| 1331684 | 2013-03-07 02:07:00 | I appear to have some sort of Film on my Car Winscreen and I am having great difficulty removing it. I have tried, "Mr Muscle" "Ajax Spray and Wipe" "No Bugs", Meths'. White Vinegar, and even resorted to wet newspaper, but all to no avail. Apart from replacing the Windscreen I am stumped. Anyone got any sensible suggestions.? | Pato (2463) | ||

| 1331686 | 2013-03-07 02:26:00 | Inside or outside? and are you sure you are cleaning the right side of the glass :P On the outside Bug off and a good brush/ squeegee shouuld do the trick. On the inside you want a good paste type glass cleaner, a lint free cloth or preferably a Chamois, and a lot of elbow grease. Sometimes the plasticiser from the dash can build up on the windscreen over time and be tough to clean but it does come off. Most of those products you listed are not glass cleaners, might be why they didn't work. |

| 1331687 | 2013-03-07 02:33:00 | I think the problem is on the inside. I will do a search for a paste type glass cleaner. I didn't know you could get such a thing. Thanks for your help. The "No Bugs" seems to do the job on the outside. Only really notice it when the sun is on it and it is quite annoying. |

| 1331690 | 2013-03-07 02:51:00 | Go to Metroglass and get an aerosol of their proprietary window cleaner. It is brilliant stuff, cleans off everything and leaves no smears. They don't advertise it and have it mainly for their own use, but will sell you a can for about $10. They use this when installing double glazing as the inside surfaces have to be spotless. | Richard (739) | ||
| 1331691 | 2013-03-07 03:00:00 | Sorry, I automatically assumed it was on the outside. I've found Armour All's glass cleaner (in the black squirty bottle) to be very good. That, a clean cloth and some elbow grease should sort things. Wipe with a damp chamois after you've got what you need to off. 4833 |

| 1331692 | 2013-03-07 03:57:00 | www.pacer.co.nz Pacer glass polish. It's what I was using when car grooming many years ago, still use it now. Never found anything better |
