Some people think it's a joke of a product... but I used the Amor All Auto Glass cleaner to solve that problem... worked like a charm for me

Should be about $3 at your local Wal Mart

*edit* - oops... Armor all, not Amor All

Try washing the windshield with ammonia in water. Cleans off everything! And it's a liquid, so it can't scratch anything. It dries thoroughly, too. Use it to wipe off the wiper blades, too. For an added bonus, it smells great!

Mmmmm, I can smell your seal deteriorating from here.

Another thing to do if they streak, is to clay the windshield

Well it does say to completely remove the Rain-X . I didn't mean to use an electric buffer. If you can still see a haze on the windshield you need to do some more hand buffing to get it off. A good why to tell is to wipe the wipers once and you will see if it is still on there.


BTW Rain-X now makes a glass wax.


And I have used a clay bar, ammonia, paint remover (toluene), alcohol, acetone and none would take off the hot wax that is used at car washes. The toluene would cut the wax but evaporate before you could get it all off. If you don't think you have wax on your windshield use a bit of the toluene and see for yourself. I will no longer use this and specifically ask that it not be used. If there is no way I can get my car washed without hot wax then it doesn't get washed.

is that clear coat protector that is sprayed in car washed the wax?

Gee, I said to use some ammonia in water! Not full strength, of course! Add about a cup of ammonia to a gallon of water. You put the stuff on the rag and wash the windshield, you don't dunk the whole car in the stuff!

Another old detailer's trick is to polish the glass with newsprint after the glass is clean. The printer's ink will make the glass sparkle.
