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!!!!
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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). 👍
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.
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?
The Chevy and Chrysler dealerships use fine #0000 steel wool in their detail Departments instead of clay. is steel wool just as good as claybar in your opinion?
yes steel wool is an option for many, I'm not a fan because they shed and you have little pieces of metal all over the place..i just stick to the clay bar
+BadRonald1 I'm a drummer and professional detailer and never thought of putting two and two to clean my cymbals lol now the question is what is the best clay to cymbals
No. The inside is not exposed to harsh environments and debris and chemicals etc. like the outside is. Glass cleaner should be more than enough on the inside. And don’t forget tint is on the inside as well, so use a compatible cleaner
well i would start with a product called citrol 266 (could be hard to find) but checkout amazon..after that i would try a clay bar..if those two options don't remove the acid rain stains than i would try to polish them off..you can try putting a compound on a microfiber towel and work over the stains and see if you can remove them..if not you will probably need to use a machine (dual action polisher) with a compound and medium cutting pad...hope that helps my friend:)
Dallas Paint Correction & Auto Detailing I got a spray can today of the citrol 266 it didn't work the clay bar smoothed out the roughness and make it about 10 Percent better and then I used the buffer and tryed the no 7 rubbing compound and Turtle Wax rubbing compound then rubbing polish all together it made the rain stains less noticeable but still there is there any other good rubbing compound or Polish that works better
Dallas Paint Correction & Auto Detailing I found some stuff on Amazon I was wondering if you have ever tryed it www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0007IJR1I/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
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. 👍🙂
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.
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 .
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?
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.
I have questions. I carry my ladder in my dully an I have scratch my outside windows with the ladder how can I remove that??? It's not like a scratch into the glass more like the paint from the ladder scratch the class. Any ideas how to remove
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
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.
I'm no specialist and I could be wrong here.. but I suspect this guy is trying to overdeliver, stand out from the competition and he's not worried about the plastic trim.
If client is paying for window polish im not doing this and if they want their glass perfect its going to be with a real polisher it doesn't take much longer to do than this method but the results are way better doing it the right way. Now if it's a free gift to my customer to spruce up their windows yes this is fine. But you can't do this way n say.. "I polished the glass, that'll be an extra 50$" that won't fly
Information is good when you finally show us. Video is 10:14 long with about 9:00 of talking. Talk as you work would shortened the video and take less time for us to learn.
i understand Sandy but your forgetting that many who watch me are trying to get into the business and want more details..many of my videos are business geared and how the product works..plus when i make a video just showing the product and how it works without any info, i get tons of emails asking me why i like it and why over other products..so it can be a little difficult to please everyone but i do the best i can:)..thanks for watching but if your just looking for a drive-thru experience without any info than perhaps I'm not the channel for you but I'm grateful for your comment and viewing...take care Sandy and much love
I enjoyed it - good for improving my english! Great video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! btw. how can you clean the inside of this window to make it perfect like the outside? any suggestions? thanks!
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?
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.
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.
What is the best way to clean the inside of the windows, especially the windshield? No matter how much I try, I can't seem to get the grime off and just spread it around.
Ian Champion Because now it would be super clean and clear. Insides sometimes have fog stain, polising it and adding protectant would make it super clear. I have done it and from the inside, it looks like there is no glass between you and the outside 😱
Your videos are awesome. Thanks for making them. I was wondering how to clean the inside of the window if it has tint on it. If there are things you should never use.
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.
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
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
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.
i would use a magic eraser for the inside glass with a glass cleaner or APC if it was really dirty...if it has factory tint its ok to use magic eraser but for aftermarket film tint i would use caution..i have never used a clay bar for inside glass or i should say very often
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!!!!!!!!!!!!
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?
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
will this work for spider webbing or micro scratches in my new trucks windshield?
Scott’s been over-delivering to his customers and not overthinking the moment since 1969.
Fantastic. I retired and started detailing some on the side. I always enjoy over delivering to the customer
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
Scott you not only over deliver to your customers, but you also over explain. You’re very passionate, nothing wrong with that. Thanks.

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.

how long does the wax last for in the flitz polish? can you put megs x wax over it when it fades off?
Any tips to remove some scrathes on the car window?i just descoverd some scraches!!
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?
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

Mark H the good
Great video. Do you clay the front glass on the inside aswell to achieve the same result you get on the outside?
No. The inside is not exposed to harsh environments and debris and chemicals etc. like the outside is. Glass cleaner should be more than enough on the inside. And don’t forget tint is on the inside as well, so use a compatible cleaner

Scott I love this method and products used. I am from Grenada in the Caribbean.

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. 👍🙂
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?
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.

