    This may be a dumb question, BUT.... What is the best way to get the widow clean? I am driving a truck that has a front window with grey marks from the wipers ans also I cant seem to get it clear. Has a kind of haze, Always leaves lines the direction I am wiping. I have tried soap and water, windex, rainex, and gunk glass cleaner. "Is there a trick of the trade"?
    Thanks

    Rock, no rock... your choice, just remember to clean or replace the blades as well.

    Windows are a pet peeve of mine... I'll have to try that Diamondite.

    Take off the front windshield, no windshield =no problems.
    This will also give u great milage, windshields restrict the airflow. The more ait that goes through will raise the arodynamics of the truck, giving you more horse power. Pluse you'd never have to use the AC, giving you 3 more horses.
     
    Mr Ed Thanks this.

    Rubbing alcohol will work great, but I also use this and some newspaper instead of paper towels.

    The ONLY thing I have found with this stuff is in VERY hot weather, if you don't wipe it quick enough, it can lead to small streaks. If that is the case, I just do smaller spots, so I don't have to worry about it.

    I use invisible glass. I also prefer it in an aerosol can versus the spray bottle.
     
    Mr Ed Thanks this.
