Re: [DMCForum] Re: white haze




Bill and all-- I can smear it around the windshield but never fully
remove it. It looks at its worst when the sun shines on it and I can
see the swirls and streaks.  It doesn't seem permanent, as in etched
in, but it doesn't really wipe off either.  I haven't used the heater
since I got the car and honestly I have no clue if it works.    If I use
Windex, it turns milky white.

Someone suggested that it's ArmorAll, but I once had some success
with acetone on an ArmorAll'd windshield and acetone just makes
this stuff white and streaky.  Actually everything makes this stuff
milky white and streaky.
