I am selling my car this weekend, I just had a new windshield
installed today. Man it looks great, I cant ever remember being able to see
that good. It cost nothing, the insurance company paid 100% due to the rock
chip that was in the line of sight. Apparently they will not do a patch in
line of sight.
So the best way to clean it is to replace it.

Your insurance company may actually be willing to pay for it. Hard to
believe but true.
