Sort of greasy waxy that really shows up in the sun. I've tried meth. Anyone got any better suggestions?

Outside is a brand new windscreen too. I guess the interior may not be clean enough from the old buildup on the back window, but the front still had some noticeable smears :(It does make the water slide off nicely though when going 60+

Posted 30/06/10 04:55 AM Posted 30/06/10 04:55 AM Try cleaning the windows with the car running and the fan pumping fresh air into the car. Humidity is a bitch when cleaning windows. A tint safe glass cleaner with a microfibre should do it. Use one side for the cleaning and then flip it to buff.Sometimes you can get a build up of crap that just takes elbow grease and some time to remove. A sharp razor blade will sometimes help.

It does state glass cleaner on the bottle but I'll stick to the noxious white spray stuff and newspaper I think (no tint)Elbow grease does seem to be what's needed. Thanks for the tip on having the air flowing over it too rancidpunx.
