What is the recommended and best method to clean the windshield, both outside and inside and the rest of the glass in my new MB please? I do not want to damage the glass and wish to keep it scratch free as possible. Thank you!
As a general rule, use "Ammonia-Free" products, since ammonia doesn't play nicely with flexible rubber gaskets or window tinting film.
For the outside I use the same clay bar I use on the paint. Then I use the same car wax I advised in my last post. For the inside I usually put a light coat of the same wax. You'll only need a dry micro fiber towel to do the inside after that.
For taking the time to share your methods. Much appreciated.
Newspaper is the best to clean windows with. I spray a little bit of auto glass cleaner (not household windex, etc due to the above mentioned ammonia) and then wipe with a fresh page of USA Today. Works better than any cloth I've tried, plus it's cheap and you just throw away the paper instead of laundering dirty towels. For the inside windows and mirrors, same idea except that I spray the glass cleaner on the newspaper first to avoid overspray on the dash and seats.
Yes newspaper has been a tried and true method of cleaning any glass for centuries now! Learned it from my grandparents.

Hello again Bill...
I've found that using a good glass cleaner, such as "Invisible Glass" along with a couple of clean Micro-Fiber towels does a nice job.
