haze on back window

[79elcamino]

in the daytime the back window looks clean and perfectly clear, but when its night time and when a car is behind me with its lights on the back window looks foggy, the first time i saw it i thought it needed to be defogged so i put the defogger on but nothing, as soon as a car is not behind me i can see out of the window perfectly but when a car is close to mine with its headlights on the haze becomes visible, ive tried eagle one 20/20 glass cleaner on the inside and out and even after washing the car the haze is still there when a car is behind me with its headlights on, but it is only visible at night during the day when the sun is behind me the haze is not visible, any suggestions??

Sounds like a pretty good film on the inside back window.

Of course you will be told to try Nxt Glass Cleaner.... But yeah, I would be trying to clean it a few more times. Good glass cleaner, good MF towel.

Re: haze on back window

do u think the film must be from rainx anti fog stuff i put on the back window awhile ago

Re: haze on back window

Well, I have a feeling the anti-fog stuff would be something oily... and stuff sticks to oil.

Could be why it would take a few times to get off.

Maybe try giving it a real heavy cleaning, like lots of glass cleaner, probably will streak, but really get cleaner on there. Then you can always come back for a regular cleaning after.

Re: haze on back window

I prefer MF..

Dont want to rub too hard, or use anything too strong because of the defroster elements, etc.

Re: haze on back window

A cleaner like Ultimate Compound works really well on glass and often will remove more stubborn issues than a simple glass cleaner will.

*Warning - Only use a paint cleaner if the window in question
is bare glass. If you are dealing with a tinted window that
has tint film or defroster elements on top of the glass
you will not want to use a paint cleaner. Also, be careful not
to get product on the surrounding trim/moldings.

I was afraid with a back window that would be the case. Well, someday you will have a situation on another window that a paint cleaner will help with!

Our NXT Glass Cleaner is not carried at any large chain retailers or auto parts stores. Your best bet is to get in online.

Re: haze on back window

Terry cloths and a good quality glass cleaner should serve you well.

If you cannot find a good quality glass cleaner, use some soft water.

Glass cleaning does require a bit of technique.
