    Based on personal experience, what do you guys recommend for the best glass cleaner? I'm tired of seeing streaks/spots after cleaning my windshield. Windex sucks.

    Invisible Glass with Rain Repellent is great also. I haven't found it in the aerosol can yet just the trigger sprayer. I use it on the outside & the original on the inside.

    x3 on the sprayway. I got some invisible glass and I'm liking the sprayway better. I just never get any streaking with the sprayway, but I do with invisible glass. Another one that seems to get really good reviews is the armor-all brand. Surprising, but guys on Autogeek really like the stuff. And rain-x glass spray... Poor reviews.

    Do either of these products work well against mineral etching? The acid rain has taken a toll on my glass and even vinegar isn't pulling it off...

    I've had great results with this product from mothers. It's just for exterior glass.

    Try the CRL Sparkle available on Amazon. I bet it will remove the spots for you. My bro got a used 4Runner awhile back. Glass covered in spots. Nothing would remove the water spots and the sparkle got it right out.
