    I got some new wipers and want to do a good clean on windscreen.

    Old school T-cut and polish man I'm afraid so I don't have a clay bar if that is even the right thing (will get one eventually I guess :D ), what is best method? Thanks.

    PS Michelin wipers reduced in Tesco Coonagh, 18", 22", 24" only, €10 each.

    A good class cleaner and damn good scrubbing in old school terms.

    Or

    In cash guzzling new skool terms a set of raylon pads, glass polish, rotary or da machine, some detailing tape, clay bar, fall out remover?, a good glass cleaner and a damn good scrubbing.

    Yes, you can use fallout remover on glass too. Obviously the most heavily contaminated areas will be the wheels and lower body work, but glass gets a certain amount of contamination also.

    **** still hits windscreen :D but it would have to be a bad windscreen that's never been cleaned properly, I left question mark there as it a sort of last resort/only if you have to kind of thing.

    Going to try the carpro ceriglass one of the days - was just wondering if I needed the polish pad?

    The kit comes with a polishing block for doing it by hand! ;)
