Don't - use detailing clay instead ...

Any 'mart' store will carry a clay kit. The kit will contain a clay bar as well as a lubricating spray (no, not WD40).

Not sure clay is what you want though... What are you trying to clean off of the glass?

Well looks like water marks (like when it rains and you have a water line down the side of your car) my truck sat a the dealer for almost a year before i bought it and it looks like the windshield is dirty on the inside but it is on the outside.

I had the EXACT same thing. It is some sort of wax from an automatic car wash your dealership took it thru. KABOOM is the only thing that worked for me. Does it feel rough when you rub your fingers over the windshield? If so, I'd try that. Just my

How about some punctiation?

Soft scrub should work. Use a damp cloth and just put a dab of it on the cloth. Scrub as necessary, and wipe dry with a seperate cloth. Then clean the window like normal.

Is the soft scrub a paste or spray? I use the paste. VERY abberasive. Thats why you keep it off the paint. If you have a spray, it might not have the "scrubbers" like paste does. Any of that make sence?

Looks like the Kaboom worked just mixed it up to a past and rubbed it on the windshield and whiped it off then went threw the carwash and it is good as new thanks for the help.

Bon Ami powdered cleanser. And it doesn't kill your paint.
