Re: [DMCForum] Re: white haze

["Lauren" <LPLand@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bill and all-- I can smear it around the windshield but never fully 
remove it. It looks at its worst when the sun shines on it and I can 
see the swirls and streaks.  It doesn't seem permanent, as in etched 
in, but it doesn't really wipe off either.  I haven't used the heater 
since I got the car and honestly I have no clue if it works.    If I use 
Windex, it turns milky white. 

Someone suggested that it's ArmorAll, but I once had some success 
with acetone on an ArmorAll'd windshield and acetone just makes 
this stuff white and streaky.  Actually everything makes this stuff 
milky white and streaky.
