Re: windshield smudges. help!

Did you use a glass cleaner to remove any residue from the UC? May or may not have to.

[dinosaur1]

Nope just wiped it off with a microfiber towel and paper towel.

We had had some rain this morning and unfortunately the UC didn't accomplish what I had hoped. Should I declare this new windhshield defective and get it replaced? I ask because this thing, whatever it is that I cannot get out of the window makes it hard for me to see especially at night when I drive. The wipers go left to right which makes the imperfection in the window appear and then it goes away but comes back with each wiper stroke.

Re: windshield smudges. help!

Sorry to hear that.... I am certainly out of ideas. I guess you can see what insurance, etc would say....

[dinosaur1]

I think I will but I don't want my premium to go up.

The weird part is its only visible when the wipers work back and forth.

Here's a product you may want to try: No-Touch Auto Glass Stripper. Part #GS8, You should be able to find it at most auto parts stores.

Re: windshield smudges. help!

As the name says...it 'strips' the glass of just about anything. Leftover RainX, wax, etc. Think it as a super duper cleaner.

It is NOT a wipe on/wipe off product, it takes some 'passion'.

Side story: We had friends from Seattle here a few years back and he was complaining about the windshield...used the No-Touch and all was good. When he got back home he bought his own and uses it about once a year. Normally he won't buy 'stuff' for his car, but this he did.

This should be available at Auto Zone/Advanced/O'Reillys etc.
