Invisible glass is available at Costco in Canada. If you can't find any let me know.

+1 for the Stoner Invisible Glass. I've also tried their rain repellent version for the windshield and it, too, is excellent.

Best bet is to order online. I'm not sure how the shipping is handled for Canada though.

Yes, that's how I get it now, and I have it shipped to Ogdensburg, N.Y. - I wouldn't want to find out about shipping to Canada with it being an aerosol and a chemical. It's just such a consumable now at my house it would be nice to buy it at the same place I get my milk, bread and eggs from - you know - add xenit to that and you have the staples required for life...

Another +1 for Stoner Invisible Glass - works great for me! I go through it quickly as my long commute is into the sun mornings and afternoons.

This will sound strange. Ultra fine steel wool does not damage glass. Used with Stoners and cheap paper towels or worn out bath towels is easy and perfect every time.

I don't think I would try that on a 993's windshield - it has to be the softest glass of any windshield I've ever seen. At any rate, this was recently discussed in the concours and car care section:

I said it would seem strange. I now have my 7th 911, a 993tt. This is the only way I have cleaned my glass. Try a small spot if you like and then judge. It also works on MB glass, which is the softest glass of all the cars I've owned.
