Agree totally--and this same discussion came up recently on one of
the BMW lists with the same answers coming forth.
My system is to use either Simple Green or "Orange Citrus" spray to
degrease and remove the heavy soil from the glass, followed by two
applications of a good, commercial glass cleaner (Not partial to
Windex myself, but not trying to make a religion out of cleaning
windows either.), which at this point is removing mostly degreaser
and de-streaking. I use blue shop towels, not paper towels as they do
a better job of removing dirt and grease without leaving lint all
over the glass.
The apply the Rain-X and buff the hell out of it... Never had the
glare problem Marin refers too--or at least have never been bothered
by it.
An other advantage of Rain-X is that the wipers work better when
used--they hardly ever get stuck midway through their wipe pattern or
move on their drive spindle when the glass is slickery with R-X.
I do like the acetone idea though, maybe I'll give it a try
tomorrow--this project has been on the agenda for a week or so.
