I have a 1994 Acura Integra. This car takes about a mile (or 2) of
driving before the heat starts working. In the in winter months, the
ice that forms on the wind shield takes a while to melt away (about 4
miles of driving). I could wait in the car about 15 minutes before the
hot air clears up the wind shield. I have cleaned all the glass (wind
sheild, car windows and rear wind sheild) with Windex. Windex does
leave some cloudy streaks. Is there any material that I can use to
clean up the wind shield (without the streaks) and prevent the long wait
during a frosty morning?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Regards,

NJ

Well, is it inside streaking? If so, ammonia will do better job of
cutting grease, smoke tar, vinyl fumes than Windex. If outside, add
Rain-X to reservoir after cleaning.

Course, it could be as simple as needing to go over the glass several
times to get all the junk off the glass.

Amazing how glass gets dirty in a car at times, huh?

Old newspapers to wipe off cleaning fluid until it doesn't steak. Use
a squeegee scraper from the auto store for outside frost while letting
the motor warm a bit.

Use Stoner Invisible Glass to clean the glass inside and outside.
Available at most auto supply stores and chain stores that have
automotive departments (Target, Wal-Mart, etc)

There also de-icer sprays available that are made for exactly what you
indicate. Look in the same places as mentioned above.
