  • Can't take APC off of my windshield.

    Yup, I kinda messed up here funny thing is, the windshield is 3 months old. So I was cleaning the engine bay with Hyper dressing and APC for the first time. Everything went smooth, but I had hyper dressing left over on the plastic part just under the windshield and when I drove right after tiny drops of hyper dressing went all over the windshield, a lot of them but very tiny. I couldn't take em off with windex or meguiars window cleaner or invisible glass. So I tried APC, sounded like a good idea, sprayed a lot, few minutes later I sprayed again and when I wiped it off there's apc left over. it looks like the whole windhsield had water running down and it just dried up. windshield is still clear, no residue.

    Hmmmm

    If window cleaner doesn't work, then either clay bar or after a test, a paint cleaner of somekind like SwirlX or UC or ScratchX or similar. Just be careful!

    Keep us posted.

        Give clay or #4 a try.

          tried windex, nuttin, still there, it dried up to fast, looks exactly like u would have dusty window and u would have water streaks running down, but only in sunlight, can't see it otherwise.
          clay + detailer will b safe ? should I put something on afterwards ? I don't really know how windshield is built

            If the clay works, or if you have to go onto a paint cleaner, you will likely need to use a regular glass cleaner after them still.

              I say try car wash soap and water with a wash mitt, then use clay or paint cleaner if that doesnt work.
