    windshield mess

    Had left my ride overnight in a public parking garage 2 floors under the main floor one night this week as i had an emergency, evidently a car parked above me on the next level up and directly above me was leaking snow removal salt and water from underneath his car onto the concrete floor his car was parked on and it found its way to a crack or seam on the ground of his floor and worked its way throw the floor and dripped onto my windshield below through the ceiling above my car

    i thought it would be easy to remove.....maybe if i had got to it right away it would have been but it dried on my windshield and what a mess getting it off the glass....its like acid....after removing the white SALT dried water spot the windshield looked pitted. i scrubbed and scrubbed the spot and used my cleaning amory and it finally came off after a 1/2 hour elbow grease.....

    THAT SALT THEY USE FOR THE ROADS IS TREACHEROUS

    Get that off your car as soon as possible......imagine what it does-to the paint finish??????
