New glass makes a world of difference.
It's not 25 - 30 years, but it's 13 years. I am suspecting the same thing. I'm trying to find a replacement for the "Glass Wax" cleaner that was so popular when I was young. It's similar to a polish in that it dries to a haze and is wiped or buffed off. There's a company on the Internet that claims their product will remove alkaline deposits that cloud glass. It's an acid so I'm thinking vinegar might be worth a try.

New glass is going to be hard to find and pretty expensive.
