 1inch pad
Good vid Jon, don’t do what I did and use rupes blue compound and pad ended up with fine scratches all over the screen. Classic case of a little knowledge being dangerous. Got some pink glass polish which got most of it out.
I used megs wash plus and DA6 to do my windscreen the other day, that worked well
Makita dpo600z for force rotation- cheaper than flex and it could take dewalt batteries + flex pxe 80,best combo for a money
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
If you want to really deep clean your glass, then a Brillo Pad is fantastic.

Hi Jon, sorry if I missed it, did you use the rotary or DA attachment to polish the glass.
DA m8
Jon, just got the idea if you could try Bilt Hamber clay on this glass as a weekly remedy in between polishing.
Great video....also thanks...i found way to buy pro detailers magazine shippid to.my country.....i wait the issue 10 with the results
Nice one Jon👍

imo no mate that flex shaft too expensive.

John, I think I've also seen you use the Flex 3 inch corded polisher....in your opinion, can this cordless micro correct as good as the corded one?
yo its not as powerfull as the 3 inch corded.. but for its size its really good still.
@@forensicunplugged4295 thank you my brother
I always wanted to know from you how to machine polish glass 😊. Probably need a dedicated glass pad
@@forensicunplugged4295 ah okay 👍. I was thinking of machine polishing my cars glass. It has factory rear tints so don't know the concept if its a film over the glass or some other method
Forensic Unplugged that’s exactly how to do it 👍
Use a 75mm Polishing Ball in a cordless drill, much cheaper !
The US versions of the pxe80 don't include the sweet case. Can you show the inside of the case?
Is it worth claying windscreen before using the polish or even using a magic sponge to deep clean beforehand ?

no mate I dont like to use anything on the glass.
@@forensicunplugged4295 yes I do seem to recall you saying that in one of your vids. So just nice clean glass and blades then. I think I will do myself a JD type comparison test this autumn!
I’m really coming round to this tool. Do you honestly think it’s as powerful as a corded version.
there is no corded version of it MAx
Forensic Unplugged sorry Jon, I meant versus a 3” corded version.
@@maxburg4817 yo max no, its no where near as powerfull as the XFE 7-12 mini DA. It just cant be its like half the weight and thinner and smaller. but for a nano polisher its good good grunt.
Forensic Unplugged I really need to try one... love the idea of no cords/leads...
I’m curious to know if the rotary tool fits the 3” backing plate ?
No
@@samuelarambula2884 thanks I got a aftermarket plate that fits
You'd need to polish the camera lens mate ;-)
Jon, would the Glass polish take away "ghost" smears from things like Gyeon Wet coat that I find pull along with the wiper even after I dry it and leave it cure?
Why not a bigger machine with a bigger pad?
Hi john it's my birthday coming up and gf wants buy me present. Would this polisher be big enough for entire car.
How did your bday present go, did she buy you the polisher? Please provide a full report of all the festivities
Jon, I have message for you from my wife, she is a bit angry to you, I sold my corded Fxe 7-15, corded Fxe 7-12 and ibrid because want upgrade to cordless Xfe and pxe, only waiting for some deal
im kind of in the same boat. I want a deal on the XFE cordless :)
What about XCE with positive-action drive? did you hear about her?
Never done this before. So im kinda scared to use my machine polisher on the windows. Does anyone have any experience with this that knows what Kind of pads that fits the job best? Soft, medium or hard pads? Also foam, wool or microfiber pads? Im thankfull for any tips and advice☺️
Search for Rayon Pads 👍🏻
I doesn’t remove scratches does it?
You can remove light scratches like from wipers but it takes time and no free spinning machine.
What type of pad please?
Use a micro fiber cutting fir glass vkean8ng
@@forensicunplugged4295 Thanks
Can u help me with something ?
i find those Chinese cheap pads cannot handle high speeds on a DA. Anyone else have this issue with them?
@1:49 😂
Would you IPA the glass after using that polish, or do you not need to with that stuff?
yes mate. I actually just sprayed it down with soft 99 glass cleaning gel and cleaned it that way after. you dont need to you can just wipe down really but dunno bit of glass cleaner or IPA wipedown always works
90 inch pad 😅
Its best practice to store battery's with a full charge to extend their life as much as possible etc.....etc...
False
Better to leave it half charged. Extended time at full charge shortens lithium ion life
