Invisible Glass

[Carfire]

I had read about some people using invisible glass products before, and in Motor Trend they had an ad for Invisible Glass. I went to Invisible Glass, and ordered a free sample. It came with in a week or so. I am going to try it tomorrow. I was wondering if you have tried it what are some suggestions if any, and what is your opinion on it. Personally I do not know if I would buy the stuff any ways, because it is another product to buy when I think UQD works just fine, and creates invisible glass. The free sample comes with 2 wipes.

Give it a try...

See how many windows a wipe lasts for, if there is enough liquid, if it needs followed up with a dry cloth or not.

Re: Invisible Glass

Not sure how the IG wipes will be, but I do use the Aerosol can for my glass cleaning needs not only for the car but all around my apartment including mirrors. I like the aerosol as it does not spray a liquid but more of a mist of product.

Plus, like most quality glass cleaners, it does not have ammonia so it is safe for tinted windows. I would love to try the NXT Glass Cleaner, but I have yet to find it OTC anywhere and haven't ordered it online either.

Let us know what you think of the wipes.

Re: Invisible Glass

Same. Aerosol can works great...not sure about the wipes. I like the product because a little goes a very long way.

Re: Invisible Glass

I get some stuff from Costco because its in an aerosol and comes in a 4-pack and amonia free. Safe for use on my tinted windows, but for the windshield I use UQD most of the time.

I looked at IG's site, you have to pay $4.50 shipping and handling for a "free" sample?

Re: Invisible Glass

I did not pay anything for shipping. I did not use a credit card or anything. I just checked now, and I saw the shipping charge. They must of just added that, because I do not remember paying at all.

Re: Invisible Glass

I used to use Invisible Glass before really getting into detailing and it worked pretty good. Seems to haze quicker than some other products out there like Meguiar's.

Not bad stuff though.

Re: Invisible Glass

I use to use the invisible glass all the time. Then I switched to Meguiars concentrated glass cleaner. There is a difference. Not knocking the invisible glass. It appeared after time there was a buildup of product. With the megs glass cleaner have not noticed this at all.

Re: Invisible Glass

Have used Stoner's IG a lot. Worked quite well for me. No issues.

However, I recently tried Meguiar's glass cleaner and was equally impressed. I found it worked just as well as the Stoner's and was even more economical (and smells much better).

+1 : I have both, I like both, the Meg's concentrate does smell great - too great, my wife always 'appropriates' it for use in the house! LOL!

And, IMO, Meg's does an easier job removing 'vinyl fog' from the bottom of windshields. But the key for me is More Economical!

Re: Invisible Glass

I wasn't that impressed with Invisible Glass. I have a can somewhere around the house I use for the house windows, my sunglasses, etc...

Re: Invisible Glass

So here are some pictures. My windows were not that dirty. It is not that easy to see the dirt. When my Mom gets home(since her windows are dirtier) I will do a 50/50 shot. And a shot with IG and UQD and maybe a normal glass cleaner and see if there is a difference. Anyways, I think the product did what it was supposed to. I used a microfiber cloth to dry. I did not see any streaks or and dirt. Also the windows were "invisible" , but I have recived the same results with my generic glass cleaner.




This is what the wipe looks like:








Before:

The little specks on the glass is the dirt.







Afters:







I think this is the best picture, it shows the reflections ,but otherwise you would not know.







Thanks for looking and stay tuned for more.

Re: Invisible Glass

like the nxt glass cleaner, invisible glass works well. they both do a great job...

Re: Invisible Glass

Alright here are the test results. Enjoy!!
One the left is UQD
Middle is IG
End is a Generic Glass Cleaner (Streak Free)


Before:










Afters:





Ultimate Quik Detailer:







Invisible Glass Wipe:







Generic Streak Free Glass Cleaner:









Despite what the pictures may show, there was not really any streaking from any product. They all seemed to be about the same. Obviously UQD leaves some hydrophobic properties which the others do not. There is some salt dust on the window because when I was drying the towel hit the salt and put some dust onto the window. There are still some dirty spots, because I did not want to over lap the products for the test. I really do not have a preference. You can be the judge.

Thanks for looking!!

Do what I did. Mix up a bottle for her. She can keep it inside. But then if your wife is like mine, It will become your job anyway. lol.
