Seems to be a problem getting the windshield clean. The inside has streaking no matter what I do & the outside has what looks like water spotting all over. I even clayed the window using vinager solution. The inside is 95% better but the outside could be alot better.
Any help as to whqat else I can do??.

Is it a greasy film on the outside? Try cutting the film with Simple Green or Dawn. Rinse well then finish with your regular window cleaner. (I use Invisible Glass or Zep commercial glass cleaner.) Lint-free glass microfiber works well to eliminate streaks, but you'll want the type made specifically for glass. Even better is newspaper stock if you can get your hands on some without print.

000 or 0000 steel wool works very well to remove blemishes on the glass. It will not scratch. I just removed water spots by spraying with detailing spray, then gently scrubbing with the wool. Follow up with any of the above glass cleaning methods for streak free results.

I use "Bon-Ami" and a natural fiber scrubbing brush. Be gareful.
Bon-Ami is kinda like Comet cleanser and would be next to it in the grocery store,hardware, etc, but IT WILL NOT SCRATCH the glass. This is very important. Never use Comet or anything else. Only use Bon-Ami. Clean the glass just like you are scrubbing your bath-tub except just put the powder on the wetted brush and go from there.

A dedicated glass polish (such as from Griot's Garage) used with a random orbital polisher will take care of the exterior glass hard water spotting, much better than white vinegar. Use a small hand pad with the polish to get in the corners.

A haze on the inside of the windshield is to be expected of new cars and also ones that are often detailed as the cleaning/conditioning products "out gas." Regular glass cleaners such as Windex will work fine.
