I had a Model S for six years and I had a disgusting windshield. Tried everything and just pushed around the off gassing residue like you say in the video. A “pro” detailer once tried to clean my windshield with steal wool. It didn’t work. I sold the car 3 months ago with a disgusting internal windshield. I bought a new Model S and after 3 month, same issue came up so I found this video. I was skeptical. I am ecstatic to say YOU ARE THE MAN!!! After years of trying everything, this is the ONLY method that worked like a charm. Best technique ever. Thank you so much!!! If you’ve got off gassing residue on your windshield nothing will work like this method.

Coleton, holy smokes. 10 month old Model 3 owner here. I already had some "Absolute" rinse less wash and only bought the towels, Adam's and the glass cleaner. I followed your technique and I am blown away by the results. Never have I had a windshield this clean and I have driven for 38 years. Thanks so much!

Video we’ve been waiting for. I actually had to have Tesla come out clean the glass in front of the autopilot cameras because they were blurry from all the off gassing. My outside screen almost looks like it’s got a wax layer on the outside. I’m tried absolutely everything and can’t get rid of it. It looks like a layer of the windscreen is damaged. It’s been the same since day one but Tesla wouldn’t swap it. Few others with the same issue

When it rains at night, I could barley see through the streaking from the wipers. RainX wipe-on/buff-off was the only thing that took care of this, but I want to return and do it correctly.

Colton, I tried this and it worked great! Thank you! Question, you don’t use all three steps every time you clean windows do you? Save the glaze for when the build up or deposits get heavy? If the windows don’t have many contaminants, do you just use WW and then the WW / glass cleaner mix? Or just the latter? Or do you always do all three? Thanks!

@kingprone7846
@kingprone7846 5 місяців тому
hes kinda abusing the glaze. the glaze has a solvent inside which is good for fatty deposits. The slickness comes from the glazing itself which isnt actually much use for the cleaniness and does add shine. I dont think it matters THAT much but it could affect the adherence of the tint. Tinting companies would usually use a degreaser etc on the window beforehand. The reason why the glaze method can be better is because it forms a "dust" after it dries which is very easy to wipe off. Degreaser will get everywhere, stain your surrounding trim etc. Also you need to have a certain amount of contact for the degreaser to do its work, so if you spray it on and it drips off it cant do work. Waterspot removers have a similar issue. So this product solves this.... its really not its purpose but its a fairly genuis (ab)use for it.
