Actually you can. I'm not sure if I would do it on size window glass though. they make kits for windshields (to remove the pitting). It's a lot of work, and I've never personally done it. Presumably it would also work on a side window, but I might want to actually remove the glass part to do it. Someone on eBay sells the kit to do it.

I've only ever used Blackfire products with a random orbital. Long process, but the car comes out looking GREAT! I'll probably do a full detail soon and post some pics.

Zaino everything. If they sell it, I have it. Prices vary deending where you buy it, but I go to The Barber Shop in Square One in Mississauga for supplies. Detailed professionally for 10 years **over 10,000 detailed vehicles under my belt** and have used everything under the sun. Dollar for dollar, best I've ever used, Zaino products are amazing

i use nothing but meguires here. except black magic liquid tire shine, that stuff is the bomb. but the meguires quik detailer i dont like. it left streaks all on my car.. thats the only product i dont like from them, so now i clean my car almost every day with meguires quik wax, it works wonders. i never let my car get dirty, im a huge clean freak when it comes to the outside of my car. i feel happier driving my car when its clean so i clean it every day. lol

jhubbz, your car looks flawless in that pic.

Got "Armor All" gift pack for christmas... excited about the exterior tire shine, rim cleaner, car wash and microfiber wash pad but a little unsure of the interior stuff... heard bad things about using armor all on our dashboards, anybody have any feedback?
