soapy applicator dab all over, damp scrim wipe all over and into the nooks and corners, then buff up with a dry scrimm. or purified water in atomiser spray then wipe and buff :)

best of luck on that one
looks like the putty will smear all over the glass
i may be wrong but then if you can keep it as dry as possibale it might not be to bad

I would be tempted to spray a fine mist with GG3 (if in softwater area) or GG4 (hardwater) and buff with a good scrim

I have found the Vikan grey ones to be the best.

Use a littlebit of car polish on a damp cloth apply it on the glass than buff it off it is a  perfect result

Alex where can i buy these vikan micros? I changed from scrim over to micros 6 months ago, first lot i bought was wcw own brand which i found fantastic.
Made another order with wcw a month ago and have been dissapointed this time, the guy i spoke to on the phone said they upgraded them but i explained to him the new ones were nowhere near as good as the old ones,hopefully they will sort this out but in the meantime would be happy to hear of other recomended suppliers

Three ways all are good
1) Chammy Leather + Scrim
2) WFP
3) Vikan microfibre

Most Vikan stockists can get hold of them for you.  We should have a stock of these in soon as individual items.  My only criticism of them is that they are slightly on the small side.
