As always, thank you for your great video! My simple solution to cleaning auto class is a mixture of about 25% rubbing alcohol to water, then use a clean soft cloth to dry and polish up. It does a great job for me.
I've used several of these and I always find myself coming back to Stoner Invisible Glass. Price to performance it's extremely hard to beat. Thanks for the research Jon!
I'd love to see a dedicated tyre cleaner comparison. They definitely do more than an APC with the almost immediate reaction to tyre bloom, scrubbing the tyres can be absolutely ball busting when they they've been in the sun for years.
Would love for someone to crack the chemistry on these new tire cleaners. I tried armour all's tire cleaner for sh*t's and gigs, and even that sort of blew my mind with how immediate the browning reaction was
A good APC will bloom very well. Personally I use optimum power clean 3:1 on filthy tires and they bloom instantly. A dedicated tyre cleaner is overkill imo.
@@KiranPatel-fk1pg that's what I thought too until I actually tried some. It's cheap enough at $5 a bottle
Make sure to include the Super Clean aerosol
The one window cleaner you don’t review is Sprayway! I buy good quality car products but I just don’t understand spending excessive money on class cleaners. I have tried some of the expensive stuff and I can honestly say Sprayway out performs or is equal too all of them at a very low price point. Plus is is readily available in most stores…My two cents..
Despite exploring the proprietary car brands, I have found that Jangro Glass and Mirror cleaner, works well for me, it is vinegar based so kicks up for a little bit, but total clean of the screen is, wire wool, BH shampoo, Jangro, Shampoo, rinse, then dry.
To be very fair, every car glass spray I’ve used has always worked so well, didn’t know there was loads more that are more effective to clean the glass to the streak free finish we all want
Honestly as long as I use 1 towel for wiping and one for buffing I never have any issues even with Walmart stuff
I don't think there's such a thing as a bad detailing product these days as there is so much competition all the brands have to be on their game, as a detailing enthusiast for many years I just go with what I enjoy using the most. Constantly trying to find the best product can work out incredibly expensive.
I still stand by the fact Stardrops Original All Round Cleaner (concentrate one, orange, but not citrus-based) is one of the best APCs on the market, about £1 for 750ML in high street stores, though seen as low as 79p, and it cleans exceptionally well yet still safe enough to even wash your hands with (I wouldn't do that with G101!). Would love to see it in a test, especially against detailing specific ones to see how it compares.
I use Gyeon Glass, and I'm very happy with its performance and it's easy to wipe over the surface. I've also got their ceramic coating on the windscreen so I don't want to out anything on that might degrade the coating.
i tend to favor the chemical guys stuff for glass. works great, takes almost everything i could want off and i dig that sort of vaguely cinnamon-y smell it has. the only downside for me is that its a touch more expensive than i prefer.
Have you tried the chemical guys ceramic one it's great costs a fortune but I like it
For me, packaging and trigger is not important as I tend to buy in bulk and decant into my own spray bottle. So performance is much more important. I've been using Angelwax vision for a couple of years (yes it stinks), but I have bought 5litres of Nilglass as its just such great value for money and performs really well.
Hi John bought and tried the “Winner” but sorry I thought it was poor I have tried loads of them probably my favorite is Autoglym
Bilt hamber have told me they are looking at possibly making a glass cleaner i hope it becomes a reality!
I would buy it for sure.
And give it an ambiguous name like see auto through cleaner or something
Trace-less
great vid Jon, was all these tested on outside glass ? or both inside and out and was it used on tints ? good job as always 👍
I gotbthe angelwax vision after watching your video few years back , excellent product however that trigger is horrible mytrigger stopped working after a few uses along with my other angelwax product that has same trigger 🤬 great product but terrible trigger ,I just pour it into a spare chemical guys bottle or old turtle wax bottle and its been great
Would love to see you include Optimum Power Clean and Surfex HD in your APC comparison.
