    Removing HydrO2 streaks from Windshield

    I was helping a buddy get his car cleaned and sealed today. Ended up making a mistake where we washed off the top of the car after applying HyrdO2, but didn't rinse off the windshield afterwards. Thus, there are now streaks that look awful when sunny out and make it hard to see.

    I've tried using windex, CarPro Spotless and a Hard Water stain remover without any luck. Any suggestion on what else to try? I plan on calling CarPro tomorrow to get their advice as well.

    This is not my first time using HydrO2. I love this product, but I just wasn't paying attention as well as I should have.

    Never used Hydro2. But, I would try a claybar, then a Nanoskin clay towel or pad, then some glass polish in that order, BUT, only on 1 spot.

    If all fails then call CarPro. I'm sure a semi-aggressive paint polish would work but let them tell you that and which one to use.

    Removing HydrO2 streaks from Windshield

    I took some pictures of the windshield to show everyone what my friend is dealing with.

    We tried a few things such as 3M Finesse it, 3M Perfect it and even scratch-X in some spots since that's all that was at the house. None of these even touched the issue.

    I'll give CarPro a call this week, but any additional suggestions outside of the ClayBar would be helpful.

    BTW - Don't mind the lights in the pictures. I was having a hard time photographing the issue.

    Perhaps some meg ult compound or polish would work.
    Carpro spotless + ceri glass.
    Or just let it degrade

    This happened to me once, but like you I did so many things in order to try to get rid of it, what helped most was washing the car with soap again (removed a lot of this), then pressure rinse it again.

    In the end, dry using a quick detailer and a 'fluffy' MF towel and you'll get rid of some more.

    This helped in my case,

    Kind Regards.

    Try first APC if you have , wash it well on the glass and rinse well,
    if that not help , ceriglass polishing by hand will remove it for sure.

    normally when such thing happen, while its fresh, you need to spray again the hydro2 and rinse over again. or use wet mf wiping off after , it will remove it while fresh.

    Re: Removing HydrO2 streaks from Windshield

    I'm confused about how this stuff works. You mean as you sprayed it off the roof the water running over the rest of the car didn't rinse away hydro 2? Why didn't it streak the rest of the car

    alkaline APC wash, but rinse well.

    or i think a pass on machine with AIO would work.
