Trewithy Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 My daughters 11 year old Seat has some sort of contamination across her windscreen that I can feel with my fingers. I have tried many different glass cleaners but I just can't shift it. In desperation I tried using T-Cut on a small area on the bottom corner of the screen and it has cleaned the glass brilliantly, it feels clean and smooth and is clear to look through form inside the car. But I am wary of doing the whole screen as on the T-Cut bottle it states do not use on glass. Has anyone used T-Cut on a windscreen or got another suggestion? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usersteve Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I wouldn't use it on the windscreen. The problem will start when the sun hits it or when it rains. The toothpaste mentioned above is great ive used this just make sure you wash it off properly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonro2009 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Can you try IPA fluid? That has got rid of a fair few suspicious substances for me in the pastSent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarksST Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Use a glass polish or a claybar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micro Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Might be residue left by rain-x or similar. Some IPA or strong screenwash might do the trick. Toothpaste is lightly abrasive so may also do the job. 5L of concentrate screenwash (Carparts4less, £2.05 with a discount code) - states do not get neat on paintwork, contains IPA and Methanol. It works so well that it removes the rain-x from my windscreen if I squirt it on at more than about 50-75% concentration + smells lovely! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Clean the glass with cheap gin or vodka.Best degreasers you can use.Wash off well with water or your car will stink like a squaddie on a monday morning [emoji6]Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trewithy Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Cleaned the entire screen with toothpaste, amazingly it has worked and the screen is lovely and clean. I was so impressed I also did my Fiesta which suffers from wiper judder and now the judder is virtually gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trewithy Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 I used Colgate Original Care, it was what was in the bathroom but you could probably use any toothpaste. It works because it contains a mild abrasive. I would guess that whitening or smokers toothpaste contains more abrasive so I would be inclined to give those a miss, but that is just my opinion not based on any fact.
