Amonia (windex-like) worked pretty good for me so far, I mean for the contaminants, mineals, bird poop, mozzies

Can anyone debug this onto a test glass please?
1. Put the glass in night condition facing incoming traffic/lights
2. scratch it good with steel
3. repeat no. 1 test.

If nobody is able to demonstrate a "true clarity test" I won't be the one who will scratch my windshield with steel to find out lollll
Nine8six, in my rudimentary research done before my original post, I found that:
- There's grades of steel wool, and "0000" grit is lower on the scale than auto glass, and therefore can't scratch it, theoretically.
- Ammonia-based cleaners are not good for car glass for different reasons.

Still I wasn't sure, hence this post. Good to know others use it with positive results!
