Try giving the glass a final buffing with newspaper. Doesn't leave lint
behind and gets it extra clean. If you must drive, keep those windows
clean!

You really just need a new windshield. All the glare is from the pits
in the glass. There is no cure.

I know it's a tough nut to crack - in Bend we go through this a lot -
but just do what has to be done. Try to look at it this way, it's a lot
cheaper than wrecking your car. Or worse yet injuring someone.



Some insurance companies realize this too, you may look into whether
yours offers any incentives.

Most insurance companies/policies will allow one windshield replacement per year--check with yours. Reason: so you don't have an accident and kill yourself or somone else. At minimum any accident is going to cost the ins. much more than a windshield. Just replace it!

Coming from an aviation background I learned a long
time ago that good old Lemon Pledge worked great on
plexiglass windscreens. I know it isn't plexiglass but
I also use it on my vehicles... works great! Inside
and out.

Typically the blurring on the inside of the windshields is caused be the
toxic out gassing of the materials in the cabin of the car. That is why
normal glass cleaners will not work. I have had success with Clorox
Cleanup which is not quite as toxic.

I use a quality multi-purpose cleaner such as Glass Plus. The cheaper
glass cleaners are only ammonia and water, which doesn't work very
well.

Then I follow it up with a cleaning/treatment of RainX anti-fog. Not
only will your windshield be sparkling clean but it will stay clean
longer and not fog or frost as easily.

Okay, I really hate to do this, endorse a product, but, GM glass
cleaner, you can get it in the part department of a GM car dealership,
will take care of this chore wonderfully. It's five bucks but it cleans
that stuff off really well. I don't know what they put in it, (kerosene
maybe???), but try it.
