I used some of the Auto Armor All In One polish on my glass shower doors and it did a fantastic job. I wouldn't have tried it on a windshield yet but was happy that it worked as well as the Griot's Glass Polish (at least on the shower door).

I have used the Griot's Glass Polish on my wife's windshield and was impressed by the results.

I have that pad. What I did was I used the Lake Country Leveling Discs which come with the system (which includes the glass polish and a backing plate for the discs). After removing the scratches with the glass polish and the leveling discs I used the glass polish with the pad above thinking that may make the glass even clearer. I really didn't notice much of a difference really. The polish with the leveling discs really doesn't leave a haze on the glass like I assumed it would.

The next time I polish glass I may use the glass polish on the leveling discs on one half of the windshield and the glass polish on the pad above on the other half of the windshield and see what happens.

If the glass has hard water spots, can we use a heavy cut polish like Menzerna to buff them out in this case? The glass otherwise is fine.

The first time I used Megs 101 on a wool pad and it did remove the water spots. Another time, it did not. All it can guess is that the second time, the water spots were worse and/or had been on the glass longer and therefore had etched deeper than Meg 101 could do much about. So, I would recommend giving your most aggressive compound on your most aggressive pad and see what happens. If it doesn't work, then you can decide if you want to invest in glass polish and glass pads.
