Yes, I protect my glass with the Liquid Glass polish in the gold can. It is some of the best I have found for glass. I machine apply it usually.
I have found that Rain-X causes window fogging, but not so with the Liquid Glass.

I have been using Liquid Glass Polish since 1979 but on other cars I have owned. I find that on metal cars it hides/fills in swirls/minor scratches.

Not so on my Corvette.
So it works on window glass too?

I used to show my '69 427 Corvette and the judges were murder on streaks on the glass. Invisible Glass allowed me to concentrate on more important things like a dog hair on the carpet. Just to be clear, Corvette show judges are the most **** people I've ever met.

I use KD Cloth with distilled water. Will make the glass appear invisible.

I have seen demos where they smear the glass with vaseline - then wipe with KD cloth. Amazingly the glass is spotless.

Saw this on YouTube the other day and since tried it, I was very happy with the results.
1. Wipe the glass with a dry microfiber towel.
2. Wet a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser sponge and clean the glass in a circular motion then go up and down in a straight line.
3. While the glass is still wet, take another clean microfiber towel and dry the glass.
4. Use your favorite glass cleaner and another microfiber towel and clean the glass again.
This method will remove the film that come from the off gassing of the plastics in the car. It sounds harder than it is and leaves a clean, streak free clean glass. It worked for me.

As long as there is nothing greasy on the glass I just used distilled water too. One trick is to clean inside glass in one direction and outside glass
in another so you can tell where the streaks are.

I have found that a solution of ammonia,rubbing alcohol and a couple drops of Dawn dish detergent work better than any commercial sprays. Also using a squeegee minimizes streaking.
