"IF" you havn't got any window tint, use fine grade steel wool! inside and outside. then windex or whatever. you can get that steel wool from any automotive paint supplies shop

this was my trick. The shell i bought was supposed to come with windows. Well, it came with 2, and they were in the boot, COVERED in a thick grimey crap, they were shagged. 1st step, hit them with some mineral turps or metho, get the majority of the **** off them. 2nd step, hit them with some diamond finish (or whatever) cut and polish, buff off and wipe over with a clean polishing rag its really that simple, mine have come up CRYSTAL clear.

Wat i have done in the past is to stop them fogging up iv put a light film of shampoo on the inside and for the outside iv used wax , as that makes the water bead and repel the windscreen alot easier.
