I suppose that it's possible that there may not be sufficient interest, but detailing can be a very time consuming chore that can be cut down with the best products and procedures.

Fore example, to keep aluminum wheels looking good, I've found that Mother's Billet Polish applied by hand with Nitrile Gloves will provide amazing results. Also, to get rid of what I call nano-lint from windows one really needs to use a glass specific microfiber towel, Cobra Microfiber Towels Glass Waffle Weave works well along with Stoners Invisible Glass.

I've ended up with a ton of products, some work some work not so well. There are products being recommended through this site, but not in one place and searching often doesn't turn up good results. For example, Mr. Buffer is a great product, recommended here by more than a few posters but it's hard to find since it's mixed into threads with a different subject.

Anyway, if there appears to be no interest, nevermind.

I find using scrunched up black & white news paper works best of glass work.
Try it you wont look back

That does work, except Newspaper are currently recycled, and most are formulated with adhesives, which glass cleaners will break down leaving a tacky reside and paper ‘lint’ on the glass surface. The inks used and some chemicals can allow ink transfer to the glass. Newspaper inks are now water-based (unlike the older oil-based they will not shine glass) But they will stain your hand black (they dissolve with body heat) so be careful what surfaces you touch after handling newspaper (fabric, leather, plastic, etc) as they may stain.

Now this is a bit overboard, since newspaper does work - it all depends on the result that one is out to achieve.
