I use the Stoner Invisible Glass, in the plastic pump bottle. (I don't like the aerosol cans. PLUS, I always know how much I have in the bottle). A friend of mine introduced it to me. He is a HEAVY smoker, and his windows had a "yellow" cast to them. The Stoner product, cut through the build up, with no effort, and left the glass streakless !!!!

I personally have had pretty good luck with Rain-X. However, I have noticed that Rain-X does collect more dirt than without. In all honesty, I find good old Windex to be one of the best glass products out there.

I have not tried using a clay bar on the glass.

Hey Judi,
I use Windex. However, I have towels/cloths specifically made for the windows. Leaves a streak free and lint free clean. The towels/cloths can be purchased at any autoparts store.

I have also heard using newspaper is a good trick...not lint.

Never knew that. I know the products that I use do not contain that.

Have you tried using distilled water? best for no spots on glass and chrome.
