Windscreen Degrease

[paulstevens]

Does anyone know of a screenwash that actually works, and what is the best solution to cleaning the windscreen and wiperblades to stop the dreaded greasy film, especially bad when faced with oncoming headlights?

Cheers

I bought a screen cleaning paste from my Jag dealer a few years ago which works really well. This came in a small bottle, about 100ml I guess, and because a little goes a long way and I only use it two to three times a year I still have some left. It is best used after washing and drying the glass but before cleaning the rest of the car because as it dries it leaves a white powder which washes off easily.

I presume a similar product is available from other dealers or Halfords.

I use the two Autoglym products - Fast glass is the general cleaner, and there is a more intensive paste - I'm not at home at the moment, so I can't check the name, but I have found these to be very effective. As above, the paste leaves a white residue, but this is fairly easily cleaned off.

Hi Guys,

I already use the Autoglym stuff, and as long as it is raining well, the film smear seems to go quite quickly, but I am at a loss as to what screenwash helps. Currently I am using whatever my OPC put in the screenwash tank, smells nice though!

Thanks for the feedback
