Default Windshield Cleaning 101

At the first CTG, Mark (Cdn_Wolf_Eh) demonstrated the proper way to clean a windshield....

1. One side at a time, cover entire surface evenly with cleaner



2. Using a squeegee, starting from top, remove cleaner in smooth, even strokes, removing product from squeegee with micro-fibre towel





3. Repeat all above steps on other side

PS..Mark, just couldn't resist

2nd last photo looks like a deer caught in the lights!!


btw, anyone check out this tip from turbo tv. They used peanut butter to remove tar from the rocker panels. The guy lathers it up on the tar and then just starts wiping it off w/ a towel, it worked but I can't see how this doesn't scratch the paint a bit. Maybe Picus knows!!

I think a better idea would be to spread peanut butter on it but instead of using a towel to wipe it off, get a big ole dog to come and lick it off! (although the dog might not like the taste of tar too much!)

All this reminds me of an absolutely inappropriate joke which I will be happy to share with you in person.

everyone in the forest heard about that night, they're all taking cover now....



P.S Steve, you should put a raccoon w/ an X going over it on your fender!! Like how some cars have stickers of cars they've beat, well, they'll wonder when they see you pull up!! (coming up!!!)
