Awhile back i got some car wax on the inside of my windshield when i used the wrong cloth to clean the windshield, now i find that it fogs up really fast, and has shiny streaks that are very distracting when i have to drive at night. What should i use to remove the wax? Ived tried windex, and water+vinegar, neither worked.

Dishsoap will be the best . Use a concentrated solution of dish soap in water. Or at last ressort mineral spirit ...but be carefull to put only on the windows and not drop anywhere else or il will smell for some time.

Windex is the most useless stuff for car windshield IMO.

ya i figued that would work best, i was just hoping for a less messy solution. like you said, i dont wanna get soapy water inside my car :S

Did you try rubbing alchool?

For the dishsoap, just humidify a rag. That will not cause problem.

But the mineral spirit will be a mess. But will work .

or you could go red nedk like a buch of the guys that i work with the saying paint thinner will take off anything haha (dont do it though)

ill give the soap and water a try, ill just lay down a bunch of towels.

Did you try using window cleaner with newspaper? The newspaper acts to polish the window while cleaning it with windex, etc...

I've no problems with windex on my windows, works great actually...Only product I have had problems doing windows with is those stupid Armor All window cleaning wipes that they sell...They are too damn wet and leave nothing but streaks behind.

I think the best wax remover is supposed to be ammonia. Try not to breath.

tar and wax remover. It's noxious, so don't take too long with it or you'll be singing about pink leprechauns.

Soap won't remove wax. Think candles melt when you wash them?

Use zippo or resonal lighter fluid just like you would to remove sticker goo.

The Norton Adhesive Remover is the stuff that takes off pretty much everything. You squirt some on a cloth and that wax will just disappear. The autobody shops use Norton for all types of finish cleanup for paint prep. As I said, it safely takes off pretty much everything.

Just to be contrarian though, Why not just wax the rest of the window? It won't hurt it. A good wax is supposed to eliminate most fog up. Maybe what you have on there is not just wax.

Painters prep and wax remover works great and does not damage plastic or paint.

also turtle wax but and tar remover also strips wax off pretty well.

Vinegar and newspaper.

sports section or the funnies???

It works use the newspaper to clean the window here is another one to have your car paint job all shiney and popping out like Emeril Lagasse "BAM" tip a little kerosene oil in your soap water "BAM again kick it up a notch" and towel it dry

Interesting, never heard about that.. doesn't hurt the clearcoat or anything?
