stains/marks on windscreen
« on: 05 January 2013, 13:08 »
Hiya All

I have some weird stains/marks on the inside of my windscreen there in two areas there about 300mm wide and look spekelly (see pic) i ve tried APC and glass cleaner but dose not shift. the weird thing is it disappears when the glass is warm (noticing it more with the cold weather)


Not a great pic but shows the pattern of the stains/marks.

what could it be and whats a good product to remove it

Thanks in advance

Mike

The film on the glass has gone and moisture gotten inside it?

Really no ideas...

Water marks,

They build up over time and apc or spray window cleaner will not touch them,

Get some ceri glass polish by carpro, great stuff for removing stubborn marks on windows, then get some g-techniq window protection on there or dodojuice do supernatural glass protection which isn't bad.

Looks to be a oil based smear..........

Got any panel wipe handy? I did a Civic Type-R EP3 inside windows that I'm detailing today with it, and the stuff is awsome on glass! Really cleans em up, and leaves absolutely no residue or smearing!  :wink:

Is it not cheaper to get a new windscreen rather than spend money on cleaning products £50 which might not work anyway?  :wink:
