  • Need suggestions on how to clean my windshield after repaint

    I recently took my 2006 VW Passat into a local body shop to repair a small dent and scratch on my passenger side fender/front bumper.
    The shop repaired the dent and scratch and repainted the area including a portion of my front bumper.
    I'm satisfied with the repair but since picking up the car from the shop I now have another problem.
    It seems there may be some residue on my windshield that is causing objects to appear slightly blurry
    - especially lighted objects during night driving.
    I washed the windshield, both inside and out, as well as took the entire car to a car wash.
    No improvement whatsoever.
    This "blurry condition" is also confirmed by my son.
    My hood also feels a little rough to the touch.
    This problem did not exist prior to the body shop repair.

    Any ideas on what this might be???
    What can I do to remove it from my windshield?
    Any recommendations on cleaners that may remove this, yet not damage the windshield glass?
    What should I use to remove it from my painted fender and hood?

    Thanks.

    It's most likely paint overspray due to the reapair shop not properly/completly covering the car to protect it from overspray.

    To remove it, you can use a product such as Meguiar's Smooth Surface Kit or Meguiar's Quik Clay which will remove the paint overspray.

    Your best off using the 5-Step Paint Care Cycle to remove the overspray and then protect your car and bring back the shine.

    Hope this helps and to MOL
