Well here is a little tip ya may not know about.
Over a short amount of time your windows will build up a layer on the exterior surface.
It consists of pollution, oil, dirt, and a variety of other stuff. This will be more prevalent if you use the drive-thru car washes due to the clear coat protectant (which is useless BTW) they spray on.
This layer is hard and the majority of glass cleaners will not remove it.
Run your finger over your glass and you can feel it.
So here is how you get rid of it:
Use Bon Ami cleanser. NOT Ajax or any other brand!!!!
Bon Ami is a very very mild abrasive and contains feldspar (The only brand of it's kind), so avoid your paint.
But it will not scratch your glass at all.
Wash your window off and on a wet rag put the BA on it to form a paste consistency.
And polish your glass. You will feel the BA cut the crap off the glass.
When done rinse it well and wash your car.
It will blow you away how much cleaner your glass is.

LOL...I don't know if it's the glass quality but it seems that my windshield is very susceptible to those pock marks compared to other cars I had.
