I encountered exactly the same issue with my wife Estima 2-3 mths ago, bought the water stain mark removal liquid and applied on side windows + windscreen.

And voila, I hit the jackpot for the windscreen that the white mart was so so apparent where I could hardly see clearly when driving at night. Then there was a guy in Skudai (I am from JB) offered to solve the problem for me. He used 3-4 diff type of compounds to polish the windscreen for me. Spent RM130 and my problem settled.

Expensive lesson. I hope your problem is not too serious that not the entire windscreen is infected. Else the glass specialist will charged quite a lot. Mine was only infected at drivers area, about 10% of the total windscreen (estima has a BIG windscreen) and yet paid RM130 for the job done.

TS, it will get better over time. I was like you initially trying all sort of ways but eventually after few years, it seemed to have been better. I suspect the car washing and polishing of the glass once in a while removes it over time. Lately I'm using Rain X for the windscreen and it seems ok.

Since that day, i never used any watermark removal products. smile.gif

It seems like getting better now. In fact, the bubbles are getting bigger. yawn.gif

Fed up, waiting the supplier to provide the solution.

I also have the white marks on the wiper area, but it was solved easily by polishing it. But, this does not solve my problem. Because, the chemical has eroded the glass, causing uneven surface on the windscreen. The bubbles can only be visible through the reflection on the screen. shocking.gif

yup, that's why I said you need GLASS polish, not normal polish.

can i ask if driving at night

the screen produce special glare, instead of the actual light glare, i mean glare from windscreen itself.

can you try soft99 polish, apply a little bit at small affected area,say cigarette box size.

wait 10mins, use damp clothes lightly buff off.

then see if you can get clearer view.

easiest and CHEAPEST way to remove watermark or tar, or hard stains from car paint, or glass.... use rubbing alcohol. you can buy from pharmacy (they use it to clean wounds too) or kitchen supply stores. cheap and cleans VERY well. try it and you will never need to go waste money at "specialized" water remover vendors.

The acid watermark removal is never meant to be used on the wiper area of the front windscreen as there are scratches and stone chip. The acid will fill into the holes of the scratches and make it blurry. This is not the 1st time happened.

The remedy is to polish put the acid at the scratches by using heavy paint correction compound.
The pro will be using Meguair's m105 or Glass Compound such as Osren or CeriGlass

For Consumer - use the glass compound such as Soft 99 Glass Compound Z which is available at Brother's Kelana Jaya for about RM 30+.  If that's too far, you may use Autosol Metal Polisher in toothpaste that is available in any hardware shop or hypermarket. It may cause micro (tiny) scratch, not naked eyes visible but against sun light as it is not meant for glass.

Be prepared to rub and rub (many rounds) to see improvement.

If left uncorrected, the blurriness will disappear after 1/2 year to 1 year time depending on the taken to dilute acid from the scratch. If you cant's wait and want a quick solution and willing to pay, is to sent to the pro detailing shop and the normal charges are between RM 150-RM 250.

Normally, the acid is only used when the glass is heavy stained . Acid is the fastest but not the safest way to clear watermark on windows.

The above are based on actual experience when used a similar acidic product brought at hypermarket.

I have same prob for years with my wife's car
the white marks is really annoying when we drive during raining time at night.. (the spot mark appear when running the wiper, it occurred at driver side view only)

I never use any WM removal all this while..
but my wife maybe tried some kind like Rain-X b4

past 2 weeks I use Joy Dish Liquid and brush it with Scoth-Brite (non-scratch type), it it does improve..
now still monitoring..

is it windscreen prob ? or it is a tar/stain instead that cannot be removed by normal car shampoo ?

I've used this Soft99 Glass Stain Cleaner to remove watermarks and 1 year old Ultra Glaco coating on my windscreens... Very good...

http://www.soft99.co.jp/english/products/c....html?pid=05066

You can also try Soft99 Glass Compound Z like what mot88 suggested... You can find it at Autobacs Klang or Eneos...

well, experienced on this. to make it happen.....the best is have to wait for hot weather to apply with totally dry environment (with DRY CLOT as well).
Most of the time if it don dry fast will happen like that or with wet condition when apply (After wash).
make sure the screen is clean, kao kao bagi. surely can work.

i would never trust those no brand home made watermarks removal. there is a lot in facebook.

I used this and its proven. the only issue is - after polish/wiping, need to clean off immediately.
