What kind of abrasive do you use to scrub your rear defroster lined windows? Just wanted to see what everyone else has good luck with.

Thanks.

Doobie or white scrub pad.

if your referring to cleaning before u put the tint on,,I use a green pad on the back of a dishwashing sponge, works great!!

Yeah, I've been scrubing with the white scrub pads, but for some reason I'm still having minor contamination issues. I pull rear decks, scrub the windows, use hard card with paper towel around it to get hard to reach areas, squeege window 2 or more times and then wet with solution...................still having problems. I'm thinking I need a more abrasive product. What about an sos pad?

Reverse roll.

I'm flushing the glass correctly and paying close attention to my handling of the film. I tape off the headliner so I don't accidentally touch it..............I think I spend more time preping my vehicles than I do on the actual installs.

I had to redo an 02 sentra's rear glass 3 seperate times before I had billable results..........that's a lot of time consuming shrinking and expensive Bekaert film down the drain................................I don't know .......I've done approximetly 30 cars so far and the rear window seems to be my only weakness. The contamination is minor, but I'm a stikler for quality control and I won't let things leave my shop half-assed.
