Scott, dont know if you will ever read this but thank you so much. You're my favorite detailer on TH-cam even though you dont post anymore,. Your methods have been so helpful to me. I hope all is good with you and you're happy. Thanks again!!!!
You have shaped me as a detailer,I’m so glad i came across you. Thank you Scott
I tried it to remove water spots on my back glass. It was the best thing I have ever tried. I spent a lot of money on water spot removal products and this method was the only thing that delivered real results. Thanks for sharing the information.
Fantastic. I retired and started detailing some on the side. I always enjoy over delivering to the customer
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK SCOTT!! All it is is passion coming from your videos, it's sad when people don't have it they tend to hate on those who do. Also it's so EASY TO FASTFORWARD if you don't have the patients. Can't wait for more videos brother! Please please please don't let the negativity hinder you from making more videos.
I saw this video several weeks ago and it was a nightmare to get the fitz and polishing ball, but I finally have it. I will try this myself today. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Thank you very much for this video. Brilliant advice. I've struggled to get my windscreen completely clean. Now I know a quick, easy and effective way to do it. Thanks again. 👍🙂
In a world of sub-mediocre performers, it's so refreshing to hear someone talk about going the extra mile and over delivering. I read a little sign in an ice cream shop many years ago that said. "The way to have a happy customer is simply give them their money's worth" . Thanks for the tips.
Hey WOW ! I watch hours upon hours of TH-cam content when online.This window polish was next level.I observed as you started the polish,there was more clarity to see inside the vehicle and the other side as well.Thanks for walking us through and explaining the content at the risk of giving away business.Cheers from Australia.
Hey Scott! Please ignore all the haters, you're doing a great job keep up the good work. Trust me, there's a reason you have 80k subscribers!! Your glass polishing method is great I'm gonna try it. God bless!
Great thanks !
sir I just came across your videos and I LOVE them. explained perfect. I use to do other type of work But got injured and can no longer perform that type of work. I have always loved cleaning my vehicles that I have been looking at doing others and seeing if I can gather enough to keep me going. and your videos make it a bunch easier to offer things that I know are not available around this area. and even to do it better than anyone else. please keep up the great work and forget the ones that say to much talking. I hope my work turns out half as good as yours but being me I push for perfection and to always be better. thanks again and God bless.
I have been using Flitz on many different things including automotive, for a very long time, and I have never even heard of this. I tried it and my glass looks flawless. TYVM!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve used Flitz polish on my symbols and chrome rims for 30 years now I can use it on my windows who would’ve thought thanks bro !!
Scott’s been over-delivering to his customers and not overthinking the moment since 1969.
Scott you are a genius,I learn a lot from your channel as beginner in detailing field and will start implement yours tips and tricks.thank you to share your knowledge
Bar Keepers Friend has always been my favorite glass polishing item. Mildly abrasive but won't scratch.
Me too
$12 at Walmart use polishing
Will that Bar Keepers Friend work on glass that's really really scratched up.
@@AlanVonGoodleef It will definitely help. If you have a local glass shop, they usually use a felt pad and jewelers rouge to get out the bigger stuff.
My friend has a 90 model Dodge truck that both door glasses are really really scratched.
Great video. I not long ago found out about your channel. Very informative, I've learned a lot. I'll be MORE THAN READY to detail my 1967 Chevelle SS when I get it
Thank you so much. Been wondering on how to polish glass without all the regular specialty compounds and equipment. Much appreciated.
Can't put a price on great customer service. Awesome work! 😎
Great video. Thank you for the info... With an older window I highly recommend doing this process before any Window Tint application.
Thanks for sharing Scott. Question: How effective is the flitz polish used on the windows as a rain repellent vs Rain X and other polishes?
You keep doing it again Scott you're freaking awesome. I love ya bro.
I have learn so much from you. You are a remarkable man sharing your tips and tricks from your profession.
Have you tried the rubbing compound and pumice soap mix and/or cerium oxide powder for glass polish and scratch removal? If so, what are your opinions on their application process and end results?
Just got my flitz and polisher work great thanks bro
where you get it?
Great tip Scott! Thanks for sharing it!
Thanks for the tips Scott, I have a problem with neglected windshield that's marred with hard water spots. I've tried steel wool and chemicals and managed to clean most of them but the result is not as clean and shiny as I hoped and there are still some spots that simply won't budge especially ones located on the corners.
So to recap and make it easier for me to remember, here's my summary on Scott's glass cleaning tips. If there's anything I miss, please let me know. Can't wait for the weekend to try this out.
