if ur wanting to clean ur windows.
use a window cleaner, and steal wool. then just whipe off.
and if ur have tints, u obviously do not use the steal wool on the inside.
but on the outside of any of ur windows, use steal wool with pressure, it wont scratch them

and no, steal wool will not scratch ur windows.
BUT, like i said, dont use it on ur tints (obviously). use it on ur outside window only. (unless u dont have tints, then u can use it inside and out).
use it on ur front windshield, inside front, anything u want.
it is the best cleaning combo with window cleaner out there. swear to god.

so i went to autopia....and youre right, surprising, but apparently it works. i only found one specification, that it should be #0000 steal wool....so imma go and try this cuz my windshield seems to be really grainy and it wont come off...but ill try some clay first,
thanks for the tip!

trust me, i know. ive been detailing at BMW for a while now.
just use a fine sheeted steal wool. thats all.
