Spoke to a very knowledgeable local tint guy, says it sounds like failure of the scratch-resistant clear coat. Previous owner probably cleaned it with Windex compromising the coating...
Worried I would immediately damage the tint in that scenario. Anyway, I've already tried a plastic scraper but since the glass curves inward i was only touching the edges of the scraper.
OK so nearly boiling hot water, dawn soap, and a MF towel (and even a cotton terry towel) did not help the situation. Looks exactly the same. It seemed like the crud would start appearing in clear...
Sounds fair! I'm going to attempt to use hot water and a MF with soap and hope the heat takes it off... Otherwise I'm going to a tint shop and see what they say.
Yes! It just gets pushed around when I try to clean it. Originally the glass looked pretty clean. I never waxed the inside but who knows, dealership may have before I purchased.
I decided to clean the inside windows (starting with front driver side... :mad:) spraying some ONR (QD ratio, 1:16) onto a blue shop towel, and as soon as I started to put some force on...
So I noticed that these PC-brand set of 2 MF kitchen towels have a waffle-weave pattern, and they felt exactly like my $19 (CAD) 20"x40" 70/30 Korean-made waffle weave towel...
Nope they are 16.99! It's definitely the best deal I've seen though - I may go ahead and purchase eventually as I'm using a non-circular mop bucket as my rinse and it'd be nice to be able to stack...
Sorry guys, but in Canada we're looking at a min of $15 cad for these official plastic contraptions. $26 right now for CG's guard. $22 for the accessory that clips on lol. Prices from Amazon.ca btw

Kevin Brown's method is to toss a spritz of H20 on the section if you notice your product is drying out. I tried it for the first time and it seemed to pull all of the excess product out of my foam...
OK! I had a feeling I'd have to polish. I'll definitely keep an eye open in Aug/Sept. I think I mostly skipped polish step since it was getting dark and I just wanted to get the wax on there since...
After getting some much needed assistant from Mr. Phillips on this forum, I've went ahead and completed the hood (well, nearly complete... waiting on my 3" plate & pads to finish the dropped sides)...
OKAY! I made what I would consider my final test spot as I now believe I have gotten the technique down pretty well (Still sticking with Megs Ultimate Compound). I put a couple strips of painter's...
Ah, I was clearly looking at an outdated autogeek chart lol. In fact, I just looked at a few popular Canadian online stores, and I'm pretty sure they just don't exist here :laughing:
I was confused because I looked up the LC pad colour chart and saw a pink-coloured (It's actually red) pad at the bottom of the list, just above their softest gold "jewelling" pad. It states it has...
