Prepsol will remove all the grease, wax and other like material off the screen. Use a clean cloth for the final wipe and don't scrimp on how much prepsol you use. Should fix no problem!! Cheers

Hi Ray, a quick and usually successful way to get most things of the windscreen is to use soapy steel wool pads, it is also good for cleaning the edge of your wiper blades and the steel wool will NOT scratch the glass.

It was that steel wool that doesn't strach glass that cost a certain bumper bar repair mob $340(new glass and tinting)after thier technichian used "nah this stuff doesn't scratch" steel wool on the screen and two side windows of my Commodore after he got blue overspray all over the car. All the scratching became real obvious whenever the sun hit the glass. It was real nice of them to fork out for a cut and polish as well, after they suggested that I should do it.

Tuff60, I don't know what type of steel wool they used but I have used this stuff for years and never had a problem.
I've cleaned windscreens on my Toyota, Commodore, Falcon, 2 Discos, a VW, Range Rover and an Astra and still doing it and non have ever been scratched so again, I don't know what they used.

Long shot but what about that grease removing hand washing liqued.The kind mechanics have. It might just be the trick. Never tried it myself but worth a shot.
