Waterless wash for glass roof?

[Kimpossible]

I just received my model 3 and have a cleaning question… live in an apartment complex that doesn’t allow car washing on site so I’m using waterless car wash spray on the exterior to remove dust, but I’m not sure what to use on the glass roof? Do I use glass cleaner? Is there something special I need to use on it?

Oh ok so pretty much using any waterless wash is ok?

Yep, you can safely use your favorite waterless wash on the glass. You can use glass cleaner too but glass cleaner will likely degrade or remove car wax or sealants. So if you have any wax or sealant on the glass, a waterless wash is better than glass cleaner, IMO.

waterless <> rinseless

Use Windex or other, just like you would for cleaning any glass in your home. I personally have never heard of waxing glass, but whatever, car glass was made to be totally clean. I use Windex and a baby diaper (they're cheap and absorbent, buy by the dozen) and my windows are spotless, except for the rock chip.

Yep, waxing the glass is great. When it rains, water just flies off and makes it less likely you will have water spots. And the same way wax makes it easier to clean car paint, it makes it easier to clean the glass. I've even heard of people putting car wax on their shower glass to make it easier to clean the glass and prevent the build up of mineral deposits.

Interesting idea… I may have to try that shower trick

I use Ethos D3FY on all my glass. Water/snow slides right off.

Windex has ammonia so recommend going without ammonia based cleaners like invisible glass or spraway
