whats good to take water spots off the windshield...
what interior spray can I use to get a shinny finished....for some reason I don't like a matte finished
 
I recently was doing a customer's car and it had water spots on the windshield. After I finished the paint, I ran my orange Griot's Garage pad with HD Speed over it and it wiped them right out. I thought I was going to have to reach for 3D Eraser, but I didn't.

I use the exact same thing, Chris.

Another reason I love my Speed. Lol
 
Griots fine glass polish and rayon glass pads. Removes water spots and polishes up glass nice.

What about a shinny interior dressing?


I’ve seen where Meguiars Supreme Shine
Rubber & Vinyl Protectant
has provided
that shiny interior finish the OP seems to relish
[for reasons only Heaven, (or maybe Jon Skeet),
would know].


Meguiars Supreme Shine Protectant, interior protectant, rubber and vinyl protectant, plastic protectant, vinyl dressing, UV dash protectant, meguiars

Not sure what color your dash is but making it shinny can cause glare issues that are really annoying.

I’ve yet to actually witness that in my lifetime.. As far as I’m concerned it’s a myth.
 
I stopped using dressings on my interior a while ago because they outgassed on my glass. That’s annoying.

Which ones? I wanna test this.

For many years I used Meguiars Gold Class Leather Wipes on every piece of my interior, and that never lead to any negatives. Neither has Meguiars D180 Leather Conditioner.

But I’m willing to use the worst thing possible just because I find it hard to believe...
 
I used to use 303 on all plastic and vinyl in my cars. Didn’t have trouble with Leather Masters on my leather seats.

I have some 303 Protectant. Next time it’s 100% sunny and hot I’m gonna slop it on my dashboard and go for a nice drive right towards the sun
 
Good opportunity to test glass cleaners then. I used Sprayway recently but haven’t taken the car out of the garage to see the results yet.

I agree, Ric.

What IS annoying is the chrome trim that these manufacturers put around the dashes/consoles.

At the right angle, (which will inevitably happen) the glare into the drivers eyes is horrible.

I'm not a fan of glossy interior sprays, but none of them match the annoyance and possible dangerous distraction of that chrome trim.

Speaking of cleaning glass... I’m about to try this thing for the very 1st time to get to the bottom part of my rear interior glass that’s otherwise impossible to reach. The last 5% has been smeared for months and I’m finally hoping to get it 100% perfect.

You wearing a sweatshirt, Ric?

Did it drop down to the low 70's there? ;)

It’s 59 degrees, but I’ve got a long sleeve T Shirt on I’m nearly busting a sweat with the flexibility I just had to pull off trying to clean my rear windowlol

I have a very similar tool called a Glass Wizard. I don’t know where I would be without it when it comes to interior glass

Why do you think track cars black matte the hood, reduce glare. It's a real thing and it sure was in my 03 seville. maybe it was the combination of window rake but the glare was so bad I would put a lay a towel on the dash to minimize it.
