One thing that I always keep crystal clear on my car is the windshield. I can live with a dirty car body but the windshield should always be clean. To do this, I can use liquid dish washing soap and a toothbrush. I use the toothbrush to scrub the edge of the glass where the rubber seal is. I avoid drying the soap on the glass and you can use a hose with running water to keep the glass wet. If there are stubborn marks on the glass, you could use toothpaste as a rubbing compound to remove the stain.

If I see that the oil film on the glass can’t be removed by soap, I use a glass cleaner solution. I use Armor All because it’s available almost everywhere and it’s strong enough to remove stubborn stains and I can use it on the inside of the windshield with tint on it. Although I would advise first to try it out on a small area. I have also tried a product by Soft 99. I think it is called wiper tech and it comes in an aerosol can. All you do is spray it on the glass and you could see it foam up all the dirt, and the grime fall off. Although I rarely see it now, in case you chance upon it, try it out. I also clean the side mirrors this way. After awhile the edges of the side mirror are full of watermarks. After the glass is cleaned thoroughly, I use Rain X to prevent water from clinging onto the glass.
