Morning peeps,,

no matter how many times or what I seem to use there always seems to be some kinda residue on the screen 🤬. My first thought was coolant from a buggered matrix but I never put any coolant in. It’s starting to drive me to point of thinking about replacing the piggin windscreen 🤣🤣

anyone have any idea what this could be as I’m losing my mind try to get it off  

madder a pic but it’s a bit hard to see it 🤣

Is it on the inside or the outside of the screen?

Go back to a very clean screen inside,  it is glass it can be cleaned, 

only use something that does not get affected by the cold, 

service the AC, change the pollen filter, clean / disinfect the system.  http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/509231-cleaning-the0inside-of-the-windscreen-what-to-use

 

Mine was like this after a garage gave my car a free clean! They had used a silicone spray on the plastic dashboard and the overspray was hard to remove from the glass with a cloth.

I tried many glass cleaning products but the one that worked on the overspray (a silicone product?) was methylated spirits.

Rather than repeat, here is a thread about cleaning windscreen just the other day.

 

My vote, with a +1 from @Mickvrs220 was for Stoner's Invisible Glass, good product having tried several over the years.

 

 

EDIT: Sorry @toot I realised you did post this one, just the link was "flat"

 

Cleaning tip: Do the outside cleaning say vertically, do the inside horizontally... this allows you to potentially quickly see if the left over muck is inside or out at a glance.

Inside

Cheers peeps. 
I was even starting to think if someone had put a tint on the windscreen and someone else had peeled it off and it’s left glue residue 🤣,,, it’s just weird that even a green scouring pad doesn’t even help ,,, when it’s clean it looks great but as soon as I get mist it looks awful it’s patchy but more bad around the edges and top dash bottom of window,,, 

pikpilot I’m wondering if it is overspray from previous owners my try thinners or meth spirt and see if that helps 👍🏻

Try the recommended screen cleaners meths leaves a residue, I have just tried the meths. Isopropyl alcohol  works but I don't have enough left (doh)

I had a similar problem a few years ago on a 03 estate. If my  memory serves me well-and sometimes it doesn't-my garage diagnosed a leaking heat exchanger which, when the demisters were on, sprayed anti-freeze solution on the screen hence the film on the glass. It was a complete dash out job to replace the exchanger and the garage was most upset as they had massively under-quoted for the job which apparently is a right p i t a to do. The problem of the greasy screen was cured however.
