Default Removing wax from windows?

Any ideas? Anyone? I am talking about wax sprayed on windows in carwash. Those droplets are driving me crazy!!

Some members here have recommended cleaning the glass with Bon Ami to get it really clean.

I'd likely try that first, but I use Rain-X and would just apply another coat.

Try household white vinegar mixed in equal volumes with water. It will clean you wiper blades too.

Automotive clay bar works wonders too.

Be careful! There are two different Bon Ami products. They have a Cleanser and a Cleaning Powder. You want the Cleaning Powder. I've usually seen it at hardware stores in a shorter rectangular can (sort of shaped like a can of Spam).

Check out the wording of the two products on the Bon Ami web site. It's the Cleaning Powder that talks about cleaning glass.

Good luck!
Larry.

I haven't been able to find either locally, and won't pay shipping that's double the price of the product, so I just keep using Rain-X and wax it good.
