I have had great success with Invisible Glass Cleaner for years, nothing works as quickly & without leaving streaks, haven't had anything work as good & I've been detailing my vehicles since 1980.
vinniecorleone62 I have only found one glass cleaner better than Invisible Glass. 3M glass cleaner in the spray can. It’s almost the same but slightly better that said irks not worth $10 to $12 when you get three cans of Invisible Glass for that price, and Invisible Glass is 95% as good. Best foaming glass cleaner is SprayWay, but it needs Invisible Glass or 3M to finish perfect.
I found this at Dollar General as I needed something to clean my huge bathroom mirror. I had been using Windex and it was streaking like crazy. So I tried it and ever since, no streaks and the mirror is staying much cleaner for a longer time. I even used it to clean the sink and it does work great. I love it.
Have noticed the Invisible Glass in spray can seems to work better than Invisible Glass pump spray bottle. I've found one has to wipe Invisible Glass off quickly before it dries, as if it dries too soon it will leave streaks and residue spots.
I think it is one of the best products out there.. Not everyone wants to detail their car everyday.. But this product comes in handy just about anytime you want to clean the windows..
Don't forget. Ammonia eats window tint. So never, ever use an ammonia based window cleaner on the interior glass. Invisible Glass does not contain Ammonia. That's why detailers should have it in their kits. Thumbs up for the video.
I have used this and love it. I perfer this product better than windex. I have been looking to fine this product in the grocery stores but have not found it. I see that I might find this at walmart, so next time I'm there i will check.
In order to get the streak free and haze free ... first you use aerosol glass cleaner . Dry completely and come back with a liquid glass but just a fine mist ... and buff off A great combo . That i use is from Chemical guys Glass cleaner aerosol and streak free liquid glass cleaner ...
It’s a finisher not a heavy duty cleaner. You should use dawn soap and water to clean really nasty gunk and grease, then finish it with invisible glass for a perfect streak free finish.
I like invisible glass, but don’t love it. It flashes way too fast in any kind of sun or warm windshield situation. I do occasionally use IG or Sprayway. I also get good results with waterless wash concentrates mixed as quick detailers, the surfactants do their job, while the water doesn’t flash as fast as alcohol (or solvent?) based cleaners.
Interesting. Have you tried a paint prep with magic eraser? Use two or three towels. If there is anything left I love to foam with invisible glass but I prefer to spray into my towel....unfortunately, invisible glass seems to work best when foamed on glass not toe
Any tips on how to clean Invisible glass clean and repell off your windows? It's good at repelling water but fogs up super easy and as soon as your windows get dusty any attempt at cleaning them on the go just smears the dirt. I've tried cleaning it off with normal window cleaner, pressure cleaner, isoprolene.... Once it's on it seems you are stuck with it.
Just cleaned the interior windshield, haven’t tried driving with it yet but hopefully it’s good. Just make sure to wear some sort of mask cause you shouldn’t inhale any of it
I have this weird looking film on some parts of my windsheild, its hard to explain, but i can see it, lools like grease or dirt but doesnt come off.... more on the center of my winsshield. would this help remove?
Best thing to use is a magic eraser and 70 percent isopropyl alcohol. You can use a stronger cleaner for the initial wipe with the magic eraser but the ipa is great with a proper microfiber towel foe the final passes
Besides forming, how is this product different from normal everyday blue coloured glass cleaner? Do you recommend cleaning automobile glass with a clay bar and just plain water?
Outside glass...clay and soap is better. Water is a little too tacky. But you can't mess anything up, at all, by even grinding clay into a windshield lol. I would recommend something like a spray detailer. Rinseless wash product. Or soap ... as lube. Inside windshields? Magic eraser, high quality waffle weave microfiber towels...and glass cleaner of your choice. Follow up with an isopropyl alcohol wipe down...take 70 percent from your store and mix it with distilled water in a bottle. Use that and towel, maybe magic eraser if you need it. To fight streaks
I make my own glass cleaner with three ingredients plus water: isopropyl alcohol, 2-butoxyethanol (also known as butyl cellosolve), and a tiny amount of surfactant. Costs around a dollar per gallon and works great IMO.
@@HawkProDetailing I actually did some research via poring through a number of Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and found the first two chemicals to be fairly common. I experimented with the concentrations and- although not 100% perfect (no solution can claim such anyway)- essentially hit it on the second try. The tiny amount of surfactant is to improve the solution's wetting properties.
@@bradxvIII Sure. Use 70% isopropanol (IPA) and 2-butoxyethanol (also known as butyl cellosolve or ethylene glycol monobutyl ether) at a 3:1 ratio, along with one drop per quart of surfactant such as Tergitol NP-9 or Triton X-100. Example to make one quart (946ml) of solution: Isopropanol 70% solution: 1.5 ounces or 45ml 2-butoxyethanol: 0.5 ounces or 15ml One drop of surfactant. To make one quart (946ml) of concentrate use 24 ounces (710ml) of 70% IPA and 8 ounces (237ml) of 2-butoxyethanol, and 16 drops of surfactant. This will make four gallons of solution diluted 1:15.
