Default windows

I had my windows replaced for my 04 ss because of discoloring of the windows. And now I am noticing the color again any suggestions? Could it be from the water? I use window cleaner that is amonia free.

On the glass I wouldn't worry about it, just don't use anything with ammonia or alcohol on plastic. What are you useing to wipe it down?What color is it turning?

Try stoners Invisible glass. I use this on all my glass and it does a great job, bettter than any cleaner I've ever used.

no i use just non amonia glass cleaner. The color looks like an oily color it happened to all of my windows before but not its my front and back only. If its just water spots whats the best way to get them off

If it's water spots it's likely actually etched into the surface of the glass. Use some kind of glass wax to protect it is about all you can do. Removing it means polishing the glass which is a serious pain. Get a cheap cover, just something to cover the car if it sits outside. Sprinkler systems can leave hard water deposits on the paint, and the glass, eventually etching it.
