someone bleached my car, windshield cleaning tip?

I don't know for sure, but a heat gun might drive off some of the liquid that's in the glass?

 

First you go to the movie rental shop and get a few movies and a few cold ones.

After you slap her, pop in the movies, enjoy the beer and put your feet up. Your car will be cleaned soon.

 

Hopefully it did not contain some kind of acid that etched the windshield. I would have a professional look at the windshield and paint and make an insurance claim if necessary. The paint may look clean but still may have been damaged.

 

I would think they used some cleaner that contained bleach. It is perhaps not well known that cleaners like Fantastik can etch glass and they warn not to put them on mirrors. If this cleaner had some of the same ingredients it may have damaged the glass permanently so I would inform my insurance company right away and tell them you are trying to get it worked out so they can't claim that you didn't advise them in a timely fashion. If it won't come off, vandalism is usually covered by most insurance policies. That windshield is very costly.

The paint, on the other hand, can almost certainly be polished or buffed clear.

 

If it doesn't rub out ... what I'd do is take the oportunity to move up to pearl. That's just me.

 

What the heck is wrong with people. Why does someone go out and do such a thing to someones property. If you have a beef with someone, go see them.

Hope your car comes clean. f

 

A while back I had water spots on the windshield of a new car I bought, and it wouldn't come off with the usual cleaners, so I bought some fine glass polish from Griot's Garage, which worked well:
Glass Polish - Polishes - Polishing - Car Care - Griot's Garage

 

Try some white vinegar in a small area of the windshield. I use it to get water spots off my windshield when I get hit by someone's sprinklers. I used to use it on the gelcoat of my boat and it cleaned lake scum right off and didn't hurt the gelcoat at all. Try it undiluted first and see if it works. If so, then try diluting 50/50 with water and see if that still works. Good luck!

 

Someone is pissed at you for this?

 

I don't think chlorine bleach would etch the paint and glass like that (paint maybe, but not glass). Muriatic acid would though, and it would smell of chlorine too.

 

No need to feel bad. Some people simply don't 'think' the way others do. So ... you haven't read in multiple posts that the 'less-than-a-second' hesitaion from brakes when you're racing over pot holes too fast is not a defect (rather it relates to anti-lock braking) ... and didn't even try to rub the junk out of your paint job prior to assuming the junk was easily enough removed. Ok.

It was probably toilet bowl cleaner with bleach. A pressure washer doesn't take care of it?

 

In the holiday spirit may the perp be caught & crucified.