Is the clay bar really necessary if you are going to polish it anyways?
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.
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 !!
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 .
How do you clean tint windows, inside? Plastic Crome?
Can you use a foam pad with this polish?
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?
Would a "magic eraser" work as well as the clay?
No. A clay bar polishes the surface and takes any imperfections out for a smooth flat surface.
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.
Just got my flitz and polisher work great thanks bro
where you get it?
where do you get this polish and polish ball?
I have questions. I carry my ladder in my dully an I have scratch my outside windows with the ladder how can I remove that??? It's not like a scratch into the glass more like the paint from the ladder scratch the class. Any ideas how to remove
can a clay mitt be used on the glass?
why not lower the window and do the top
Cool. What if wanted to hit it with a da thou Scott ? Whose pads and what compound ?
Is there another polishing ball that's better for windshield? Forgot to ask
GREAT !! So are most of the scratches on the outside or inside of the window ???
outside
Thank you so much. Been wondering on how to polish glass without all the regular specialty compounds and equipment. Much appreciated.
Will any chrome polish work?
I've watched a few of your videos on glass, but I haven't seen you do the inside of the window. Especially with window tint.
Is your polishing ball 5 or 7 inches in diameter?
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't put a price on great customer service. Awesome work! 😎
Do you have any open appointments on Thursday?
And i assume this will help the windows going up & down nice & smooth?
Um. Nope.
You need a spray oil like wd40 that is designed to stick.
Yes but spraying silicone into rubbers and felts will keep it lubricated and smooth
Do you use this on the windshield as well, Scott? If no, what do you use instead? Thanks.
sure..it can be used on any outside glass surface
Thanks, Scott

How do you clean black trim?
Thanks
Can you get that flintz polish at o'Reilly's, And does this process helps with minor scratches from wipers?
Great tip Scott! Thanks for sharing it!
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

btw. how can you clean the inside of this window to make it perfect like the outside? any suggestions?
thanks!
Sandy Lister if he wanted any of your lip he'd wipe it off his zipper.
Get to the point
You dont have to watch the video, .....dam ppl complain about shit they can control....just forward the video.
do you do that for the inside as well or do you have a different method for tinted windows?
Does that have Cerium Oxide??? And what size ball is that???
Can you use this method on the rear window with automatic defroster wires on it?
Defrost wires are never on the outside. Either on the inside, or between layers of glass
Will this remove scratches from a windshield wiper blade
How much correction did that do, it would have been nice to see it actually remove something as that's glass looked spotless before?
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?
I have some fitz but the ball buff I have is a foam ball. Will that work?
Would this remove the windshield lines left from the wipers? Thanks
Yes
@@ma-um7kg thanks!
How much would you charge if customer asked only to do the windows
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.
Will this eliminate micro scratches on the glass?
Can this be done with tinted windows? if not what do you suggest?
Robert Edwards he did it on a tinted window
Would this prep suffice for ceramic application?
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.
Great video. Thank you for the info... With an older window I highly recommend doing this process before any Window Tint application.
What is the best way to clean the inside of the windows, especially the windshield? No matter how much I try, I can't seem to get the grime off and just spread it around.
elbow grease ..keep wiping with cloth and it will eventually vanish
Is that tinted? Does it work on tint?
What about the inside glass? Can you do the same as in this video or will it damage any tinting?
Robert Jensen Why would you want to polish the inside?
Ian Champion Because now it would be super clean and clear. Insides sometimes have fog stain, polising it and adding protectant would make it super clear. I have done it and from the inside, it looks like there is no glass between you and the outside 😱
EL EVO Damn Imma have to try that then
Will this remove scratches in the glass?
Your videos are awesome. Thanks for making them. I was wondering how to clean the inside of the window if it has tint on it. If there are things you should never use.
Vinegar water is great. Even glass cleaner works well. Just stay away from anything with ammonia in it
How do you get the marks off if you get polisher on the black molding
Silcone spray on a rag
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
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
What do you recommend for cleaning the inside of tinted windows with window film.
You can't use anything abrasive on window tint at all
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
Scott where do you get a glass cutting pad?
Tom Sommer lake country sells a glass cutting pad. Carpro also sells a dedicated glass polish
Scott I got the weirdest problem ever I got my side mirror scratched the one to look back from outside how would I polish that ?
Any tips on polishing the inside of the window that has film tint?
well i need to know..is it OEM tint or aftermarket tint?
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
do you claybar the inside also, or just the exterior?
i would use a magic eraser for the inside glass with a glass cleaner or APC if it was really dirty...if it has factory tint its ok to use magic eraser but for aftermarket film tint i would use caution..i have never used a clay bar for inside glass or i should say very often
That method erase hard water spots ?
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!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where to buy clay? What are they call on the package?
i buy Clay Magic clay bars...you can find it on amazon
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?
Can you use a paint clay bar on glass? Do you have to have a glass clay bar?
Same clay. He just uses that one on glass only.
