1000's of white dot's on windscreen!

[lewi]

Hey,

I have literally 1000's of tiny white dot's all over the windscreen that i really only noticed after i cleaned it properly with glass cleaner!

They really only show up in the sun and then visibility is really really crap! Which isn't good.

Now i do need to change the windscreen eventually but that's a cost i could do without and is only a problem with the evening and morning sun.

There must be a way to get these thing's off? Polish them off? wire wool?

My first thought was stone chips but there are 1000's of them all over the windscreen and the 3 cracks and 2 stone chips are completely different (hence why it needs changing) BUT it's still LEGAL

Ideas?

Thanks

If you have some you could try some detailing clay on the screen ?

I literally have nothing except glass cleaner!

Was going to lightly tint all the windows and add a normal looking blue tint sun block on the windscreen but wanted to clean them all up before i went through all that trouble!

But the problem is on the outside and only on that window (except a few wiper scratches on the back).

If the clay will work (and if they sell it locally here) then will go and get some.

Some 3 in 1 window cleaner that you usually use on your house windows!

It's not because of the cleaner but i think i am just noticing it more now since it is not caked in mud, dust and streaks too! Plus all the other windows are perfectly clean, just this damn front one.

try a window cutting polish, by hand, might help... then if you can use a pressure washer as all the small bits of polish can stick in the minor abrasions in the glass... then.. if you can afford it, try a window sealant

might also suggest a bit of white vinegar on a tissue... as it is slightly acidic it will eat away any deposits and hard water scale... do not use white vinegar on your paintwork though!

could be tree sap? i would think clay would get rid of it if so?

Have they painted anything near you ?
Sounds like overspray.
It happened at my work where the painters were using a spray gun and it was windy and about 150 cars got paint all over them.
Is it on your front bumper?
Can you pick it off with your fingernail?
Try claying it.
