I agree. Steel wool= bad.
My mom is a dental hygenist, and whenever I would get a scratch in my watches, she would put a dab of plain toothpaste (crest original, usually) and then wipe it with a soft cloth. It worked quite well for small scratches once it dried. Something to try, anyway. Let me know how it works!

1 cup sudsy ammonia (I prefer lemon)
1 pint rubbing alcohol (higher % the better)
1 tablespoon dishwashing liquid (add this last to hold down on the foam)
Enough distilled water to make a gallon

I'd rather buy glass cleaner instead of buying all the above and a spray bottle and a mixing bucket, then having to play chemist mixing it all up, then have to store it all somewhere, but that's just me.

Ken -
I hear ya, but I've found this formula to be superior to Windex (which also won't do your wax job any good if you get carried away with spraying).
I've been re-using the same distilled water jug and spray bottles for years, so there's no bucket or bottle puchases involved for me. I just refill the bottles, and whip up a new batch when needed.
If you don't want to use it on your car windows, it still works great on house windows/mirrors. I got tired of paying $$$ for commercial cleaners and not being happy with the results.
