This is what you want - Gtechniq G1

I treated all the glass on our XC 18 months ago and it's still beading/sheeting water today!

2 x pack protecrtoin polish

It is not polish.

Polish would remove defects in the paint.

A glaze would provide additional gloss.

Wax and sealants (guard x) and coatings are not designed for removing defects just providing protection.

Provides nothing about "polish".

Having difficulty getting IPA but now on order from a chemist. In the meantime have tried vineger wiped off with newsprint, Simoniz glass cleaner, dishwasher powder - & at last success with neat Fairy washing up liquid!
Thanks to all for the various suggestions.

Make sure that if you do the glass inside the car that you have ALL the doors OPEN when you clean the glass, lovely smell but over powering

I did mine again yesterday and polished using clean cloth, result sparkling clean glass again for a few months!

BTW, I buy my IPA from eBay, use it for cleaning lots of things
