Is glass polish recommended for windshields?

[pmay805]

I know it's hard to find glass polish in the US. I've seen it advertized in the UK (probably because it does rain a lot there). Is it recommended by this forum? Shouldn't it make the wiper blades move a lot more freely across the windshield?

Try damping the glass, then getting some paper towel and a good squirt of washing up liquid on the towel, rub the glass hard all over and rinse. Works every time for me.

Thanks Screenman. Is there any kind of washing up liquid that you would recommend?

I doubt I have used the same one twice, so no I do not have a special one.
