Windshield Residue Help!

[2black1s]

^
Don’t feel bad. I bought a new car that had mysterious ghosting on almost every window. Without using a machine polisher, it took me way too long to get rid of them. Multiple steps of whatever cleaner I could find, along with a clay bar. Even Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.

No way was I going to take the car back to the dealer. I’m too stubborn for that. ��

Same with my current 2015 Chevy Colorado truck... I spent 6 hours cleaning the windows the day I brought it home, brand new.

There was some type of residue that was not really visible when dry, yet when you wiped the glass with a wet towel you could see splotches of some kind of residue everywhere. This was primarily evident on the interior side of the glass.

I tried everything I could think of... glass cleaner, isopropyl alcohol (91%), mineral spirits, clay bar, some kind of glass polish, cleaner wax, plain water. I can't remember the exact sequence I used those products but I do know that I tried everyone of them.

That makes sense, just didn't know how to refer to it. I will try that next. Thank you.