Nice video!
cant seem to buy optimum stuff in the UK for love nor money at the moment. I wont put products in unless theirs reliable distribution.
I love that you're out there doing ALL THAT DAMN WORK MATE! Like this has got to be consuming. Lol. I'm American and I said mate. Hopefully it was proper, Any way let's get stuck in because this test is mega 😃😃😃😃
Packaging and trigger i couldn't care less about, It's the product for me.
I bet Gyeon APC, Greenstar and Surfex HD will be in that test! Gtechniq have an APC that is dirt cheap if i remember (or it might be a citrus one).
I have a Gyeon bias too but it is a good glass cleaner. I mostly use a panel wipe type cleaner for cost but love a premium one. I actually hated the Turtlewax trigger - thought it was annoying and encouraged wasted product personally….Maybe a future comparison could be the cleaner + protection glass cleaners?
I love watching these but I always go for cheapest vs best. So what ever works well then use my own bottle hmm think there needs to be a blind test in the same bottle to see which is simply the best of the best. Also mr muscle is great on water spots and mates the car shiny that’s what I use it for when my Koch FSE run out.
Winning comment.
Compare each in the SAME bottle with same trigger.
Then again, mate makes a living on YT so not much to be expected regarding any sense of transparacy...
gtechniq perfect glass is spot on even in heat
other point to make replacement window companies use nilglass as you can use it direct sunlight and if you look at the bottle it's sits nice if you are using it all day,
This is the sort of testing I really enjoy watching. Group testing, knock -out testing would be fun also. Great to see practical notes like dodgy sprayer heads can really effect your enjoyment/user experience, leaking products, and sprayers that don't atomise well really does my head in, I'm glad you covered that as it has to be mentioned- #1 gripe. I've been waiting for this video to come out. I use carpro clarify, which does everything well and like Jon, I'm a detailing brand snob and I'm OK with that. The only thing that could be tweeked is the smell- ripe banana appeals to a small number of people, I think a blueberry or a cool fresh smell would work better as the colour blue and glass are synonymous and would fit better with the brand..
Really liked the user testing and I hope you can stick to it some more in these mega tests for other products. I highly value your opinions Jon and having the extra user opinions is so valuable too, to me at least, to see what people are liking on top of your analysis.
This must have taken you forever to put this comparison together, thank you!
You can get just under 19 liters for 26 dollars US for P&S True View. It is sold RTU and also in the concentrated gallon jug which you dilute 4:1 ratio for a total of 5 gallons. Or 19 liters. So it ends up about $1.40 per liter after mixing. That is extreme value versus ready to use products. CarPro Clarify in the US is close to 24 Dollars a liter.
Good video as always .. Although personally when it comes to glass I think autosmart is hard to beat.
Great review. Been using Nilco for a long time as I noticed professional/trade glaziers use it. 5l for £13.40 which works out at £2.68 a ltr, bargain.
Great vid John, I saw a video demonstrating a mixture of - water/white vinegar/rubbing alcohol/corn starch, leaves a streak free finish every time. Might whiff a bit but gonna give it a go.
I tend to shy away from expensive glass cleaners, because i spend quite a lot of the product even doing one car.
So one day i tried ValetPRO glass cleaner and it worked good so i continue using it.
Or i buy the cheapest one i can find, use it to get most of the dirt off and then use a reasonable amount of S99 Glaco to get rid of some smearing and of course make the glass pretty hydrophobic.
After a wash a glass cleaner isn't needed. I always use distilled water in a spray bottle to eliminate any lingering streaks or spots. Leaves the glass perfect!
P&s tru view is truly under rated! It works amazing and in Canada I can get a gallon of concentrate for 25$ cad (15pounds) and it can be diluted 1:10!!! Bought a gallon and been using it for the last year only used about a quarter of it
Angelwax products work well, but the smells are always horrible from my experience.
I use turtle 🐢 wax glass cleaner the best I’ve ever used superb.
