Default Am I the last one to discover this?

First off make me a promise you guys won't laugh. I've been doing windshield repair for I think about 15 years along with other auto reconditioning services much longer. I started W/S in the late 80's or 1990. But took a 3-4 year break. Started back up again a year ago. Anyway enough of that. I'm just saying that to say this, I just learned something so simple. it's weird I didn't get it years ago.

Here's what it is: After scraping a finished repair, just spray the windshield cleaner right over all the shavings that are still on the windshield and then just wipe off. What I did for years was try to gather most of the shavings with my razor blade and shake them on the ground away from the vehicle. Then windexed the remaining few left on. One day about a month ago, I accidently sprayed before I did that and I said, "dang it!" But then discovered the rag easily collected most all the shavings in one or two swipes

I was more or less self taught, so that's not the only elementary thing I learned since coming to this forum, but I don't want to share all my stupid at once!
