Windshield blur is killing me when it's raining!

[LouG]

I use IPA on the screen after clay barring, it gets any resdue off.

West Coast or Hazy?

I wondered who'd come back with that.

Maybe it's my wipers, but I only have 4,000 miles and have owned my Mustang for 6 months. When it rains the blur is so bad I can't see out of my windshield after it wipes. I thought maybe there was oil on the windshield so purchased and used one of those clay bar cleaners on the windshield and it did nothing. Is it my wiper? I can't imagine them being so dirty when my Mustang is garaged and practically still new.

A couple of things to consider -

1. How clean is the interior side of the glass? With new cars, as the interior off-gasses, it leaves a film on the glass. It can take many months for this to stop happening, so frequent interior glass cleaning will be required.

2. When attempting to remove this film, you may need to clean each section twice, the second pass with fresh towels to prevent transferring the residue from window to window, or putting back what you tried to remove on the first pass. Use an IPA-based cleaner such as Stoner Invisible Glass with waffle weave or glass-specific towel. Do bother with newspaper, that hasn't worked since the 80's.

3. If you still have the issue after using a clay bar and cleaned the interior side, then you will need to polish the glass. You can do this by hand or machine, of which I would recommend P&S Clarity Creme.

4. From here, apply a glass coating or rain repellant. I like Gyeon Quick View. You could also use a clean & protect type glass cleaner, of which Optimum and Stoner's I've found to be very easy to use, P&S Reflect is also a good option.
