windshield haze, help

[dinosaur1]

I used to use Rain X but it made a rock chip even worse. Once in a while I will use Meguiars Ultimate Quix Wax, but it's not too effective. I'm looking for something that will not harm the windshield, but will provide me a better way to look out of my windshield when it's raining or snowing.

I frequently change my wiper blades (Always buy Anco 31), and I keep my '05 Highlander very clean. When it rains the driver's and passenger's side look hazy on the outside almost to a point where its hard to see out. The weird part is its crystal clear in the middle.

Any help is appreciated.

I use Xpress wax on all my customers cars and they love it.personaly I use Rani X on my own vehicals with no problems.You can always polish the glass with Cerium Oxide.do a search and you find how to do it.

I use a product called aquapel. It's been referred to as rain x on steroids. I put it on last may and it is still going strong! It's a little different than rain x to apply, you DON'T want to let it dry to a haze before wiping it off so you want to be prepared for it. As for the hazing, I recently picked up a product by glass science called glass scrub off of auto geek. I haven't gotten a chance to use it yet but it is supposed to really scrub and deep clean the exterior glass. I was going to use it when I finally need to re-apply some aquapel to give it a super clean surface to bond to. Not sure how any of it will affect your rock chip though...

I've used this and it's good cleaner, not realy a glass polish though as in removing defects.
But it might be what you need
If you need somthing stronger, Cerium Oxide is the next step.

I didn't mean to imply that it might help in removing the rock chip, but it sounded like for some reason, maybe even just coincidence that rain x made their chip worse. I meant that the glass scrub probably won't make it worse like the rain x seemed to, and it might help with the hazing issue, that's all. Thanks for the positive feedback on the glass scrub though, it's good to know I didn't waste my money!!
