Harpic ? ? Toilet cleaner ? ? I ll try easy of bang right now and will post the reports

try it at ur own risk tho

both r pretty strong cleaning agents - will not be held responsible if your windshield suddenly turns into gooey blubber

Faun · 04-05-2008, 02:16 PM

collin the glass cleaner or acetone

Beware test a small area probably at the bottom right or left of windshield to see if any side effects are there in case of strong agents

Tried several including amway , none worked , wanted to know if any one have similar experience and cleared the glass without harming the glass

praka123 · 04-05-2008, 04:21 PM

^well,what about car shampoo's then?most of these stains will be cleared by these shampoos

well, if its due to borewell water. IMO stains will not be permanent.

thinner imo contains acetone so beware of dissolving any organic artifact with it

I remember an instance in which my classmate stuck a tattoo to a friend on forehead...lol....and then he tried and tried but in vain...finally i got an idea and we went to chemistry lab...where the attendant used acetone to remove that away in a jiffy

i meant to write "in my opinion, stains will not be permanent".

coz its most probably just salt deposition.

^^Wrong section, post under Hardware Troubleshooting.

LOL! jk. You can try acetone. My friend and me played with it on cleaning stains.

m-jeri · 05-05-2008, 10:20 AM

This may bit weird.....

Try newspapaer....yeas newspaper....and rub it dry..then just use plain water....try mineral water....heard this when i was in college..our college bus drivers did this....

phreak0ut · 05-05-2008, 01:36 PM

I would suggest you not use thinner. Then, it'll be translucent

or a thick plastic piece

the best advise i got from the car manufacturers is that i need to change windshield

enticer86 · 08-05-2008, 10:16 AM

Best thing to do for the windshield? Just pour a sachet of glass cleaner shampoo, sold under the Maruti brand, into the water compartment (the one used to spray water on the windshield )

s18000rpm · 08-05-2008, 01:28 PM

none works , trying diffrent brands from last monsoon , i survived last rainy night , not sure abt this season if things remain same

for safety either windshield or stains get replaced
