Why all the fuss about cleaning these things! It's not rocket science! We had original 7 year old isenglass in until a couple years ago when it was replaced. The stuff coulda passed for new. The only type of care I gave them was weekly rinses with the hose followed by a damp towel to wipe them off. I would then every couple weeks hit them with the aerosol 210 stuff and that was it! I am not an average joe that when I say they looked good they were really still scratched up. I am VERY anal and they were practically FLAWLESS. I did notice that the aerosol wax stuff did start to build up and cause a slight hazing which was removed by polish. I just layed off waxing them soo much and now only do it about 3 times a season. I know Michigan may not have the harshest environment but with my minimal routine they stayed looking great. Granted I was starting with nice windows to begin with. The other thing you have to remember is the more polishing the more scratching your liable to do. Lets face it, polishing is actually micro-sanding (is that a word?) the surface. The less times you touch the glass the less chances your gonna scratch it. All these cleaners and magic polishes are just overkill if you ask me! Anyone is more than welcome to come inspect ours and see for yourself! (And set up 24hr surveillance if you don't believe me on the minimal care!)
