Something that has worked well for me is Meguiars #4 Heavy cut cleaner. While not specifically designed for glass or wheels, it does a good job of taking out water spots (especially on glass) and leaves behind a polished finish. Work it in good by hand or use a DA till product is worked in good, then wipe off (repeat if necessary). Leaves the glass clean and polished. Then if you wish you can go over it with your rain x etc. if you use those type of products.

You might also try Meguiars Ultimate Compound as this is very similiar and may be easier to find. I know Wally world stocks it.

I think they got it. Other's are just giving equally well advice that works, albeit, a bit safer methods.

On chrome I lightly use rubbing compound and it makes it look brand new, then go over it with a coat of wax

and it's indifferent to the rubber and plastic moldings around the windows.

Sometimes there is so much attention to the work area there is little concern for collateral damage until it too late.

That's why I tested it out on someone else's car first

I just asked this same question. I guess I should have searched on here a little deeper. Sorry about that. So I'm assuming that the liquid is the best bet?
