My husband WAXED my windshield. He meant well but glare now. How do I get it all off?

Question

He waxed the whole car and it looks so great! But now the windshield glare is driving me crazy. Is there something easy that I can clean it off with so he does not know, and I can see again ?

Answer 1

Windshields cannot be waxed & never use anything that's abrasive or hard to clean it, if you do, you'll get those glare when you drive at night & probably end up having to replace the whole screen. Use warm soapy water with a little ammonia to remove the wax, then polish up with some Rain-X, this will make rainwater slide off the screen easily & you'll hardly need to use those windscreen wipers... works better than wax without the glare.

Answer 2

Both the answer above are good.  If they don't work, go to an auto part store and ask for a product that strips wax.  One product is Prep-sol (sp?).  

Answer 3

It might be screwed if the wax messed up the anti-shatter plastic on the exterior of the windshield.

Otherwise you might be able to just soak it really good with windex and wipe it off.

Good luck, otherwise - start shopping for a good deal on windshield replacement (it's usually not that expensive, and a lot of places will come to your house and do it).

And then tell hubby not to wax your windshield again (although a lot of car wash stuff has wax built in, so it might have been unintentional - I don't use that kind).

Good luck!!

soap, water and a little amonia.

Dawn dishwashing liquid, cuts not only grease but wax too, don't use it to wash your car lol.
