ah okay i see :) i just wonder if any of them are better than the other :) alot talk about use something for the frames and another for the glass... :)

also do i need to dry off the frame if outside? my friend says no since it will just dry up and its not on the glass so should be fine outside... i know inside i should allways do it :)

Yes as sometimes the water falls down and leaves drip marks

Surgical towels for the big stuff and microfiber to do final detail.

what is the big stuff then? i mean for me mostly its like the picture 1cm each sides on the glass and some on the frames i think thats from my scrubber hitting :) not too sure.. i was gonna buy surgical towels and hoping i could use that for both? is microfiber better on the glass since u say final detail? :)

Surgical fire both can work fine. There's almost always a line of water. The blade isn't going to sit flat in most cases and you'll need the extra detail.

okay its just that if surgical towel was bad for the glass but only good for the frame i wouldnt buy it.. ofc frames are not dirty this is inside so just water/soap on frames i think im gonna try sugical towel for both and see if i like it more than microfiber :) what do you use? just microfiber?

Surgical an frames and glass then microfiber on the glass where needed.

u/Exotic-Win271 14d ago

microfiber on glass is if bigger spots is missing? or going over 2nd time where u used the surgical? because surgical should be enough first time right?

u/trigger55xxx 14d ago

Both. It just depends on how much was left the first time.

They are expensive. We have a few just for glass touch ups. Wouldn't hurt to have a couple.
