You can also slice a potato in half and wipe the potato all over the glass, then wipe it clean. Works like Rain-X too. I always buy the Rain-X brand washer fluid, you get the same results and you never have to put anything on the windsheild. Unless you never use the washers.

those are good looking gauges but that's a piss poor way to sell them. I do like how they look, though :waytogo:

Thank you Old77, I feel the same way. I had a big long post about it, and that turned into my never mind post. I didn't feel like being an "internet bully" earlier.

Black and white news paper and glass cleaner does a great job on glass. The carbon in the black ink is the key I think. They have carbon tipped lens cleaners for expensive camera lenses too.

Haven't tried the potato idea, very cool.

How about wiping the inside of the windshield with a cheese-cloth bag containing bulldurum tobacco. That keeps the glass from fogging. Liquid soap on a sponge does the same thing in a pinch.

I always did the liquid soap thing on my goggles as a kid when I would go swimming. Worked like a champ to keep them from fogging up.

I will add my "Meh" vote to the thread as well for the public record.

On the newspaper thing I use to do that until I saw it actually start to leave scratches in the glass so I stopped doing that.
