My camaro sat for many years, so there is a bunch of .... stuff (there is a film) on the outter surface of the window. can anyone tell me what the best way to get rid of it is?

 

Heck yah! The best way to clean glass is with steel wool.Growing up in the body shop my dad used it all the time to remove any overspray that might have found it's way there somehow.

You can buy it at the grocery store,the automotive store should have it too.

Hope this helps yah,

Tony

 

Not just any steel wool. It has to be 0000.....anything more agressive will damage the glass.

I like ceramabrite (ceramic stove top cleaner) for the stubborn stuff. For regular cleaning Sprayway is my favorite glass cleaner...safe for tint too

 

Kerosene and a lot of elbow grease.

Yes use the fine steel wool,sorry sometimes when you've been doing this for a while you forgot to elaborate.

 

I encountered the same problem when I purchased my T/A... it had sat out in a field for years... I used a Razor Blade and Stoner Glass Cleaner... worked great... just don't use the razor blade on the inside back glass if your car has rear defogger...

 

Make sure you get the soft wool. Watch how you tell people steel wool...they may just ruin their window with that information.

EDIT: Dang, like 5 posts in the time it took me to right my comment. Haha.

P.S. I like Stoner Products.

 

lol sorry guys I try to be useful.the problem is being a 35yr old guy I know some old school tricks lol

 

I use a lot of boutique products for my cars but Stoners products work really well for removing film and making the glass seem invisible. try it out

 

If you think Stoners IG is good, try Sprayway....trust me you wont go back.

 

I also use stoners and it works well

haha thanks guys! thats a lot of info.. but im sure its all worth it... ill get some wool, stoners, and spray away lol. Im just really really tired of having old looking glass. time for a face lift

 

Windex? I dunno, maybe it's just me, but Windex has always done wonders for my windows. If you have tint, try a spray bottle, fill it up with water and then put a little bit of vinegar in it. I've always used vinegar/water mix to clean the inside of my windows where the tint is and have never had any problems and cleans the hell out of them.
