I think it's from the zanio gloss enhancer's mist. I've tried all glass cleaners but to no avail Finally decided to break out the PC using SSR1 and it seems to remove almost all of it with no problems. Does anyone see a problem doing this or suggest something else. Thanks!

 

I can't see the Zaino gloss enhancer causing this problem, I do the outside of all my windows and the car after I wash the car.
You don't park under any trees do you, just wondering if this could be causing the problem.

 

No it's garage kept. When I did the gloss enhancer I didn't put any on the windows and didn't wipe them down either. I was thinking the mist that landed on the windows hardened. I think the zanio instructions say if you let it dry w/o wiping it off it causes something like this. Don't remember though.

 

Wow, now that you mention it I'm pretty sure this happened to my last car right before I sold it a few months ago. I put on some Zaino gloss enhancer and then noticed a while later all of these little tiny flecks on the windshield that looked like chips at first but were actually tiny clear bumps. I tried lots of cleaners and never got them off completely. Never connected it to the Zaino (thought it was sap or something I drove through), but after hearing this I think it might have been the gloss enhancer spray.

 

That is quite interesting that the gloss enhancer mist if allowed to dry will do this. Tomorrow I am going to try it out on one of my truck's windows.

 

so far PC then Stoners Glass has seemed to get most of it off. Can't tell for sure until tomorrow in the sun though. Damn this stuff is hard to get off!

 

dam i like meguires products

 

Couldn't you use a straight single edge razor to clean off the glass?.....Works miracles for hardened sap etc. I would also try a little paint thinner on a rag.....just don't hit any painted surfaces.

 

hmm, I've had good luck with Glass Science - glass scrub, or perhaps some isapropyl alcohol/water in a 50:50 solution

 

Spoke with Sal Zanio for a few min and he couldn't see how, if it were the enhancer, that it wouldn't come off after using the pc. He then asked if I was near any thing being painted and, stupid me, I had forgot about having my bumper repainted! I'm now feeling really dumb. It was the clearcoat overspray from the shop. Gonna try the paint thiner. Thanks everyone.

 

Well thanks for getting back to us. I could not see Zaino causing that problem. I tryed duplicating it and it did not do as you suggested.

 

Got time to clay bar the windows today and, what do ya know, it came right off! Thanks everyone for the help.

 

Thanks for following up.