I'm happy here in Australia we have some brilliant Australian brands like BOWDENS OWN, MIRCH and NV.
It's the so called lint free rags that send me crazy when cleaning windows.
I'm using Bowden's Naked glass ATM. Excellent stuff at a good price.
Bowden's own will cause fogging
@@ilikechickensausages2075 never seen that.
@@sunilraj7692 it can cause fogging, won't defiantly cause it
some have had issues but BO won't confirm these complaints
Few comments here Jon, as I know you've been working hard on this set of videos:
1. You mentioned Stoners just doesn't "feel" like a professional detailing product. I agree with you. That said, it's so cheap for us here across the pond, if you look closely, you almost always see it in somebody's collection regardless of all the brands they like.
2. Regarding the P&S, again, I think this is another across the pond issue. A lot of us that like P&S products, buy in bulk, so their crappy bottles are irrelevant. The price for P&S here is probably similar to what you see on Bilt Hamber stuff if not better. It's ridiculously cheap for a professional detail lineup, but the stuff just works.
3. I have a handful of Koch products myself, so it was no surprise to see it perform so well. We pay a premium over here for their stuff, but for the enthusiast their products simply perform. Like you know if you buy something Koch, it's going to do what it says on the bottle without hassle. Definitely too expensive on most things for professional detailers running a business, but man, at home they are great.
4. Super Clean or we riot for sure.
yer P&S was a good one, but it simply didnt get picked because of the trigger. which I think highlights that you need to put good triggers on it. beadmaker has good trigger, they could just use that trigger.
@@ForensicDetailing I've not noticed any different triggers on any of my P&S bottles. Is it a completely different trigger, or any chance you just got a crappy one?
APC testing, I already know Jon will be adding Bilt Hamber to the line up, so I won't mention it 😉
I wish you could get some Griot's products, they are based in Seattle, and are available in most auto parts stores on the West Coast of the USA, I have never been disappointed with any of their products!
Honest to god I learned to use water and it actually works very well. JoshV taught me that lol.
I enjoyed this John. Especially the end 😂 You said it really, I think a lot like you I would rather go with branded car cleaners that I like rather than something that won on points 😂
Autobrite Direct Crystal is £4.50 from Euro Car Parts, that makes it seriously affordable! I bought some to try out, comparing to Stoners (which is brilliant stuff)
I've never found the need for glass cleaners. I just keep a spray bottle with car wash soap and water, two towels for cleaning and final buff. But, I might try one out just for my curiosity
Great review Jon. Love your tests and appreciate the effort you put in. It’ll all break down to brand preference I suppose. I like and use the AG Fast Glass and Angelwax Vision. Both very effective but I agree about the triggers. I’ve ordered Nilco to try it out …. And I bought a VAX Duo last week too. Your costing me a fortune 😏🤓
Invisible Glass is real popular here in the states. It just works and being a budget brand you can use it very liberally without worry. I do like the top tier brand but when it come to glass cleaner, im not shelling out 20 bucks for a little bottle.
I'm liking Ethos ceramic glass cleaner. Cleans and protects, nice and slick.
Wash mist isnt a glass cleaner.
Packaging on the Meguiar's is brilliant though and it smells soooo good
I'd love to hear your thought on the different products without taking the price into account.
Maybe at the end. Sort of like "this was the best, however, it can't match the others on value".
Hi from advice u gave me to remove old wax and ceramic coating. Was to machine polish well I thought I would compound first then plush . Well wen I was compound img i started to get loads off compound in little bits ie pin head bits if that makes sense should I use water bottle wen I compound thanks Steve sorry to bother u
A great acid test for glass cleaner is cleaning a Macbook/Laptop screen. I was using 'Stoners Invisible Glass' but it streaked. I have now discovered 'House Mate Mirror and Glass Cleaner' which is only £4 and i believe it will beat anything. ;-)
You should try Endust
I used to swear by Meguiar's, but now I use Griots, followed by Chemical Guys, then Adams in that order, if I am concerned about price then I will go for Turtle Was products - I am talking here about the quality of the brands in general, not the glass cleaners per ca, I have a Concours winning car. last painted in 1996/7, so I am vert fussy about what products I use on it,
I've just started using ONR as a glass cleaner, seems very good but I haven't used it enough to give a proper opinion
After the surprise performance of the Stoners product, it would be interesting to see a larger brand review to see it they are maybe better than the reputation they have.
