On the outside : Bar Keepers Friend powder or a strong solution of warm water and Soda Crystals, hosed off and buffed up with a microfibre cloth.

Bar Keepers Friend is great, you can feel it digging in and lifting all kinds of dirt off the screen but it won't scratch or damage the surface.

On the inside, any supermarket glass cleaner that contains vinegar and buffed up with a microfibre cloth.  :y

[ Pedantic mode on ] does it remove stone chips? [off] :D




Looking closely at mine, it's absolutely peppered with very small stone chips. Like a million pins have been thrown up at the screen. Time for a call to national windscreens :( Autoglass not used under Admiral multi car. :(

[pedant mode back on] a stone chip is technically already something removed from your windscreen namely some glass.  Brasso removes stuff it will not add glass to your windscreen [pedant mode off]

Halfords do a product called Intensive Glass Cutter. Its like T-Cut, bur for glass - works well but is quite hard work to buff. I follow this with Autoglym Glass Polish, then Dodo Juice Supernatural glass sealant.
