Default Best product for windows?

I made an order with Rich at PB for some items but me being a numpty forgot to order something to brighten the windows.

I popped to Halfrauds and was goig to buy the Meguiars NXT window cleaner. But the lad there said it was a waste of money and told me to buy there window cloth used with my normal window spray (Windowleen).

What a joker. Its made them worse than good.

Need something for outside and inside. My windows look a mess. I have some AG window polish but not sure if to use it or not.

Hi Steve, can't remember what you have to hand other than the AG product, but Megs NXT is pretty good on windows that aren't too bad to start with; we use it quite often on our contract cars. A good option for more heavily contaminated glass inside and out is Jeffs Werkstatt Prime Acrylic (or even Prime Strong for that matter too) applied using the white side of a German Pad, as it cuts through all kinds of grime very well - in fact I did the glass on my car with it just yesterday!

PS - AG product is okay, but does generate a fair bit of dust, which can be annoying if it drops onto the other interior surfaces.

What about tinted windows?

I've got Megs NXT fast glass, which is great on the windscreen/external glass - but after testing it on a small test patch inside I decided I'd like to keep my tints intact! I'm thankful I was a bit cautious about it and didn't just spray a load on in the middle of the glass!

Megs NXT Generation Glass Cleaner is fine on tints, as is Meguiars Glass Cleaner Concentrate. Definitely best to avoid anything containing abrasives!
