I used to have the same prb. Apply some wax and buff it off thoroughly. I did that to my ride and it's gone :)

 

 

Wax on windscreen?

[Rover99]

Yes bro, I waxed my windscreen. Like I said it has to be buffed off thoroughly.

what are those fogging/patches?

 

do seems to be able to wash it away after numerous car wash..... alwqays appears during rain

 

how to get rid of it?

 

I never put rain x wor????

Likely water stain from acid rain. I used to work at a place which produce a lot of corrosive waste gas. I had to park outdoors 100% of the time during working hours. I have a lot of it, especially at the rear winscreen. DG 501, SRP, all does not help. I bought those 3M fine sandpaper and polish it........but also does not help.

 

Probably need to use a rotary with some cutting compound.......

 

Anyway, it does not adversely impact visibility so I am just letting it be.

likely to be chemical residue from light factories..nothing to be alarmed about..and yes, apply rain-x can reduce the occurrence

[Hotamp]

i believe those patches are wax or rubber residues from new wipers. just get a clay bar, pour water and rub it off as regular maintenance for windscreen. the amount of dirt, sand particulars, oil sticking into the windscreen from using singapore roads really .

Try use newspaper to clean the glass after you wash the car.

Hope i'm not too late... you should get this:

 

http://www.soft99.co.jp/en/products/detail/8/115

 

It;s rebrand as Glaco and packing is similar. With 1 bottle of compound and 1 sponge.

 

What I did was:

1) Wash it clean with good glass wash and with newspaper.

2) clay it (a bit kiasu but i didn't pick up any contaminating stuff)

3) Use the glass compound to polish away the tar/oil/gease/stain/acid/blah blah

4) wash it clean again

5) apply rain repellent like Rain X or something similar (i used this http://www.soft99.co.jp/en/products/detail/6/088)

 

Cheers,

Kimu

Later I upload the box for all to see.

Was searching high and low at UBI autobacs.

This is the box and the product works on my front windscreen.

Rear did help by abit.

Sides & Mirror, not much improvements.

 

Instructions, Apply solution after cleaning up the windows using yellow sponge.

When solution dried up, clean it was the white spong.

Sent the car for car wash afterwards.

 

Sponge is provided in the box.
