Cloundy windscreen fix?

[Justin182]

Hi there,

Having some visibility problems through my windscreen at night when its raining. I think the cause is that i used Rain X a while ago but used my wipers too. So now when it wipes it leaves patchy cloudy parts on the screen making it hard to see through.

Just wondering if anyone knows what i could do to get this stuff off or stop the clouding. I have used window cleaner but makes no difference.

Thanks

Jus

Edit: maybe this should be in the Car Detailing section.. sorry.

try wiping your wiper blades with vinegar.. that'll get rid of any cr@p you have on your wiper blades.. good place to start..

Polish the scream with a good glass polish to cut through the smeary Rain X. Autoglym Glass Polish should work well.

Thanks guys..

Tried wiping the blades but no difference. There bosch ones but think there on their way out. Will try the glass polish... sound good.

Thanks

it just needs a good regular clean. I am a lazy git so rely on washer jets, but it still smears.

Alright R-jay .
Any advice on a chip in my windscreen . Had my last car over 4 years not a single chip , had my 182 just over a week and a f*ckin stone flew up from a van in front this afternoon Well p*ssed of to say the least .

Its not a really deep chip more like a surface scratch ? Years ago we used to used diamond powder at work for polishing scratches out of glass but we don't use it anymore .
Obviously i don't want something too abrasive so i polish a slight indentation into the glass .
You ever used anything for scratched windscreens , or anybody else got any advice ?

www.frost.co.uk sell glass polishing kits. Worth a try a guess. Like you say the risk is indenting the screen may occur though.
