if you do go the steel whool route, get a pack of the #0000 steel whool ( you'll see what I mean when I get there). Thats the finest steel whool you can get. I believe a SOS pad is a bit too much.
I use the #0000 steel whool all the time on my exterior windows....works excellent in getting the deep down dirt and grime off, as well as bugs and such in the summer. All you have to do it take a piece, break it in half, dab some liquid dish soap (dawn, palmolive, whatever you have), wet the pad untill the water comes through the other side, and go outside and start scrubbing the exterior glass on your Jeep.....make sure the windows are wet before you start scrubbing and DO NOT USE IT ON THE SIDE MIRRORS....IT WILL SCRATCH THEM! I did the very first time and I can see some very faint scratch marks on there, when the sun shines at the proper angle. Once you're done, rinse off with the hose and youre all set!
I usually like to work with one side of the Jeep at a time. Do all the drivers side windows, rinse, move to the back, rinse, to the right side, rinse, and then hit the front and the headlights and fog lights, and then rinse.
As far as the inside glass goes, I use newspaper and the auto glass cleaners found in the auto detailing section of any store. I know you're thinking the news print will come off, and yes it will come off in your hands, but not on the glass. I've found that the news paper streaks far less than regular paper towels, and I don't use windex, as that only enhanced the problem. I also use this on the side mirrors now to clean them. Once you've got a used newspaper, take the part thats damp from the other windows, and wipe the radio face plate, rear view mirror, and the vanity mirrors, as well as the plastic cover over the instrument pannel.....you don't have to spray any cleaner on them, aslong as the newspaper is wet enough from other windows.
I'm not really THAT obsessed am I??????? (Aeh) :-#
