Cleaning Exterior Windows

lowercase_s · 09-07-2006, 10:22 PM

Ok fellas, I'm stupid. I'm polyurethaning my cabinets at the house and I'm doing it outside without a paintbooth. As it turns out, atomized polyeurethane really flys with the breeze. It seems my Blazer is a magnet for the stuff. At any rate, I figured out a method for getting it off my paint, but can't for the life of me get all the crap off of my windows. I tried #4 Meguiar's heavy cut cleaner and it seemed to help a little. Does anybody know anything good I can use to get built up crap off of my windows?

not sure... goo-gone? grease lightning?

razor blade

That's what I was thinking C. I just dread it. Anybody else have any ideas?

#0000 steel wool or a clay bar.

Razor blade and soapy water will take it right off and won't scratch the window.

Clay bar didn't work. I'll have to try the blade thing. I'll probably work on it tonight.

razor blade will do fine, even dry. use water to make it easier to clean. where u from in louisville?

Thanks for all the input, guys. Looks like I'm bladin' it.

I'm in the south side. Basicly Okolona right on the Bullitt county line. Is there much of an S scene around here?

yes and no. there's the ohio valley s-series guys... still a few of them that actually try to hang out and such, but not really.

i live just off dixie, in prp, you're out in okolona, dillon's at u of l right now, and nevermind's just across the bridge. i'm sure there's others i'm leaving out. we all really should try to meet up someday.

I'm up for meeting anytime...

xbrightsidex, I got my cd player from you a couple of years ago. I didn't know if you were still around. I'm down with meeting up. I just got back from NOPI. I'll have to post some pics of my truck and some other cool s's.

By the way, razorblade and quick detail followed by an automotive cleaner wiped off with black and white newspaper made it smooth as, well, glass.
