Here is a three way review/comparison of glass cleaners:
As you can see the windshield was divided into three sections (I hope they're equalish, but I don't think they are - no matter.)
As said above the three are:
Auto Finesse Crystal Glass Cleaner
Invisible Glass
SONAX Glass Cleaner
For a control, one type of glass-specific microfiber towel was used. In this case it was Microfiber Madness Cloudbuster Glass Cleaning Towel.
First, the Auto Finesse: it is a quality glass cleaner. The spray on the bottle is one of the best in the industry, and it provides an even coverage, albeit fine spray. Several pumps were needed to adequately coat the section of the windshield.
The Invisible Glass is what I had used pretty much ever since I was 16. The only other glass cleaner I had used prior to IG was a sample of DP Krystal Glass Cleaner. It does a good job at quickly cleaning the grime.
The SONAX is another quality product, but what else would you expect from the name? The sprayer throws a lot of product. It is a soap-ier product, which I think Nick commented on during his review of the product. I did not think that this aspect was any bit a detriment to the overall performance of the product.
Now the results:
Auto Finesse:
Invisible Glass:
SONAX:
I know it is hard to see, so let me say that each cleaned the glass nicely, however there are clear (no pun intended) winners.
First Place: SONAX
Second Place: Auto Finesse
Third Place: Invisible Glass
I believe that the SONAX glass cleaner is the best, by a pretty far margin. It cleaned very well, even though my windshield was not that dirty. It wiped cleanly, cutting through grime and without streaks.
The Auto Finesse is a great product, and would probably be the best glass cleaner I had ever used if I had failed to buy the SONAX. I think it fails to cut through the tough grime, but did wipe cleanly and clearly. Strong second, and would make a strong addition to anyone's arsenal, especially since the bottles are a work of art!
The Invisible Glass is the ole stand-by! It is a good product, but there are better products out there, but you'll pay for 'em. This is the cheapest (by a wide margin) and works pretty well.
I hope you enjoyed and I look forward to all questions and comments!
Happy detailing!
