I've heard they do ceramic coat car windows don't know if this would help on home windows.

Rain x? Wash them with DI water to avoid spots

Had our guy do the ceramic film on our windows before we installed them in our Parker Palace, what a difference in heat transfer. He suggested rain x on the outside and let 'em go.

I used to run my little road racer car without wiper blades so I'd rub the windscreen with a cut in half onion which repelled water like a champion.

read your warranty on them before doing anything. Certain things can void them, including films etc.

I'd heard of a potato but never an onion. learn something new at this place everyday, good or bad.

Correct, as I recall films specifically was mentioned on the Jeld-wen warranty. Something about effecting the heat of the window and their seals as I recall. Good mention Ace...
I think ceramic coatimg is a good idea for the vinyl frames. I've also heard of people using armor-all type products too but I can't say how well that worx. I see dust/dirt sticking to be an issue although it should wash off fairly easily.

Lol, pretty sure it was yellow.....whatever was in the fridge

The glass is low e I just want to keep spot off them as much as possible

Rain X will help glass a lot but if your washing/rinsing with hard water nothing is going to stop calcium spots 100%. Get a DI Rinse Station and problem solved.