Materials needed:
- Glass cleaner (regular spray type)
- Clay bar
- Flitz metal polish (paste type)
- Flitz buff ball
- Power drill
- Microfiber towels
Step by step to super clean exterior car glass, including hard water spots, fast and easy:
1. Spray glass cleaner onto glass
2. Spray glass cleaner onto claybar to lube it
3. Clay the glass
4. Wipe glass clean and dry with microfiber towel
5. Put small dabs of Flitz metal polish onto glass
6. Smear the dabs with your finger to even them out
7. Attach Flitz buff ball on your power drill
8. Buff the metal polish evenly across the glass (watch video to see how to buff sideways)
9. Once done, wipe the glass clean with dry microfiber towel
10. It's done, enjoy the shine
Some thoughts:
- I assume any fine metal polish will do since I live overseas and won't be able to get my hands on Flitz metal polish
- I assume liquid type metal polish can be used as well
- The buff ball is another thing I won't be able to get here, I think I'll try using available buff ball here which is a sponge buff ball.
Your videos are very helpful, thanks... I came across some tips on removing hard water spots using bar keepers fiend and I will be trying them soon on my truck since I haven't had any luck removing them. Keep the videos coming for us the D.I.Y.
Awesome video, I'm super OCD about my windows and every tip I've watched from you has been spot on! Thanks Scott keep em coming
This was interesting and nice to watch someone enjoy what they do.
Thanks for the tip. The MSDS for Flitz metal polish shows that it contains 35% aluminum oxide. I've read that aluminum oxide is a cheaper product to polish stones/gems with in a rock tumbler. Cerium oxide (optic grade?) seems to be the go-to product for glass polishing.
I’ve worked in the optics polishing trade for nearly 40 years and you’re right.
The preferred medium is rare Earth due to its molecular construction, especially on softer materials.
Aluminium Oxide has a sharper construction but is also used for high grade optics (mainly infrared).
👍
Scott I love this method and products used. I am from Grenada in the Caribbean.
Hey, Scott! I love your videos. They have been a great help with my personal at home car washing! I’ve never washed as good as I have until watching your channel. I have a question. What’s the best way to get paint, mainly oil based paint, off your window glass?
Good video, love the extra talk and detail
You can also crack the window down to clay and remove those lines on the edge of window so it looks nice and uniformed . Thanks for the videos
Lomas Ticas x
Merci, pour tous vos conseils, ....
Flitz is amazing!
Just found your channel and loving it. Thank you for sharing all the tips and tricks sir.
Great video.
I've always found doing door's windows a PITA with different cleaning stuff for inside and out and rolling the windows up and down multiple times as I do the seals and glass borders.
How do you stage these operations with an inside and out job? Is nthere any residue of the Flitz under the seals?
Great advise!thank you for your time.
You're the best, Scott!
Hi Scott. On my front glass it has alot of scratches from wash drive in. How do you take care of that? Is a glass replacement the only way? Thanks for sharing.
José Campos you can actually buy cutting pads, it looks like sand paper (because it pretty much is). And you can get some non-deep scratches out. Now I wouldn’t go into it without experience with polishing and wet sanding though. If you don’t know what you’re doing you can screw up the glass beyond repair, and you’ll need to buy new glass anyways.
Scott you not only over deliver to your customers, but you also over explain. You’re very passionate, nothing wrong with that. Thanks.
It actually did make a difference really nice looking window
Hi Scott Thank you for this nice tip and demo. Question and request: would this product remove the small streaks / scratches on the side windows? Would you make a video clip on a window s with streaks and use the clay bar and Fliz please?
Also How Fliz is on the paint of the car? Can it be used as a polisher for the faded areas of the paint? Please let me know.
Thank you for all your help and efforts.
Very Good ! Thanks for sharing.
do you do that for the inside as well or do you have a different method for tinted windows?
Excellent tutorial! Thx 🙏
Once again ~ Phenomenal ~ Thank you Scott ;-)
This was incredibly helpful. I have been doing interior details and it is annoying when I kill myself getting the windows clean on the inside only to have them be stained on the outside (I would clean the outsides, but not polish). Now when they get in, they are impressed by how clean and clear the windshield looks and it doesn't cost me a lot of time.
Any tips to remove some scrathes on the car window?i just descoverd some scraches!!
Great video, Thanks
Thank you Scott. I love the details you put into your videos. My wife hears me listening to your video's and says, "are you listening to Howard Stern again". LOL
He does sound like Howard Stern
Nice work!
Thanks for getting straight to the point. LOL!
Fantastic!
Any tips for the removing the scratches from the side car windows?
Please let meknow of some tips. Thanks.
