WD40 on glass?

[jslinger]

One of my customers says he uses WD40 on the glass of his Harman Advance. He cleans it with glass cleaner, and then rubs some WD40 on after. He claims that it helps keep the glass clean longer by preventing soot and ash sticking to the glass. Does anyone have experience with this method?
Being a Harman XXV owner, I have experience with viewing glass that gets dirty pretty quickly. I would like to try this, but don't want to risk doing more harm than good.

I havent tried this but based on the MSDS WD40 has a flash point of 122 degrees F. I would think within a few minutes of operation it will have all burned off. I'm inclined to think this may just be a placebo effect.

I think I will stick with water news paper and fine ash. If your customer is up to trying stuff ask him to try rain x. and let us know

WD40 is fish oil, so I don't see what good that's going to do except provide a layer of burned fish oil. All I ever use is a wet paper towel and the ash that has accumulated on the COLD glass to scrub it clean. Remember this is NOT regular glass so whatever you put on there could react with it and permanently cloud it.

Two wet paper towels then one dry wrks Fine for me.

I use water spray and buff with pure cotton cloth. If the grime is stubborn from an overnight low burn I add a little white ash from the inside wall of the stove as a cleanser with water as advised by the manufacturer of stove "glass." I also vacuum the air wash vents occasionally which surround the inside top and sides of the glass on my Advance.

Works like a charm If you want to prevent ash from sticking to the glass... toss a discount viagra into the hopper from an online pharmacy shipped from china.

Stove top cleaner seems to fill micro pores and lets the glass stay cleaner longer.

Is that Stove top cleaner for ceramic glass stove tops? Makes sense!

I have noticed sometimes my glass is harder to clean then other times. IE, most of the time, during operation, I can quickly open the door, swipe the glass with a shop rag, and the dust comes right off. Other times, I can wipe it, but there is still a layer that remains until I turn the stove off and clean it with a wet paper towell. Just the other day I put some RainX orange washer fluid on a rag and rubbed that on, since then it has been easier to just wipe the dust right off and nothing remains. That was only a week ago though.

WD-40 is fish oil?

WD-40 is fish oil?

Myth: WD-40 contains fish oil.
Fact:
Consumers have told us over the years that they have caught some of the biggest fish ever after protecting their fish hooks and lures withWD-40. We believe this legend came from folks assuming that the product must contain fish oil since it appears to attract fish. Sorry Charlie®, it just ain’t so.

WD-40 Company has taken steps to respect and conserve the environment, and encourages its users to do the same. While WD-40can be used to help protect fishing equipment from rust and corrosion,WD-40 Company does not recommend using WD-40 to attract fish.

I think he's thinking Rustoleum paint.

...which in black could solve everyone's dirty glass issues permanently

Yup. Works like a charm and is ammonia free.

I thought of trying rain x spray on type, was afraid to try it though. The stove top cleaner for ceramic glass tops might be just the ticket. I may have to try that.

 

[kenstogie]

Maybe I won't clean my glass because I like things "dirty"....Is there something wrong with that ?

Water and a rag is all I ever need. Sometimes you have to let it soak on bad stoves but that is it.
