Try it next time you wash the truck & let the sun hit it! You'll love it! (Maybe an old trick .....don't know)

 

Yep, been doing it for years. Quick detailing on a Harley Davidson.

Yep, I've also used it for a while now.

 

Considering that I just washed all of my windows and glass everything with a bottle of Windex...

Is it safe to use Windex on car windows?

It isn't going to want to act like Rain-X, is it?

And now I guess that I have to go out and do my chrome with it too...

 

Windex won't act like rain-x at all. I've done it for years. Now I just wax the chrome and it looks great. Speaking of which, time to get back and finish detailing. I forgot how much trash these trucks can hold.

 

You ain't lieing. I just finished washing my truck. Got the power washer out and got all the rode grime/salt off under the truck, gotta stay on top of that or I will have a rust bucket in no time.

I tried the Windex on the chrome, it worked decent for the bling effect but didn't help any with the water spots. Our water up here is from a well and tends to leave them excessively everywhere. The best product I found for removing waterspots is Stoners Glass Cleaner, of course I ran out when I need it.

 

The best I've found is a synthetic chamois called the absorber. I kid you not. I've got a dark blue truck and when the water dries it spots it BAD. All I do is wipe it down with one of those and boom, no more water spots. I do agree though, stoner's makes some great window cleaner. And like you, when I finally need it I'm out.

 

I don't usually do alot of chrome polishing because most of my stuff is aluminum. To polish that I use Vim Household Cleaner. Works great and gets rid of residue.

Hey,........Blue..............your truck is blue,you're blue........what else is blue? Like the new avatar!

 

My jeans, hat, boxers, air box, and radio. Thanks!!! My buddy Diesel_Dan thought it was very fitting for me.

 

Windex is the truckers friend. Have to have a bottle somewhere in the corner of the cab. Washes hands, a cup or dish, cleans rubber floor mats. The dash, windows, and so on. Could not be without it. I use it every day on the truck.
