Keeping the glass clean.

I have used Napa soap to clean my windshield & mirrors and then applied rain X. Does anyone else have suggestions for keeping the mirrors from collecting water, making it hard to see. During todays rain (Detroit) I had a tough time seeing cars that did not have their lights on. (There ought to be a law about that, like in NY.)

Larry, I use rain-x on the mirrors as well as side windows, seems to work great for me.

Larry, Michigan passed into law last year that headlights are to be turned on during rain. People just do not read the signs on the road.

Its now time to replace our windshield on the truck. It is so pitted the wipers are not working properly. Any ideas where to go for the best deal?

Best summertime glass cleaner I have found is Fantastik- desolves the bugs like acid with minimal clouding.
I use clean DRY cotton rags to clean mirrors in the winter. A bit O' spit gets the salt off, and if kept dry they don't cloud up during trips with extreme temperature changes. Don't use anything that will leave a residue on glass in the winter.

My codriver has an obsession with clean windows. I kid him by saying he can't sleep well knowing there is a dead bug carcass on the windsheild. So I usually don't have to worry about clean windows.

When I run single I just pull up to the fuel island and turn the wipers on and spray the garden hose directly at the windsheild. After a minute or two the bugs are gone and the windshield is clean.
