My friend moved out to Alburquerque about a year ago. Her car has CAKED on grime on her windshield(sill post pictures as soon as she sends them to me). I was wonder the best way to get it off to make the windshield look brand new, or close to it. And no smart-a$$ remarks about just getting a new windshield!

Thanks

 

Get a new windshield

All kidding aside, try some bug and tar remover, wash it really hard, take a razor blade and try getting the **** off

If that doesnt work then I dont know what to tell ya

******* awesome lol

 

 

+1 this is always a good way!

 

its a windshield, its not painted, go to town on it. thats what we do to remove **** in the shop

 

adhesive remover or brake cleaner suprisinly works well

 

I use a mix of vinegar and dish soap water, and a bug/tar mesh sponge (got mine at WalMart for a couple bucks) and good ol' elbow grease. If you claybar, use liquid clay on the windshield with a rag. Or, to break up heavy grime, pretreat with denatured alcohol on a paper towel and then dish soap/sponge. Also, using windex and a paper towel on the wiper blade cleans off bug grime/dirt and potentially extends the life of the wipers too, didn't replace mine for a year and a half and they were still good. You can rain-x to help future cleanings go more easier, or even just put a coat of wax on the window while detailing (less permanent than rain x, and won't mess with the wipers like rain x) and you can renew it anytime. Good luck!

 

we use glass cleaner and a hand full of steel wool. that or a clay bar if its not too bad
