Default How to Super Clean Your Windshield with Steel Wool

Now this is a new one to me. I've used a claybar with good success on windows, but never thought to try steel wool.

Brings back memories of my ex-wife decided to clean off some sap from the windshield of my '71 Gran Prix with an SOS pad, Bad idea....

One problem I see with using steel wool is that you have to vacuum every little bit of the metallic residue left from using the wool. Because that stuff will rust, and where ever it lays on the vehicle afterwards could develop a rust stain if it all isn't removed.

I would be hesitant to use it myself, for that reason.

Left scratches on the glass where she scrubbed it. I guess maybe they're not 0000 ought steel wool? Anyway, I won't take the chance again. I wish I still had that car. Silver with a black vinyl top and black interior, Model J with 400 PONTIAC engine.

Much like this one. You just don't see cars this old on the street anymore. That why I like going to the cruises. But the sonic by Lake Jackson closed, that was where the biggest crowds used to go.

I had heard that the Lake Jackson cruise in had gone away. Haven't been there for a while. Too bad, used to be a lot of nice rides there. No one picked up the slack with another get together?

Actually, I had a 1976 Grand Prix myself. Bought it brand new. Had the optional 455 engine in it. Pretty nice car. I believe I traded it in to buy my full sized bronco in 82 or 83.

Looked a lot like the one in the below photo, but had better wheels on it.
