I use Windex (All-Purpose...but they are all the same). Use a micro fiber cloth if you're **** about scratching your paint. A soaked paper towel works for me.

as long is there's no ammonia.. on paint.. bad.. i hope the all-purpose windex doesn't have any. (pretty sure not) yeah.. i'm sure windex makes ammonia-free stuff... but for anyone who doesn't know... yeah... just make sure.

anyway.. bug and tar remover will work... water will work...
and for anything that you want to kick it's butt on.. claying the car is the best.

I used glass cleaner with no ammonia in it and a car sponge. Then when I was done I hosed down the area I sprayed the galss cleaner and then got my car washed.

go to wal-mart or kragens and buy one of those sponges wif the mesh material on top of it. works great wif some car wash soap. remember don't ever use dish soap, that can strip ur clearcoat.

Just what it says it is--a bar of clay. You can get a Mother's kit that has a clay bar and spray detailer. The clay bar removes impurities from the paint. See the tech section for detailing info...........

thanks for the info....

let me just say it was a pain in the butt to get off all that shoe polish!! and it sucks butt doing it..

took me at least a good hour to get 95% off...but some of it is on the black part around the window and its not really coming off....going to have to try a new approach at that part