Koch Chemie tends tends to be more expensive in US unfortunately but remains popular Jon.
1. Koch-Chemie Gs (Green Star)
2. Carpro Multi-X
3. Purple Power
Great review mate. Seems like the p&s tru vue got a bit of a bad rap due to the sprayer. I know not everyone does this but personally no matter what glass cleaner I buy it goes into my IK bottle with tolco sprayer so the bottle is irrelavant to me. But agree with you, why not just use the trigger from the beadmaker bottle🤷🏼♂️😂will try the koch next as curretly using stoners👍🏽
Waste of money car windscreen stuff elbow grease window cleaner £1. No smears so clean my wife actually thought she had left the window open. I find Meguires smears hard to get off.
I think the Turtle Wax Mist worth it just for that fantastic trigger i want to add to my wishlists. I tried the Stoner Wash and Repel and has been a very good cleaner (still have to try repellency). And got the Clarify Carpro (still have to test it). Still wondering if to apply or not Glaco roll on to the windshield but I know your answer is YES cause i saw your video
I've been using nilglas since you done a review of it ages ago Jon. I cannot fault it I think I got a 5ltr for about £12 from amazon. I was going to to try invisible glass but the price point for me.
Sprayway glass cleaner is great and super cheap here in the States. About $3 for a huge bottle.
Autoglym fast glass almost always only a few quid at my local Halfords, works a treat for me
I agree, can't beat the TW bottle. If they sold just the bottle I'd buy a few for sure 😅
Pick up the same bottle they use from ebay
Meguiars deserves to be last here. It was the worst glass cleaner I’ve ever used. Couldn’t cut through grime, didn’t stay on the glass too runny. Didn’t leave a streak free finish. Most expensive in my region too. Autoglym is great, but the bottle and trigger could be better. Currently on CarPro Clarify. Very happy with it. CarPro glass towel is amazing, has a sponge inside ensures even pressure and great mopping up ability. Never ever had it leave streaks.
great video . thanks a lot . look forward to the next
What flavor cough drop?
ricola :) swiss
APC testing sounds great, could you tell us the PH value when you test them please 👍
found nilco good but not as good as 3m or power maxed. just replaced the nilco with car chem.
Used car chem last week. I was impressed, better than Fast glass IMO. I suspect it was in the test under another label.
G101 APC please
Is there a glass cleaner with optical fillers that can temporarily hide minor imperfections in the glass?
33:14 MUST haves: Koch Chemie GreenStar, Bilt Hamber SurfexHD !
Need a review on Metal polishes and alloy wheel polishing tools, mops, cones etc for split rims lacquered and un Lacquered alloy and multi spoke wheels etc 👍🏻
Britemax twins will serve you really well. I did a mega test on metal polishes with pro detailers mag
Only because I use it but any reason why the garage therapy one wasn't in the test?
Which is better gyeon wax or turtle wax hybrid solutions ceramic graphene paste wax?
Thanks for the video.
Is there any chance that you can make a video of rain repellent/glass seals?
Yes
I use mirror image car care si02 glass cleaner and it’s amazing as with all of their products!!!
Please could you try my own blend Jon, just to compare.
30% the cheapest pure white vinegar you can buy so it has no perfume or anything else in (I buy mine from B&M for 79p for 750ml), mixed with 70% distilled water (deionised water), which I can get for about £3 for 5 litres.
A typical sprayer bottle full stands me at about 50p.
