    Welcome to MOL!

    Not quite sure if the glass cleaner will do any damage. However, if possible I would clay the car to make sure I got it off. If you cannot clay I would definately use a paint cleaner. Look at this thread to get you started.

      Welcome to Meguiar's Online!

      The Glass Cleaner itself won't hurt the paint, the problem is that when you're using a waterless wash system, you want a product that provides a lot of lubricity to help you to remove dirt without instilling swirls and scratches at the same time, glass cleaner is a liquid, thus it's a lubricant but it's not going to be nearly as slick as the spray included in the Waterless Wash kit.

      To late to turn back the clock so hopefully you didn't do too much damage as far as instilling swirls and scratches. If you did then we have the products to remove them. Chances are that if you did instill any swirls and scratches the NXT Paste Wax will have visually masked them, so next time the sun is out and the car is clean, just try to inspect the paint to see if you can see any swirls and scratches.
