    Keeping these clean just to a safe standard drives me nuts, hate having muckit windows. Has anyone any recommendations for first getting them grease free and perhaps any product that helps keep dirt at bay? I try not to use my wipers for clearing anything but rain etc since bugs and muck just seems to smear and that's worse.

    Just noticed my sig thingy has disappeared!

    Dear Lord, If you wont make me skinny, please make my friends fat-very Fat.

    I use AG fast glass inside and I polish and seal the outside windows with Carlack kit. On the motorway the rain just blasts off, its amusing the first time you see it…anything over sixty and apart from the very light rain you don’t need the wipers much.

    You have to watch the BMW washer fluid, it kills it slowly but the other windows last for months.

    Bug splats not too sure but for rain fantastic.

    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!

    I finally went and bought some Rain-x Glass Cleaner which also acts as a water repellant. IMO it works as good as the standard Rain-x repellant and as a 2 in 1 combo its pretty good. Got rid of my squeeky wiper problem too! Also got the anti fog wipes which are awsome too!