At that concentration, there is no smell, and so long as you have a fine mist hand trigger, it is as good as anything else.
I would tweak that. I would go 25% IPA, 5% vinegar, 1% surfex HD rest water. you do need surfactant and solvent i think nik.
@@ForensicDetailing Yes Jon, that would make it better, but also a lot more expensive matey.
For the money, my blend is the cheapest but most effective for the price I think :-)
The best is stipt glass cleaner
All these cleaners did for me was leave a chemical film on the glass. Using chemical free distilled water works better for me. Leaves no smell or chemical residue.
Are Greenstar and Surfex HD not technically All Purpose Degreasers?👍🏻
I used Koch FSE on my glass. Unreal
No Dooka??
But is the Nilco better than your own recipe (Distilled water 75%
Iso propanol alcohol 23%
Surfex HD 2%)?
Yes
@@ForensicDetailingreally? Blimey! 👍👍
Literally just use onr and works well
I like these kinda vids😊
hi
What about your homebrew glass cleaner
Hi me again wat is the best alloy wheel cleaner to use as I have new wheels. At moment I have to take them of to clean them just was wondering if there was a product I could use so I don’t need to remove wheels cheers
BiltHamber make the best wheel cleaner
Sad to see Sonax is not there.
Is Nilco safe for glass coatings like G5?
What's the best glass cleaner for value and can be easily bought in the united states?
prolly stoners is a good shout.
John the mist is an apc not a glass cleaner so it won't do well?
says its a glass cleaner alan. you sure there isnt a mist interior cleaner as well?
www.turtlewax.co.uk/products/hs-streak-free-mist-car-glass-cleaner-inside-out
Hi is the nilco safe for tinted windows
I’ve tried absolutely loads of glass cleaners but they all seem to leave a greasy looking smear when sun light hits the glass. Why is this!!! It’s driving me nuts
its either surfactant residue from the product or from the screen wash. sometimes glass poish is required.
But i do understand what this channel is about (: i like it
Can someone help me please. It's driving me mad. I have changed my wiper blades 3 times, tried different brands each time, I have changed the wiper arm and still I get a spider web effect on the down stroke of the driver's wiper blade. I have tried vinegar, I have tried loads of glass cleaner, I have tried glass polish, I have tried turps, I've tried claybaring,. In fact I've tried just about everything to stop this annoying smearing from taking place. The only step I've not done is replace the windscreen. Can anyone suggest what the hell is causing it please. When I've given the glass a good clean it's ok for about the first 4 or 5 wipes then it's back again.
spiders web effect or like tiny thin lines like leopards skin. Thats usually a glass sealant where its starting to fail. Smearing is simply residues and grease/water/surfactant making a smear.
Get Glaco compound to properly clean the glass and use Glaco ultra sealant and you should be good clean the wipe blades are well.
@@ForensicDetailing
Brilliant. Thank you for replying. I will give that a go. Much appreciated for the reply.
You ever actually throw darts at that board?
180 ;)
Anywhoo, don't care about 'triggers/packaging' , as it's just that.
I have my own bottles and triggers.
I want a glass cleaner that works.
All the rest BS is 'Marketing'...
Invisible Glass is ALL I use.
What do you think about sonax glass cleaner?
All good m8
@@ForensicDetailing thanks jon, keep success for your channel jon 🤟
Are they all tint safe?
they dont all specify so its really hard to say. sorry
Ok you confused the hell out of me at the end when you said: "I won't keep the NIL GLASS CLEANER, even though its the BEST" .. what ?!? WTF?? if it's the best why did it not win? why did you dismiss it? at least make sense man.
It won. If that's dismissal then I'm not sure what to do.
Is turtal wax mist same as TW clearvue
no idea mate.
1st from 🇨🇦
Jesus, give the Mr muscle to your wife Jon for the house. if I was a patreon I'd be gutted if that turned up in the post 😆😆
