Fist, I love TN!

Alright to my questions: Whats the best way to clean my windshield? I cant seem to get a streak free clean!

And, Lately Ive noticed a ton of spiders crawling aroung my truck. I would flick them off the truck but never really paid any attention to them. Till the other day when I found one in the cab of the truck. I cant believe one of them got in. Should I be worried about anything with this? or is there a way to keep them from getting into or onto my truck? Thanks

Hedgeballs, available in the produce department in a grocery store possibly, are supposed to keep spiders away. My mom and my brother both set them around their places. I am not sure if my cat will try to eat them, so I don't use them.

I clean all my glass with a damp microfiber towel, with a dry microfiber towel to dry.

Stoner's Windshield cleaner works wonders.

On the outside I like to use Chrome Polish. It goes on kinda like wax, but I rub it in a little more. Then wipe off with a towel.

The only problem I've found with wax-like products on windshields is if they're badly pitted, you can get residue stuck in the pits.

Did you just said what I think you just said?

I think PB means Mothers Chrome Polish. It's a non-gritty formula and it is excellent for exterior glass. I don't know if there are other brands that are formulated for glass (I know many are not), but Mothers Chrome Polish is excellent -- try it with a PowerBall.

Pretty much any brand of Chrome Polish seems to work fine.
