Nice!! And with your car being quite new anyway, it must look and feel just like new!!
I'm gonna do the same with mine when I get home from this trip we're on. Haven't found a glass cleaner that will effextively remove waterspots, esp on the rear window. Is the Autoglym any good? I think we can get that here...
