Default Rear window cleaning

No matter how much effort I put into cleaning my windows, they always seem dirty. The rear window is the worst.

When sunlight is shining through the window, it actually looks like it is slightly FROSTED --like there are tiny crystals embedded into the glass. There is nothing detectable on either the inside or outside surface.

The windows have always been like this. It is normal?

Default Polymer outgassing...

I'd clean my rear window with a razor blade if it wasn't for the defrost wires.

Default Have you tried Stoner?

Available from Detailguru.com. Worked wonders for my 98.5 QMS, and not too expensive. Get the package with the microweave cloth, and tell 'em Darren sent you . . .<ul><li><a href="http://www.detailguru.com/">http://www.detailguru.com/</a</li></ul>

Default try using windex and a newspaper, Yes a newspaper. the old lady next door was cleaning her windows

said newspapers have a chemical in it that makes glass look super glossy. I used it on my car, it looks great.
