yes you can, it strips wax and all other stuff off. Makes for a cleaner surface if you want to rain-x it.

I have done this as well... It does a great job on the windows... I even use the Quick detailer to clean off all the windows except the windshield :)

Many people will use an old, used up claybar on the windows and wheels. You can use a new one just as well, but the wheels will tend to have to much crap on them and might make the claybar to full of contaminants to use on your paint. When the claybar gets to the point where you don't want to use it on paint, you can still use it on windows and wheels.


Windows sometimes have water spots, or other crud that is stubborn and just doesn't want to come off. A claybar will often to the trick. Along with stripping any road grime off that a normal wash won't touch. Same thing on your rims.

For windows, i just wash them quick while washing the car, and i don't worry about spots, I use Invisible Glass, on the inside and outside of the windows, 1 aerosol can lasts Inside and outside cleanings about 3- 4 times, depending on how much you use. It works really and is safe on tint and has no ammonia or streaky soaps. I haven't tried the spray bottle or wipes yet. Just my $.02
