Anyone try the Rain-X deep-cleaning windshield kit? Work better than
regular liquid glass cleaners and scrubbers? I have a large number of tiny
'lumps' on my windshield. They only show up if I'm driving into the sun in
the morning or evening but annoying then.

Haven't priced or looked for a source for the kit yet.

Suggestions?

TIA

Haven't used the kit. My preference for cleaning glass is to use
sudsy ammonia*, warm water and a micro-fiber cloth. Works well for
cleaning grime off windshields and inside the windows. The sudsy
ammonia is not the original concentrate; not does it smell like it.

• Do not use on a car window with UV protection or tinting - ammonia
will remove it. *

I've not had any problem.

I used it many years ago. It was just a cheap
squeeze bottle. One rubbed it on and then polished
it off. I was impressed with it. It works by coating
nicks and scratches to reduce refraction of light.
You just have to recoat occasionally.

Have you tried scraping those lumps off with something? Credit card, razor
blade, ice scraper.....

Fingernail, ice scraper, and one of those scrubber/sqeegees
like you see at filling stations. No success.

Go to an auto glass shop and tell them it's safety issue - the lumps
distract the driver when the sun hit them. You are not lying. If you notice
them when the sun hits them, then they are distracting you.

Have the shop replace the windshield and handle the insurance claim.

You do have full glass coverage, don't you?

I've lived with desert sand pitted windshield. I've used auto car wax with
mild results. I also have wiper streaks. I bought some of this, but not
have tried it yet.

Any reputable shop would clean them off.

Try the razor blade.

I've used Rain-X glass cleaner and it removed the road film much better than
Windex or other typical glass cleaners. Then I applied Rain-X, polished it
out, and it caused the water to bead up during rain storms, improving
visibility. Now I used a Rain-X wiper fluid that does much the same thing
but with not additional effort

I'm in the midst of changing auto insurance companies. I don't think this
is an appropriate time for an expensive claim.

Looked around and don't have one, except Schick Hydro blades for a razor
which are too small to use conveniently. I do have some unused blades for
my box cutter. Anyone see a problem?

Yes, possibly. Some windshields will scratch easily. Best to try it
on a spot off to the side where it won't bother you if it does
scratch.
