![]() However, if you’re currently using an equivalent ammonia-free glass cleaner which is situated around the same price point, I can’t see much reason to switch products other than if you like a bit of variety in your detailing.Smart building materials company ClearVue Technologies Limited has signed an MOU with Grafsol for exclusive distribution rights in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar and non-exclusive distribution rights in Saudi Arabia. Overall, I would recommend Turtle Wax CVGC as it left the windows on my Toyota sparkling. At around $10 from Bunnings Warehouse it is a good buy, but there are cheaper products out there (for example, the Rain-X Automotive Glass Cleaner, which you can find at most hardware stores for around the same price). While Turtle Wax CVGC is a good automotive glass cleaner, ultimately it is only one of many products which perform the same task and seem to perform it to a similar standard. ![]() The smell is strongly chemicalish and therefore, like with any glass cleaning product, cleaning your car’s glass with CVGC is a job that you’ll want to get done as fast as you can before moving onto something more pleasant (like having a coffee, or dressing your tyres with a pleasant tyre-dressing product like Meguiar’s Endurance Tire Gel – see my review of that product in that regard). Glass cleaner is not renowned for smelling pleasant and Turtle Wax CVGC is no exception to that rule. ![]() Although some stubborn marks on the glass required CVGC worked a treat on the window which had some water spotting from where I hadn’t completely dried the surface after washing and also some overspray from the Turtle Wax Jet Black Spray Wax (see my review of that product) which I had recently applied. I tried Turtle Wax CVGC on the front windshield of the Vitz using the two microfibre towel method (spraying the product directly onto the window before wiping the product across the surface of the glass with a clean microfibre towel and removing any streaking using a second clean microfibre towel). The packaging is also fairly handsome as glass cleaner bottles go and the trigger sprayer feels quite nice in hand (unsurprisingly, it is the same sprayer found on other Turtle Wax products). The clear coloured liquid inside the bottle makes CVGC look much classier than the ammonia-based cleaners that you find stacked up at Pak ‘n’ Save which are typically a cheap-looking bright blue colour. Turtle Wax CVGC seemed to me to be a bargain given the price of some cleaners I spotted on the shelves ($20+ for the equivalent Meguiar’s and Mothers’ products, for example) – more on this later – so I snapped up a bottle. While out shopping for detailing supplies I decided I should also pick up some glass cleaner so that I could include the windows as part of my maintenance wash of the Vitz. I purchased Turtle Wax ClearVue Glass Cleaner out of convenience more than anything else. Fortunately, during my travels through detailing forums and websites I had found a number of references to the importance of using appropriate glass cleaner on tinted windows and I knew to hold off on cleaning the glass on the Vitz before I had acquired the right tool for the job. ![]() However, the Vitz, like many second-hand imports from Japan, came with what is commonly referred to as a “JDM tint” (that is, tinted rear windshield and rear passenger windows). Prior to purchasing my Toyota Vitz, I had never owned a car with tinted windows. When cleaning automotive glass it is recommended that you use an ammonia-free glass cleaner, the reason being that ammonia-based glass cleaners, due to the harsh nature of the ammonia contained in the formula, can cause damage to window tinting. In this review I give my thoughts on Turtle Wax ClearVue Glass Cleaner.
