Windows??

Of course there is the undisputed Windex that is just simply amazing...

However what I want to achieve is try to "polish"/cover up the tiny scratches and dimples that have become more noticeable over the years. I was thinking Rain-X? but I have not tried it yet, and was wondering if anyone has tried achieving this and what products have you tried?

I have never tried this, but its a thought...

What about the CD repair stuff? If it works for cleaning up the scratches on a CD for a laser to be able to see through it, I would think that it would work on windows too...

Just a thought...

Yeah, thats an idea...

I'm going to do more research on this, I was hoping to find something like a "clear wax" or similar that would smooth out all the "imperfections" on the windshield.

a high end polymer wax might do it...Then again, I wax all my glass anyway, and Ive gotten lucky with scratchless side glass....

I use stoner invisible glass to keep my windows clean, but i have some bad water spots that stoner (or windex) can not get rid of. Oh and to polish glass i have used some sort of glass polish but it looked pretty horrible with the water spots and the tiny dimples in the glass.
