Front Windshield Haze

Hi everyone, I am a new Tacoma owner and was cleaning my front windshield and guess I didn't do as good job as I thought I was and now this is on my front windshield (refer to pic attached). One can only see it when under a street light at night or maybe in very bright sunlight. Please tell me there is a way to get this stuff off. Any help would gladly be appreciated.

 

Exactly how did you clean your windshield .. and what products did you use?

 

like Rainx, sprayaway(most recent), and mostly been using the windows cleaner that comes with the Toyoguard package from the dealership. I would try to clean it off some and think I got it until I see the next morning on the way to work.

 

That is rain-x. It leaves a film like that. It will eventually come off with soap and water. I am not sure how to get it off immediately.

 

I use Sprayway and a micro fiber towel and always get good results .. is the haze on the inside or outside?

 

Just as long as it will come off and what kind of soap should I use?

 

the haze is on the outside and I actually just got a can of the other day from o'reillys auto parts but not the towel

 

Try a clean towel with some isopropyl alcohol and that should clean the haze off ... could of been the towel/rag or whatever you used to wipe it

 

After this haze goes away, is there a certain product combination ya'll recommend that is Tacoma specific or has best results on Tacoma windshields?

 

Simple green is pretty good at stripping rainx.

 

Just use a good glass cleaner like Sprayway and a clean waffle weave microfiber towel that you can get about anywhere like Walmart etc

 

On the alcohol suggestion, is this alcohol safe to use on the front windshield? and a microfiber cloth?

 

Yes

 

Stoner's Invisible Glass + crumpled up newspaper. Cleans off the stubborn crap on the outside, leaves no haze on the inside.

 

I use Turtle Wax Dash and Glass along with a microfiber towel. Easy to clean the glass and you don't have to worry about over spray on your dash or the windshield. Great stuff, give it a try. Safe on window tint also!

Ok folks, I finished wiping front windshield down with alcohol to hopefully remove haze from rain x and finished off with spray away on the outside, is spray away safe on inside too?

 

YES its for any glass surface inside outside

 

The isopropanol is a volatile organic mixed with water. It will not harm glass in any way.

 

Old school, but news paper (black and white) has been used for generations and the results can't be beat. With the window wet, start with a dry paper and as it gets damped use it to clean the surface to a spotless finish. If you need to get the RainX off, use Dawn dish soap (blue) rinse well and keep off your painted finish if it has wax on it. $.02

 

Mix one part vinegar and one part water.Cleans great with no streaking haze etc.