Aldo Biglari glass polish, light cutting pad, and dual action orbital polisher.
why not lower the window and do the top
Thanks - I'd never heard of that polish. FWIW, cerium oxide paste works well even by hand. It is really meant for actual glass *correction* and is most certainly abrasive, but it doesn't leave visible scratches, IMHO. It can be bought as a powder and mixed with water, or as a ready made paste. I learnt about it from a professional glass polisher. Obviously when used by hand it's just a strong cleaner - it's not going to remove scratches.
Greg Sullivan I use it for my watch crystals
Great Tip!!!
great stufff thanks forr sharing
Cool. What if wanted to hit it with a da thou Scott ? Whose pads and what compound ?
What about glass that has some scratches on it, like a wiper blade that might have put some shallow scratches on the glass? Is there an option other than replacing the glass?
Hi Scott, Some how during my maintenance wash last week I managed to put two small 2in scratches in my windshield. You can only see them at night when there is on coming traffic. You can not catch or feel them with your nails so I know there are very light, but they are still annoying as hell. Can you do a video on how to polish out scratches from glass like this, and is it even possible to remove them?
Thanks
How do you clean your ball that you use the flips on when it gets really dirty just throw it in the washing machine or what
great vid im sure thats what everyone wants best results results for the shortest time
How do you clean black trim?
Thanks
Great video, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Great Video......does this work for the inside of the glass as well. Thanks from the Great White North - Canada.
Hello Scott , nice tips . But I have scrape marks because of dust that was stuck between the glass and the felt every time the glass was moved up and down . Could you let me know how to correct that .
what about the inside of the glass, and is that the only polish that they make ?
Sir, I got a Tundra I’ve done a lot of interstate traveling so I’m sure you know my windshield... if I run it through this process will it help? I just tried clay barring a section of it and there’s still water spots.... how would you treat a “dirty windshield)? Does it need to be sealed? *newbie here.... thanks
Can you get that flintz polish at o'Reilly's, And does this process helps with minor scratches from wipers?
Thanks Mate
I have some fitz but the ball buff I have is a foam ball. Will that work?
excellent advice, Scott... That's a fast spinning drill...
Scott, Thanks for the video, can you use the flitz polish on the windshield ?
I bought one of these but when I first used it I get a lot of what looks like little fibers going all over the place. You have that issue to start or not?
Scott, can I use this on the black trim front of the radiator?
Keep up the good work Scott. I appreciate the talking. If people want to complain about how long they then they can make one themselves.
Would this prep suffice for ceramic application?
how long does the wax last for in the flitz polish? can you put megs x wax over it when it fades off?
Will this remove scratches in the glass?
What brand of Clay Bar do you recommend?
Just got my truck back from being painted. And now when it rains my windshield wipers go back and forth I can see that film. Will that clay bar take care of it. I ordered one off eBay. Or will I have to polish the windshield. I just had the windshield replaced. And now it's nasty.
GREAT !! So are most of the scratches on the outside or inside of the window ???
outside
I have a question on how you would polish glass to remove "hard water spots/Acid rain"?? My truck has it horribly. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
i dont remember where i got it but its a hard water spot remover. comes as a paste ( you mix with a small amount of water ) along with a scotch bright kinda thing and it works very very well.
I didnt know that! Thanks!
New to your channel and I must say " I'm liking it " do you have a vid on cleaning headlight lens ? Thanks
I've been using this exact method for months now and have loved the results.
Been using for months on same vehicle?
What do you do for the interior glass mostly the windshield
Please answer this
Glass cleaner lol. I’ve been detailing for 4 years. Never used anything else on the inside unless I was removing old tint. Is there something specific you’re talking about gettin off the glass?
Alcohol water 50/50 with magic eraser then any window cleaner you feel like. It works.
Hello does any wax/ polish work on the windshield ?
I am not a Detailer but I love RainX. Just make sure you apply it with a damp cloth and when it’s time to buff it out, get it all off or you’ll have prism effect when headlights hit it. Regular car wax works also but won’t last quite as long
Another great tip Scott thanks
Would you suggest doing this on a windshield? I know it's a different type of glass then the door windows. Want to make it so vision is as good as possible when driving.
Yes
Will this eliminate micro scratches on the glass?
I do much of the same to get awesome results. What's your thoughts on using an aerosol glad cleaner instead of a spray. Sprayway (just the original blue can) makes an amazing glad cleaner, if you haven't tried it I'd love to get your feedback on it.
You're the man!
thanks Kyle:)...i have used sprayway and i think it works well..i can make a video about it in the future..i do think as i get older and my hands are tired, i love aerosol products!..lol...thanks for the kind words my friend
Thanks Scott , great video
good idea with the clay bar
Hello Scott I’m new to you’re channel , great tip for the glass keep up the great help you are putting out there 🙏🇺🇸
Good stuff.
that window looks fantastic.
