What stuff do you guys use to get your outer windshields clean? I don't just mean the occasional Windex treatment to remove bugs, I'm talking about the waxy stuff that builds up over time and streaks in the rain, reducing visibility. I'm having a hard time getting that crap off. Any tips appreciated.

 

rain x or regular trips to car wash

 

Wash your car often, and you might need new wipers.

I use one of those bug scrubber sponges on the windshield, and it seems to work great!

 

If you REALLY want to clean the windshield, then I recommend using a Porter Cable buffer along with the windshield cleaner attachment. There is a kit available that comes with all of the necessary products.

00 grade steel wool is what i use.

 

goto walmart, and go to the auto paint dept, and look for 3m adhesive and wax remover. this thing will dissolve the bug and tar, and all you have to do is spray and wipe. and then clean with your regular cleaner. becarful not to get any on the paint, or else you'll have to wax the max.(nothing wrong with that acutally.)

 

my dad got this stuff from nissan, it came in a detailing kit or something like that, but i dont no what it is called but it is like a blue paste and it works very well its hard to tell if your window is open or shut

 

Clay bar it?

 

+ 1 on steel wool, it works wonders & many body repair shops use it to remove overspray from glass. I have used it many times & it's like looking through a brand new piece of glass. That is ofcourse as long as the glass hasen't been pitted from a sand storm!!!

 

Wrong forum.

 

i just bought mine and it got crappy windshield i havent had time to wash my car. cause its been raining.. since i got it. ima try the rain x

 

The rain-x will just add stuff to repel it won't clean it any, its like waxing your glass.

 

Thanks for the replies. That glass polish treatment looks good, but I'll give the steel wool treatment a go to start with.

 

I have used Bon-Ami scrubbing powder with good results.......does not sctatch & removes the goo
