A new windshield is the only real fix.

You can clean your windshield? Who knew? I actually do clean mine, everytime it rains, I guess you could say I am being "Green".

Replace the windshield or live with it. It's always been an issue, My YJ WS looks like a kalaidascope when the sun hits it.

? I don't have any idead where you picked up that idea, but the laminate layer in the windshield is between the sheets of glass. No cleaner is going to effect that, not even hydrosulfuric acid. If you have anything getting into that laminate you have other problems.

I don't know if anyone has noticed but the windshielf on any Jeep is the farthest away from aerodynamic as any vehicle could have. I'm new as a Jeep owner but every Jeep that i've ever seen has had that problem and it's simply because the particles impacting the glass don't relect of the glass at very much of an angle.

About 2 weeks after buying my Jeep, I started noticing it all over the windshield and then also noticed larger pits that have been fixed. Dealer simply said "Sorry, you drove it off the lot and it is a used vehicle" very dissappointed in that response.
