I found some Sylvania Octron value with a cri of 90 for 40$ per dozen, seems like the best compromise. Now to decide on 6000k or 5000k

I would 1. water spot remover 2. clay the glass 3. Ceriglass polish on glass pad 4. seal it if it's not fixed by all this, he should just get a new windshield!

I really like some of their products, so as long that as those don't change I'll be happy
