Windex? - TundraTalk.net

DerekM · 06-24-2008, 11:45 PM

After i've washed my truck recently i've been sprayin on some Windex all over the truck and wipin her down, love the shine it's been giving me. I got black so keepin her shiny is a must, black only looks good clean.

Windex is great for windows, but not so sure about paint! Doesn't it have amonia in it?

Can't speak to whether it will harm the paint, but I am confident it will strip your wax. Stripping your wax will kind of defeat your whole point of keeping her shining. Buy some Turtle Wax ICE Detailer spray or one of the other brand detailer sprays available. It will take off light dust and keep her shining. Plus it adds some additional protection on top of the wax!

lol on the "windex"

if you want easy-to-use and effective detailing products go with "Turtle Ice Wax"

I use every single one of their products and you will get excellent results.

I guess that would be a good way to strip away wax but yea, stop it now. Throw a coat of wax or two on it as soon as possible.
