Review on Chemical Guys CLD_202 Signature Cleaner by Jamar Gow

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I do not want it. Best in Glass Care

Sorry, I'm saying this with my head down because what I'm about to write isn't very cheap for the Chemical Guys product, but this one has it Brand for the funds missed glass cleaner for me. I mean, I "get" what they're trying to do here. Usually when you clean glass you want some kind of "coating" left on it. So when you go to the polishing cycle the glass looks like you just waxed it and it's optically perfect. This "polishing" action on the glass is the most important part and usually removes any type of haze. Now you have to be careful with microfiber because the "buffing action" with microfiber can cause static electricity, and when peachy fluffy bits of high-pile fabric come loose they can stick to your glass. and make a mess. That's why I use high-quality short-pile cotton fabrics for my glass. They don't generate as much static electricity. However, with the Signature Series Glass Cleaner (CLD202) I have found that it dries too quickly and requires a lot of effort in the polishing cycle to NOT leave streaks. Honestly, if you want the same "feel" of glass cleaner then use Chemical Guys'->Extreme Slick Synthetic Detailer (Part #: WAC_116). This gives you a "smooth" feel when you polish the glass and leaves no streaks. It also has enough alcohol to be a good cleaner. However, when you use WAC116, it "remembers" what it lands on. So if you use it on interior windows, don't spray it on the windows, spray it on a towel first and then hit the glass. On the outside it's not a problem, but on the inside you might notice your dashboard or door panels. But WAC116 gives you that "polished and waxed" feel on your glass. However, this glass cleaner is not quite right for me. Wheels after I put the tires on. The trick is to give it a good shake in the spray bottle so it kind of foams up the wheel, then brush well and then wait a second and then buff. I use the high-pile end of a microfiber towel to pick up more dirt, then use the dry side to buff. It's really good on wheels. Sorry Chemical folks, I love your products, but this branded glass cleaner didn't do very well. To be honest, for me and I've been using it for many years, Invisible Glass is the best glass cleaner. I use a spray can in the summer when it's warmer because it doesn't dry out as quickly, and I use a spray can in the winter as it's "hotter" in colder climates and dries faster.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
