Smittys Glass Wax

What this product does: -Cleans lenses and leaves behind a crystal clear coating that lasts at least several days for me. I generally re-apply weekly but its almost or completely gone by then depending on frequency of cleaning. YMMV on the durability/duration of the coating. -I get smudges by my glasses bridge/nose pad area really badly and have to clean multiple times a day as a result. I find with a fresh application of this wax that I have to clean less often and it is much easier to get a haze free finish when I do. What this product does not do: -Repair scratches. Why anybody is marking this down for NOT doing something that it makes NO claims to do is baffling. Its almost like they didn't bother to read the product description.... or maybe their glasses were just too dirty 😜. Yes, I realize AMAZON is marking this as their choice of "glasses scratch remover", but they are just the marketplace and they have clearly put this in a category it doesn't belong. Now, having said that, I find it does make scratches less noticeable to some extent. I have several extremely fine micro scratches on my glasses and they become almost invisible unless I have the glasses at a certain angle and in the right light with this applied. The larger scratches are still visible, of course, but are "softer" if that makes sense. To reiterate: The scratches are still there, they are just less visible when this is applied. -Scratch lenses. Some reviewers claim this can scratch your lenses. There are no abrasives in this. There is nothing in this TO leave scratches. I'm going to guess they were using dirty cleaning cloths, or their lenses had some kind of dirt they didn't clean off first? If you're getting any kind of grit(mud, sand, dirt, etc) on your lenses, rinse that stuff off before wiping them down. If you don't, you're just using sandpaper.

I first came across this stuff when a street vendor in San Diego yelled to me as I was walking by and offered to clean my glasses. They were super clean when handed back to me and they told me that this stuff would keep them clear longer and make them resistant to smudges and dust. I told them I'd see how it held up and maybe come back later. As a general note, I'm super bothered by lack of lens clarity in my glasses. I usually walk around with a few packets of pre-moistened lens wipes in my pocket. I don't usually carry microfiber cloths because I've found they seem to stop working once used a few times. Well it's been almost a year since I ran into that street vendor and I finally got around to buying some of this stuff and I gotta say. It works really well. I now clean my glasses with a quick wipe from a microfiber cloth and they're super clear right away. I actually don't use the pre-moistened ones anymore because they seem to pull the layer of this stuff off. One of the top review pictures is of someone claiming this stuff heinously scratched their lenses. I don't know how that could have happened but it's been the exact opposite of my experience. Again, I am obsessed with lens clarity (reasonable since it's how I see the entire world), I replace glasses if they ever get scratched at all and I think this stuff is great. I just applied it to my macbook screen as well and it looks good there too.

To start with, this wax does not actually prevent smudges, scratches, dust or dirt on eyeglass lenses, nor does it repel dust and dirt from getting on them for weeks, as claimed. Minus a whole star for that. What it does do, however, is that once lenses are thoroughly cleaned with mild soapy water, Zeiss wipes, etc., and a thin coat of the wax is applied and rubbed clean with the supplied microfiber cloth, wiping away subsequent smudges is much easier with just the cloth. And when that doesn’t work anymore – most likely in a few days, but certainly not weeks – it’s simply time for another deep cleaning and a new coat of wax. It’s expensive, no doubt about it, but the tube should last a quite a while if used sparingly and applied to eyeglass lenses as directed. If you’re using the wax on phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, full length mirrors, and every glass surface you can find, then no, it’s not going to last long at all.

Doesn’t work as advertised. I chose this because it had a higher rating…. I was hoping it would help prevent or smooth out scratches. It does neither. It cleans the lenses, but that’s about it.

I wasn't really sure what to expect with this. I bought it after seeing the infomercial on tv for the other stuff that is similar but after reading the reviews decided I'd rather try Smitty's. I'm glad I did. This is a really good product that does a great job of cleaning and keeping our computers and tablets fingerprint and dust free. I am going to try it on the screen in the car next and I'm sure it will work as well there. I hate all the fingerprints on that screen. It really does only take a tiny tiny amount. For my 9 inch tablet screen I used two drops, it feels like it won't be enough when you start to use it but as you rub it across it spreads easily enough and it wipes off really easily. I'll also be using it on my glasses. I love knowing they'll stay cleaning and I won't be looking through dirt and fingerprints all day. Is there a con to this? Not that I've found. I know one review I read said that it builds up, it is a wax so I imagine after long term use it will but for myself I'll just use a good glass cleaner and I'm sure it will come right off. In a pinch you can make your own with diluted ammonia or diluted vinegar.

Yes, it really works. I love smoking cigars, and I'm lucky to be able to do so in my office at home whenever I please. But let's face it, the smoke wreaks havoc on my glasses' lenses. I'm accustomed to cleaning them 5-6 times a day (or more) - and typical cleaning solutions don't cut through the oily residue from the cigar smoke so well anyway. And then I bought a bottle of Smitty's Glass Wax. It's a game changer! Not only is it far superior at cleaning my glasses, but it keeps them clean muuuuuch longer. And a little goes a long way. I still clean them once a day, not that they're nearly as badly smudged after a full day as they would be just an hour or two after using a regular cleaning solution. But I can imagine only needing to clean them once or twice a week with Smitty's if not for the smoke. Oh, and it's great on my phone's screen too!

Fantastic glass cleaner! So easy to use and helps keep my glasses cleaner than ever.

It works very well as a cleaner and makes it easier to wipe glasses or screens subsequent times. Glasses dont get dusty as quick. Computer screens come out nice and clear. Phone screens dont smudge as easy and makes your finger glide nice and smooth. The stuff is a bit on the pricy side which is the only reason for not getting 5 stars. It does last a very long time though and does not need to be applied every time you wipe you glasses or screen. The cloth you use to wipe retains some of the product and can be used to clean and reapply the stuff. I will buy again though.
