    Ok folks, need some help here. I have started driving the Mav a little and I have alot of water deposits that will not clean off of my windshield. I've tried windex and acouple of other glass cleaners, some stuff called "no problem" and vinegar and none of that is doing the trick. Is there any old time remedies out there. Thanks,
    Tomm

    Most any hardware store will carry it. Try Home Depot or Lowes or your favorite local hardware store.

    I personally use some stuff called "Bar Keeper's Friend," it's a powder, you put it on a wet sponge and lightly scrub the glass, does wonders. You can find it at the grocery store in the cleaning isle.
