    I'm late to the game, but try new wiper blades to get rid of the ghosting.

    It's not the wipers. You get the ghosting just by wiping with a cleaning towel

    He tried a couple things. One cleaner was in an unmarked bottle.. I assume a home made cocktail. The other was a degreaser I never heard of. It cleaned the windshield really well, but the stain is still there when the windshield is soaked

    I am fascinated by this, I thought the glass would have held up to the cleaner, especially since the paint seems to have escaped unscathed. I'm going to see if my local dealer will give me a scrap windshield to play with! :)

    1st I tried my friends Mothers claybar

    The 2nd wax try was with turtle wax

    I also tried Mothers chrome polish, Bar Keepers Friend, and so many other glass cleaners
