Hi Team,
We are brand new R23 owners living in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Seeking advice on product selection for routine cleaning of all windows (tinted) in the Atlantic Ocean environment.
Thank you in advance.
Steve & Cheryl Dyer.
 
If you’re talking about the outside, treat the windows with rainex and use salt-a-way to remove salt from the windows left over from sea spray. If you’re talking about the inside, which is where your window tint should be installed, you can use Invisible Glass. It was recommended by our auto glass tint installer. You can use Invisible Glass on the outside after you remove the salt or any other glass cleaner.
 
In addition to what Bob states, we clean our windows each day while traveling with water and vinegar using a sponge and squeegee. It’s just part of our shut down routine. Fast and easy.

Go to about 24:50 in this Webinar from Ranger Tugs/Cutwater. it shows their recommendations. Watch the whole webinar for their recommendations for every surface on your boat.

Thank you to all who replied regards window cleaning - very much appreciated.
Cheers Steve & Cheryl.
 
If you waited like we did until there were visible spots on the outside of the windows that would not come off, then, Rain-X and Salt Away are not enough. I used straight vinegar followed by a serious fresh water wash and got 80% off. Next, I'll work on the rest and the follow with Rain-X.

When I say waited, I mean about 5 months in salt water with fresh water and occasional salt away washes. That seemed enough on other boats, but, not this one.
