    Alright, so I guess I'm skipping simple green. I thought that would be a good APC lol.
    Thats why we're here. To protect you from yourself

    The GG product would work great too!

    Re: So I feel like my windshield is completely ruined...

    So mind if I ask why this even happened? Is it because I did not prep the windshield correctly? I'm kind of baffled how bad I seemed to have screwed up lol.

    Alright, so I'll probably try that garage stuff, unless others have any other comments.

    Here's my review of the stuff. I will always use this stuff when stripping my LSP.

    Aww Shucks...Review Time!!!

    I see ppl post that they wax their windshields. Not me though. I waxed a doctors wifes MB windshield once and it had tremendous wiper hop. That was all I needed with that expierment

    Get RainX instead

    I'm not even gonna touch the windshield after I fix this lol, IAc think I've learned my lesson. I wonder how people even say they get good results from waxing their windshield...just look at mine, it's terrible...especially when it's raining and it's dark outside.

    Also, good review! That stuff looks pretty neat, I think I'll be ordering some tomorrow unless there's a stronger product. I honestly thought Acetone (which is usually used in labs as a cleaner) would kill this wax or stain. I'm surprised it didn't.

    Re: So I feel like my windshield is completely ruined...

    You could try some of this: DP High Performance Glass Restorer removes etched water spots from auto glass and restores perfect clarity. Apply with a polisher or applicator for

    It's best applied by machine, but I've used it successfully by hand. Although the last time I cleaned a windshield that looked that bad, I used M105 on a 4" pad.

    Where are you located? Maybe I can send you a small sample of the DP Glass Restorer if you're interested.

    RainX or Stoner rain repellant is great! I use it on my cars and never had any problems with it.

    Why not contact a company that deals in glass, specifically automotive and ask them?

    That would be amazing, I'm located in New York.

    @RTexasF: That would be a pretty good idea, but I have a feeling they wouldn't tell me how I can fix it, but how they can fix it and charge me a large sum. It'd be my last resort if I can't fix it myself.

    Re: So I feel like my windshield is completely ruined...

    I recently put Opti-coat 2.0 on my windshield and now have something similar to what you've pictured. Most noticable on mine during light rain at night with oncoming headlights. You are lucky because some of the options mentioned should work for you without using a DA. I'm going to have to use polish with a DA followed by GG paint prep. Mine is my own fault because OC official stance is to not use on the windshield.
