Anyone else run into this issue on their Windshield?
 

There haven't been many windshield threads (if any) at all on how to properly take care of the windshield. Now let's focus on the twins. My previous car did not have this issue, but it seems that the windshield on the twins are hard to clean. I've tried glass clay, newspapers, rainX and invisible glass, but nothing seems to get rid of those circular specks. I ruled out the chance that it might be only tree sap, as even the glass clay couldn't remove it. Just wondering if anyone else ran into this problem and how they fixed it... It's driving my OCD off the wall :|

that looks like stone chips?

Is it raised? If it's something that's stuck in the windshield I spray glass cleaner and use a razor to remove gunk that hard to remove with a microfiber towel.

Here's a good video.

Hmm, at first that's what I thought too, but paint's still in tact so not so sure :iono:

Thanks! I'll check the video out. It is raised, I can feel the lumps when I glide over the glass with my finger. I've never tried a razor before, but I've tried anything from plastic cards to guitar picks. Whatever it is, it's really stubborn xD

i have that too, im pretty sure its just rocks and shiet from the freeway

did u try using one of those flat blades with a glass cleaner and just scrape it off method?

Mine is not that bad, but will get there eventually

There was a time when a car in front of me drove over a freshly coated highway line and it splattered all over my car. There were tiny white spots all over my bumper and windshield. It was really hard to remove when it dried. I eventually got it all off.

ME..... I thought it was just dirt that accumulated and while driving only few stayed sticky and the rest got off with wind.

What type of window cleaner you use?

Hmm, I'm at 26k miles atm, mostly freeway driving in LA. If it is rocks, it's funny that the paint outlasts the windshield if there are rocks hitting lol. I haven't used a flat blade yet.. if our windshields are this low in quality, will a flat blade cause light scratches?

I alternate between Rain X and Invisible Glass. I use newspaper instead of microfiber towels though.

I used the flat razor blade and it didnt cause any light scratches. You need to make sure your doing it correctly.

I have tons of LA miles, and my windshield is fubar-ed too. and not if you do it correctly it won't. You'll scratch your windshield if you're going directly at it or intently trying to cut it.

I have a clear bra on so my paint is fine but almost all the time im hearing shiet hit my windshield on the freeway :mad0260::mad0260::mad0260:

hate trying to/from/in LA.. anything that has to do with LA... :thumbdown:
kinda bitter hahah /endrant

Hit it with an aggressive rubbing compound on a PC or rotary. If that doesn't get rid of it... o.O

Acetone soaked cloth?

I had that as well and subscribed to the "bee pollin" school of thought.
Apparently farily common in Cali? http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&...spI2RYu9tKuO_Q

It was brutal to get off and I tried scrapping and every cleaner under the sun. I finally got frustrated enough and used a rag with lacquer thinner and it wiped right off (just don't get it on the paint).

It looks like rock chips to me, to be honest. Especially there off the 8, roads are terrible. So just because they clear coat hung in there doesn't mean the glass did. My windshield looks like this from living out here in AZ. (but so does my paint because my front bumper and roof eat rocks for breakfast, I guess)

If they are rock chips, The damage happened the day you call it in and wait until there is a crack. Don't tell them it's happened over time or they won't cover it. (I work for a TPA that handles insurance claims)
