Default Cleaning Windshield

Hi My windshield and I are having a problem.
I have a combination of water spots and just good olde road film all over it.
I have tried vinegar without much luck.

Anything out there to really clean a windshield?

Thanks
Steven

You can also use invisible glass. It cleans glass like no other, I use it on all my windows including my windshield and it does the trick. The problem with Windex is that it leaves streaks, and can be harmful to your windows if their tinted, so i'd try invisible glass....

If the Windex and Newspaper don't work, try Simple Green. The only down side is that it leaves a film of its own so you have to follow with a Windex chaser. Cuts right through road grime and bugs though!

Like Phillyblunt said: Use newspaper and windex or window cleaner of your choice. I use the classified, with less pictures on it.

Waterspots are caused from hard water drying fast. Clean the windows in the shade. The reason for using newspaper is it doesn't leave any lint of any kind on the window. I use "rainex" afterwards. Fresh "Rainex" also makes your wipers last longer when your use them.
