Glass cleaner (G4) caught in windscreen chips...?
Discussion
I was planning to coat my windscreen with some Gtechniq G1 but was first giving it a good clean with some G4. However, little specs of the compound are getting lodged in tiny chips in the glass, leaving loads of tiny specs of white that I can't seem to remove. Obviously I want to remove them before I apply the G1 so I don't seal them in permanently. Anyone had this before / got any ideas?

You mean I should've used one, or using one would remove the spots? Could you give me a Halfords link and I'll sort it tomorrow. Thanks.
Use it to remove the spots, http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/...Try a nail brush and water or a nail brush and panel wipe, failing that just pressure wash.
Try a test patch of any coating first to check the affects of any specialist sealant. Some of these hygophobic sealants make the surface water bead into tiny droplets like mist after a while which is more obscuring to your vision than just plain glass. I would not advise to use any body rubbing compound on a screen anyway as the abrasive can damage the screen, I have been out to too many people who have tried to t cut out scratches and made it worse. My recommendation is just toothpaste to clear the grease layer from the screen. Keep the blades clean also.
