Try good old Windex, with vinegar. Otherwise, I'm keen on the Invisible Glass from Stoner. Polish with a crumpled piece of newspaper (really).

Yep, Invisible Glass works great. I also use this stuff called Dirtex that I get at Home Depot in the aisle with Windex and other cleaners. Like Invisible Glass, Dirtex cleans great and no streaks at all. Pretty much those two are all we use on our cars and also our windows at home.

A tiny bit of Oil-X (5 MLs) and 1 L of water..newspaper and the cleanest window you you will ever see.

Don't forget to clean your wiper blades when you do the glass... Good maintenance here will eliminate or help to avoid streaks and poor performance.

Of course, one ride to work behind a truck or bus (diesel engine) will mung things up again, but... wink

I'm noticing some serious spots on my glass too - I'll have to try out some of these suggestions. I used to just use a 3M "kitchen scrubber" sponge (with the green, rought stuff) and some hot, soapy water...

If all else fails use a razor blade held flat against the surface of the glass to scrape off the spots.

The best thing for window spots is to clean your glass with what ever glass cleaner you thinks best, and wiping it with news paper..>>>>>No more streaks
