QUOTE(leeweixian88 @ Feb 9 2016, 06:04 PM) Hello Sifus, ********************************I have purchased a watermark removal from shopping centre last week and DIY to remove the watermarks on windscreeen. I have also applied Rain X after the cleaning. The windscreen looks fine from outside. But, it is blur (wavy look, e.g. defect film) from inside and affecting my vision. May I know what caused this? And, how to solve this?? The photo with timestamp at 2100 is taken from inside, the 2059 is taken from outside. The quality is not that good, I will upload the day time photos tomorrow. I am facing same issue dan problem after I used Watermark Remover. |

QUOTE(ramlimehat @ Apr 3 2018, 08:10 PM) Previously, some used Meguairs M105 and machine polish off the blurring due to acid. Can also try to use commercial alkaline based cleaner (such as EP Eco- Kleen sold at HomePro at tiles section) to neutralise the acid. The blurness will disappear after months, usually 6 to 12 months if nothing is done.This post has been edited by mot88: Apr 4 2018, 11:47 AM |

Sorry to bring up this old topic as I have similar issue as well.
By early this year, I changed my wiper to BOSCH Aerotwin Wiper Blade early this year and the screen is in perfect clean condition during raining except no repel water effect. Recently I used the Soft 99 Glass Stain Cleaner to polish the clean and windscreen, then following by applying Soft99 Glaco Ultra hope to improve the water repellent effect. After that, by the next day, I realized that the wiper leave full of tiny haze like lines in both direction, but the lines disappeared in second. If at early morning cool weather, the lines could stay for few seconds before disappear. I'm not sure if this is what people called it as smearing. Don't think the lines are caused by my wiper as it's perfectly clean before this. To test it further, I tried to remove the water repellent effect using Soft 99 Glass Stain Cleaner again, and using it to clean the wiper blade as well. Now the water repellent effect is gone, but the tiny lines effect still there. Worst case is now the running wiper leave some sort of 'white' mark on about 70% of the windscreen, seemed like due to oil or wax. This white mark will disappear in few seconds if I stopped the wiper from running. I tried to change my wiper back to the old one today, but seemed still the same, with temporary tiny lines and white oil mark. I will try to use another windscreen polisher to clean the screen again this weekend to see if any help on it. Quite annoying especially with the white mark on screen, can't see it clearly during raining day. Not sure if anyone of you have idea on how to solve it? |

Guys, here is my advice. I had this issue as well after stupidly applied VAL watermark removal on front windscreen. I could see that terrible white marks/haze under direct sunlight, and during night it was too much of glare against any upcoming lights....
i tried Amway Polish, Meguiar Wax, Dish drops liquids, and so on.. Nothing worked. The only method which worked for me was... To polish the windscreen using Cerium Oxide powder (you can google or there are some youtube videos).. it is a chemical powder (orange in color) and it is used to remove minor scratches on any glass surface. It is safe, not acid. I did this at a car wash shop in Shah Alam Sek 20. Just need a polisher machine and buff the surface (screen) using cerium oxide powder + water. Must be done in wet condition. Dont let it dry while buffing, add water from time to time. There is one local company selling this powder (cerium oxide glass polishing powder) online Shopee/FB. Factory is located in Puchong. Kleenson Glass Powder. If you buy from China via online, it is much cheaper + more quantity. But you have to wait for shipment. I did this and my screen is 80 - 90% better now. |

Thanks~~ It is good to know that it can be repaired by using cerium oxide glass polishing powder. May I know whether you polished your screen with rotary tool? Or just rub by hand?i tried Amway Polish, Meguiar Wax, Dish drops liquids, and so on.. Nothing worked. The only method which worked for me was...

I come across this thread and realized many of us encounter the side effects after using the watermark remover / cleaner.
So far any good alternatives that are able to remove the watermark without having any problem? My perception is IPA (Isopropylachohol) which is good in removing most of the dirty, but I am not sure for the watermark which could be the hard water that rich with minerals and impurities. Anyone tried (diluted/non) bleach? This post has been edited by Holyjolly: Jan 4 2021, 09:52 AM |

You can try using DA or Rotary using glass polish like Carpro Ceriglass or Osren 04A to polish. By hand not sure if can be fixed, even machine also not guaranteed cause those waxco type is acid type, it seeps into the pits and wiper trails of the windshield. I always use those proper glass polish to polish glass instead of acid type. |

It is supposed to be really mild abrasive, so it should be safe. This evening tried it again on my windshield to remove some weird oily spot. After the application, it seems that the compound has revealed numerous small chips on the windshield. It's a 13 years old car, so maybe it's normal and wasn't caused by the compound.
