Best fabric cleaner I know is also easiest to find: All Purpose Cleaner (APC). Whether its Simple Green, Meguiars, or even Cosway, APC can literally clean the entire interior of your car. U just need a few good brushes to assist in scrubbing.

Means, spray diluted APC, scrub with brush then wipe with damp cloth? Also, what kind of brush is suitable? Soft horsehair brush?

Correct. Spray, agitate, wipe off.

Ideally u wanna use a shorthair soft bristle brush for all the hard parts of interior like dashboard and doors. For tight crevices, toothbrush. For seats and carpet, medium bristle brush. Try avoid hard bristles like toilet brush types as that would most likely damage your fabric. Whe u are at any hypermart, go get a feel of the brushes and u will be able to tell soft, medium and hard when in comparison to each other.

Similar, but good one heavy rain or big droplets.
Light showers still need the wipers.
Works as advertised.

Yar meh, did you over coat the screen?
I don't have the said symptoms wo.

It says you should let it dry for 10-15 minutes, and ensure 1 day of sunlight or dry area until coating is set.

I applied it last year October. Still beading and no mist as experienced.

I use Rainx and face similar misting issue that usually occurs on cold mornings. Usually I have no choice but to spray wiper fluid and wipe off the mist with wiper.

No idea why that happens. Can't tell whether I 'overcoat' it or not. My situation is such that I can't let it cure for 1 day. At most is half a day.

So I just live with it. This is a small inconvenience compare to not coating it and kena waterspot issues later.

Thanks for the suggestion, but might not be suitable for this case as the product says is for interior glass but the mist forms on exterior glass. Weird right?

Hmm, my very rough estimate is it should cost somewhere between RM500-1000. I dont own any polishers from Osren or SGCB, so honestly wouldnt know.

For Osren and SGCB, u can actually msg them on FB and enquire price before going to their shop.

However, just remember the machine cost is only 1 factor to total cost. There is also cost of pads, compounds and polishes, and possibly extra microfiber cloths. Please bear that in mind before purchasing.

Should I apply carpro iron x on my windscreen? Will it remove the windscreen water repellent treatment coating I done before?

Use carpro ceriglass to remove all the coating. Claying is also recommended.

I think C.W.S intention is to clean off iron particles from windscreen without removing the windscreen coating is it?

Maybe you can try ask him, haha. I am sure he will appreciate if you notice his workmanship. Speaking of which you reminded me I didn't try whether carpro PERL have water beading effect or not. tongue.gif test it next time. Hehe
