Sticky window

Hi everyone, I'm going to do a big pre-spring detail job on my car in a couple weeks and I have a question. I have had my windshield replaced about 2 months ago, and I notice that it has a sticky residue on the outside of it. When I am driving in rain, I notice that my wipers streak the glass. My idiot friend waxed his windshield (yeah he's really dumb), and my windshield looks just like his did in the rain when using my wipers. I'm guessing the glass had some sort of protecting film on it that the body shop peeled off before installing it, and that film is what left the residue on my windshield.

Anyrate, I'm wondering if anyone knows how I can remove this residue? Thanks:)

~One mans opinion / observation~



This is what I do for windshield replacement ‘clean-up’:



1.Wash glass surface to remove dirt, dust and etc

2.Apply clay (Magic Clay) and lubricant solution (Woolite / Water 5:1) onto the glass surface (Do not apply to plastic as dulling may occur.)

3.Wash off any residue from glass and dry with a damp waffle weave towel

4.Use an Isopropanol solution, 5:1 (adjust ratio as required) to remove epoxy glue residue

5.Apply a quarter size amount of Autoglym Car Glass Polish to a dry 100% cotton or Microfiber cloth

6.Apply to half of the windshield, polishing first in an up and down motion then in a left-to-right motion and then repeat on the other side.

7.Go over the glass several times in each direction. (Glass will polish virtually residue free.)

8.Wipe off any residue, and polish with a clean dry 100% cotton Microfiber cloth





~Hope this helps~