DID YOU GET THE PRODUCT FOR FREE FROM INVISIBLE GLASS AND WERE YOU PAID BY INVISIBLE GLASS? WHICH PRODUCT IS BETTER INVISIBLE GLASS AEROSOL OR SPRAY TRIGGER INVISIBLE GLASS?
Old school detailer from back in the 80s. I still use Newspaper today. Especially on interior windows. Always Always Always wipe fast. Nothing beats elbow grease and newspaper.
I said a while back you should be a speaker of some sort. You said you had some other things going on other than detailing. I think you should do an "about you" video. 😁
@@hanzohattorri2471 I recommend using water spot remover from p&s. Spray and let it sit for 30 seconds to a minute. Don’t let it dry. Gently, rub product in with a microfiber towel and rinse thoroughly. I do this when I get customers with water spots even on paint.
@@Tallnerdyguy Ummm, other televisions still exist Smart Guy and he wasn't specific. So either just answer the question or keep moving. The extra wasn't necessary.
Glass cleaners themselves are fine you can honestly achieve a clean window with just wanted and good technique but if I’m cleaning class I use this in a spray bottle never have streaks
A&A Professional Services uses a bucket of water and dawn soap with a damp towel to do windows (2 towel method of course.) I can't wait to try it out this season. If it cleans without visible residue, it would be a dream just to take a damp towel and go over the windows then buff clean. Maybe give it a shot? :) I've also seen this done with a bucket of 50/50 IPA and distilled water. I'm sure that would work, but its a little less convenient.
It is great on exteriors. My bar is always .... how does it perform on interior windshield glass. It has a place in that process for sure but still required lots of redundancy and technique and even then I wasnt overly excited. Part of me doesnt want the foam to hit other parts of the interior...which is why I mentioned the towel on the dash
I love that product but that can design is dangerous as it is super slippery. That is their new design too. I’m discarding it and getting a replacement before an accident happens.
I just used it on my Tahoe and it ruined my tint! I tried everything to remove it but nothing worked. Made the windows look awful! Can barely see out of them now!! Will never use it again. 🤬
It’s terrible on tinted windows. When I wipe it off, it’s leaving almost like a glue residue. I ended up using Warm wet rag to get the stuff off. But in window and mirrors works great!
Ima just be honest here, I heard bout the invisible glass thing from undertale and those posts Toby made and the 1st result when typing "invisible glass" in TH-cam, so yea that's why I'm here rn
The only way that I am using my bottle of Invisible glass is to get rid of it, ONR works so much better in my world. Invisible glass can be a little grabby for me, ONR isn't as grabby.
I haven't tested Invisible Glass in the middle of summer in direct sunlight...but I think it's pretty good stuff based on some of my winter testing. I'm still a fan of paint prep but who knows...maybe it just comes down to technique:)
I like Invisible Glass and use it every day I work (only 4 days a week now, I'm 'retired' :) I drive vans to deliver parts to auto part retailer satellite stores from the retailer (supply) hubs. Your point about it drying out quickly in the summer sun, is correct. I try to pull my van into the shade on hot summer days, it buys me a few extra seconds. I prefer Invisible Glass to a Windex product, because it does leave fewer streaks, but if you get a streak, just spray a little more on that area and hit it again. It's not rocket science, and it's not labor intensive, like trying to mix some rocket fuel glass cleaner of your own design. The sun makes things hot, liquids evaporate, water leaves streaks, it (LG) works better than any other readily available glass cleaner I've seen (not that I've tried them all, I haven't). My problem, is I can't open the stupid cap on the spray bottle to consolidate small amounts into a single container without a pair of vise-grips. What is that about?
I just Want clean the glass not strip it down to hard glass every time. If you're going that route..stoners glass stripper is better than a paint prep imo
Its not bad the way I described. I enjoy foam in certain situations...however I don't (and have not had) invisible glass for at least a year. *could* I detail a car with it? Sure
@@HawkProDetailing MY BAD ! I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE ! Locked out and can't delete the comment. I learned later that heat from storing it in the vehicle ruined it. Had to, because i gave it another try with a fresh bottle and it did a good job.
There is *no* amonia in Invisible Glass, just to clear up any confusion.

If your rags or towels have residual soap detergents in them from cleaning them then yes they will leave streaks.

Use different towels or sometimes you might have to use IPA
Paint prep. Magic eraser. Finish with bead maker or any spray wax. Yet that invisible glass reach tool is nice for final buff on tight to reach spots.
For sure. Spray wax on interior glass too?
