Well, I am familiar with the trick of using newspaper and windex on windows and yes, it works well. But I still feel that there is something else going on here. In an earlier thread I asked if anyone had a solution and got the feeling that I am more focused on this problem than just about everybody. One poster said that the hard-to-get-off film is a waxy combination of petroleum gook. I believe this.
What I do know is that a thorough cleaning with cloth and soap, followed by ammonia, and then even alcohol, does not remove this film. I was looking for an alternative to using chrome polish with works, but is a pain in the @$$ to do. the message I have for anyone who might know what I'm talking about is that soap and paper seem to work, if you apply some firmness. MUCH easier and more convenient than chrome polish.
And for anyone still reading: Even after ammonia and alcohol, you can easily see this gook crumble up and come off, when using chrome polish, so I'm not just imagingin this.
And finally, here is the goal: Rain-X is really cool stuff, but it causes wipers to streak. When a clean wiper moves across a truly clean windshield, the glass is crystal clear 1/2" behind the wiper. Instant clean. No streaking, not even for an instant. Rain-X works better than anything except a truly clean windshield.
FWIW
