Hey Pete,

What brand of glass restore did you use? And does it work on these trucks that get those scratches on the drivers and passengers windows from going up and down with dirt on them?

Looks great by the way!!!!!

its a:
Detailers Pride
High Performance Glass Restorer
made for water spots and etching , made for machine use....

it did remove some scratches on my windows, but they were very minor.
I tell you one thing , when you use it with Powerball this thing takes all the spots of the windows.

hope this helps.

in looks id say quite a bit, but in feel of the paint A LOT. i'v dont plenty of waxing and cleaning cars, but best results so far i had with clay bar. this makes paint so smooth its unbelivable, try it sometime.
it takes all the dirt and grime thats stuck to the paint off, which makes it easyer to maintain clean- like the roof on this trucks.

hope this helps.
