1Z Einszett Windscreen Clear Review

[mnehls86]

Product Name: 1Z Einszett Windscreen Clear 16.9 oz
Bought from Amazon for $11.33 shipped using Prime.





As listed on bottle.

• Concentrated glass cleaner removes road grime, tree sap, bug splatter, finger prints and nicotine film
• Use on glass, mirrors, plastic headlights and windscreens
• Smear-free finish for a safe clear view
• Ammonia-free formula won`t harm window tint, chrome, rubber or plastic surfaces

Directions: Mix equal parts of Windscreen Clear concentrate and water and pour contents into spray bottle. Apply Windscreen Clear onto the surfaces to be cleaned. Use a lint-free cloth to clean surface. Use only as directed. Please recycle empty container.

NOTE TO CALIFORNIA USERS: Follow only these directions. Windscreen Clear must be mixed with water in the ratio of 1 part Windscreen Clear with no less than 1 part water before the product is used to meet VOC requirements.

My take on the bottle:

The note to California users seems a bit redundant considering their directions were the exact same thing, equal parts or 1:1, but seeing as one website I visited will not even ship this to California I don`t believe there was a way to get around putting this note on the bottle.

The bottle itself looks like something you might find at your local dollar store. Cheap looking with a generic looking label. Luckily I had heard enough about this company to really want to give this a shot.

Using the product:

Per the directions, about half of the bottle was dumped into a spare spray bottle and diluted the concentrate with distilled water in the original bottle. One plus is I did not know I was even buying a concentrate since it came in a spray bottle so getting twice as much as I expected already made me pretty happy.




Smell is sort of a cross between a light bathroom cleaner and mint which probably doesn`t sound all that great but to date is the most pleasant smelling window cleaner I have used.

The cheap looking bottle and sprayer redeemed itself instantly after the first spray. The spray nozzle feels more durable than it looks and produces a very nice, fine, wide, uniform spray and clung to the window very well. A little bit of product really did go a long way and as stated on the bottle left a completely streak free finish with minimal buffing.

Next I really want to try this stuff out in direct sunlight on a warm day to see if it performs just as well in those conditions and if so then I will be sure to always have a bottle of this on hand.

Thanks guys!

Great review..... But I HATE doing windows

Same here but this made them much easier and clearer than a couple other products I have used. I hate when I accidentally do the windows too early and then have to go back over them

Thanks for the pics and review !!
We will always be looking for that magic glass cleaner that will leave them perfectly in just one pass, right ?

At least you live in the best part of the world for constant Sun, which really helps you see glass better, and of course, the awesome Pacific Ocean and Coastline...

Definitely good for seeing your work better but to be honest I often wonder if I`d rather have your climate. Hottest day this week is supposed to be Thursday at about 85° so I am going to give it another test then if I can remember to do it on my lunch break.

I`m curious to see the results you get in the sun. I don`t have much luck using it that way
It seems to dry on the window before I can wipe it off.
Regarding the dilution, I remember when VOC regulations forced it off the market for a while. It was only allowed back with the dilution instructions. In fact the first couple bottles I got right after it was reintroduced did not come with sprayers.
