I find myself cleaning the front windshield all the time. After each cruise the windshield appears to be covered with film and grim, and I must clean it after I park the Kat. Yet my other car’s windshield (a truck) never bothers me if it’s dirty. Am I going crazy or just obsessed?

My experience seems consistent with yours. I have more small stonechips on GRROWL's windshield after 33,000 miles than any other car I have ever owned, one of which had 160,000 with more highway driving. I'd say it's the aerodynamics.

KCat - I agree with GRROWL, after 21,000 miles, mine looks like a road map! NEVER can keep it clean either

I've used "gold Seal" glass wax for nearly 30 years now. It is the absolute best(and easiest)product
to use on glass.Comes in a pink can, takes all of the film off on your windshield and it will look brand new, I guarantee it!
If you have trouble finding the stuff,email me and I'll tell you where to get it.

Thanks JRL,

I will look for the product you recommend. I am looking for something better then Windex and Goal Seal just may be the ticket.

I guess when the top & windows are down the only glass between me and the world is the front windshield, must be why it is never clean enough.

Thanks Again

KC,
You might want to try Zaino glass cleaner. It has a mild abrasive and can be applied with a power polisher. It definitely cuts through ALL the grime down to the glass, polishes the glass and even gets out some minor chips.

-GRROWL

P.S. - Stupid question - it IS the OUTSIDE, isn't it? I have more of an issue with film on the INSIDE from all of the vinyl dressings, leather conditioners, etc.

You don't need to use the Zaino unless your glass is pitted or has other problems. Believe me, this Gold Seal is great stuff. As I said, I've been using it all my life. Was given the idea by the greatest living detailer when I lived in So Cal years ago.
Available in "Home Trends" catalog of cleaning stuff.

Rich, yes, you use this stuff with a good cloth, like you get from pep boys, it takes off all the "cleaner" and leaves it totally clear.

I'm open-minded and willing to try it.

Had the Protectall out anyway for the interior and exterior rubber, so I tried it on the glass as well.

I'll report on my experience after some use and some rain.

Gold Seal glass wax can be bought out of the "Home Trends" Catalog.
Their phone number is: 1(800) 810 2340
The item number is: 018001-$6.95 or two for $13.00
Well worth it as you'll never see your glass any cleaner, streak and swirl free
