Invisible Glass 91411 3.38-Ounce Glass Stripper Water Spot Remover Kit Eliminates Coatings, Waxes, Oils and More to Polish and Restore Automotive Glass , white

This review is for Invisible Glass 91411 3.38-Ounce Glass Stripper Kit. This kit is supposed to remove water spots, road film, and coatings (such as polishes, waxes, hydrophobic barriers, etc.). I purchased this because I wanted to step up my game on cleaning my car windows and for getting better results with my windshield wipers and hydrophobic barrier applications. Invisible Glass Glass Stripper was one of the top recommended based on professional reviews, consumer reviews, and application/results videos I watched.The application was very easy, and the included applicator sponge is of good quality. I may have used more of the compound than I needed to. I mention this, because the bottle is pretty small. I probably used up about half the bottle doing all the windows on my car. The directions say to use Invisible Glass Glass Cleaner before using Glass Stripper. The Glass Stripper is applied by shaking the bottle thoroughly and applying the white liquid/paste to the sponge applicator. Then use small circular motions to scrub the glass in overlapping motions as to not miss any spots. Be careful not to get this compound on to anything other than glass, as there are elements in this compound that are abrasive. If you do get any of the compound on to anything else, such as paint, use generous amounts of water to get it off. Do not rub the compound off the paint, as you will scratch up the paint. If you do have to use a towel to whipe the compound off of paint (or other surfaces) use a very wet, clean, microfiber towel, and carefully lift the leading edge of the microfiber towel away from the surface as you wipe. The compound is white, so it is easy to see your application, and it dries to a white chalky haze. The instructions then say rinse it off thoroughly with water. If you do this, you want to make sure you are very thorough in rinsing all the compound away and off the car so that there is no residue left on the glass or car. I did this in my garage in winter, so I used a damp microfiber towel to wipe away the compound, followed by a second damp microfiber towel to remove any remaining compound. And I followed that up with a clean microfiber towel to dry off the windshield. Doing this method worked very well, and I did not have any water run off of the glass onto anything else. The water droplets stuck to the glass very well. Which means this Glass Stripper must be effective at removing coatings, since I had an application of Rain-X on my glass prior. However, I did notice that a number of water spots that were on my glass (particularly the rear window, which gets the dirtiest) remained. So, Glass Stripper was not as effective at removing water spots as I had hoped it would have been, but it is possible that the remaining water spots could possibly be etched into the glass.Here is the overall process I did for my car windows. I washed the windows with car soap and water using a microfiber towel, then wiped the soap off with a damp microfiber towel, and I dried the windows with a microfiber towel. I then did two cleanings with Invisible Glass Glass Cleaner and a microfiber cloth followed by an application of Glass Stripper. After this I did an application of SOFT99 4146 Ultra Glaco Glass Cleaner (it's called glass cleaner, but it is actually a hydrophobic barrier coating (like a Rain-X)). The overall results were excellent.There are additional steps that can be done to clean the glass even further. One thing would be to use a high-speed buffer with a foam pad and a glass cleaning compound, such as Glass Stripper. You can also clay bar the glass in the same way you would clay bar the paint. I have seen videos of people using ultra-fine grade #0000 steel wool to clean glass as well, but you would need to be extremely careful that you get the ultra-fine grade, use gloves, and don't touch anything that is not glass.On a side note, the newspaper trick is great for no lint, but then you wind up with ink on your hands and possibly on the car if you aren't careful. A good quality microfiber is the way to go, and yes, there are big differences between microfiber brands out there. I have used some that just don't clean and leave lint, to others that are so effective that they can actually clean just with water.

Last weekend, my son took his brand new car to a local carwash... once it was done, he had all sorts of dash warnings and the car wouldn't work because his cameras were not working.Whatever they sprayed on his car left a nasty residue on everything. The windows were all screwed up with what looked like permanent water spots all over them.he tried washing it off by hand using different products and couldn't get it off. We tried using a couple of different commercial products, rubbing alcohol, and diluted distilled vinegar, but nothing worked.I ended up ordering this product on Amazon, and it worked.I had to go over all the windows probably twice, scrubbing vigorously, but eventually we succeeded.

Big Thumbs Up for Invisible Glass Glass Stripper and Water Spot Remover. I had a couple of coats of Rain-x Glass Water Repellent on my car windows, and quite a bit of hard water stains/spots on my windows from water overspray from my lawn sprinkler system.With the right lighting, You can literally see the layers of Rain-x water repellent coming off the glass as the Invisible Glass Glass Stripper is worked onto the glass in circular motion.I would have given it 5 starts, but even after using the IG Glass Stripper and cleaning it with IG Glass Cleaner, one could still see the very feint outline of water spots.Plus, 1 negative is that you can only use on glass - and not on car paint. I believe it's because there are some abrasives in the IG Glass Stripper (?). Anyway. I give this product a THUMBS UP.

Ok I’m a first time ceramic user so I thought this would be a good way to get my feet wet before I tackle the whole car. I think this kit does that well enough but there are things you should know before you start; some mistakes I made as a rookie and some drawbacks of the products.My rookie mistake: Read ALL the directions before starting. I didn’t do this and it cost me a little $$. I was planning on just doing the windshield first and doing the rest of the glass on a later date when I had more time. Plan on doing ALL the glass at once unless you have multiple applicators/microfiber towels. The ceramic applicator and buff towels CANNOT be reused. The ceramic residue hardens and makes them unusable. So now I have to buy more applicators and more microfibers (one wet, one dry) for applying the ceramic to the rest of the glass on the car.Main Product Drawback: the glass stripper is very difficult to remove. You need MANY more towels than they provide in the kit even if you’re just doing the windshield. Also, when rinsing it off, it runs on to other parts of the car so you will need to wash the car after you get done with the stripper. In addition, the bottle the stripper comes in is leaky and messy when using it. In the future when I add ceramic to the rest of the glass I think I’ll skip the stripper and just use some ceramic prep spray after using the glass cleaner.Speaking of the glass cleaner, that’s good. Cleans the glass with no streaks. Top notch.The ceramic itself was pretty easy to work with. Flashes to a rainbow effect to indicate when to buff off. The first area should be small though because the applicator will soak up a good portion of the first application of ceramic. Following applications were better.Durability remains to be seen.

Works great, removes water stones. Sounds like post for money, but it’s really not. Glass like new again.

Outstanding product, a bit messy but that is why it works! Would purchase again, my VW dealership could not remove stain on glass, this product took it off immediately with zero negative effect on glass on my back suv window.
