Glass cleaning

Post by Ralph »

On the inside of the windscreen on one of the family cars there is a film or haze which I can't appear to clean off. During the day it's not really visible but it is becoming an issue when driving at night.

I have tried vinegar, supermarket spray glass cleaner, foaming glass cleaner and UPVC solvent cleaner (which usually cleans anything off) with no luck - it's like it's baked on.

Anyone used something super powerful / industrial which I could give a try?

Cheers, Ralph.

The cheaper brand the better, as it has more alcohol then smelly nice stuff in it - but do not get the ones with the granules in it.
