I have a windshield in my car. (Anyone else?) It has been treated with Rain-X. HOW DO YOU GET THE SHIT OFF? A glass installer suggested bleach and it helped, but only to a point. The stuff is cloudy and in rain at night, it is like looking through a kaliedescope! I think it is because of the wind pitting on the glass. The wipers also leave streaks, like tracers.

I've used Bon-Ami, but you have to use plenty of water! Also, if you treat it again, that should help. -
Try lacquer thinner or a rubbing compound.Comment

I've tried acetone and a mild hydrochloric acid solution, and it seems you need to use a mild abrassive and actually scrub the stuff off. I was trying to get it off a used car I had bought, so I don't know what was on it, just assumed that it was rain-x. The bon-ami idea I got from the owners manual of my GrandAm, if you were wondering.Comment

i used to work in a glass shop, and we used a simple trick to get stuff off glass. take a brand new sharp razer blade, and run it down the window as close to parrelell as possible with the blade still touching the window. it wont scratch it if you do it this way, but if you bring it up to were its close to perpendicular (90 degrees) to the glass, you will scratch it. this works well for taking stuff like this off, ive even taken tint off like this.

Thanx, I'll try some of these. Cept the razor blade. No offence but I doubt if it will work on Rain-X. Rain-X is a silicone based compound that actually fills in the tiniest imperfections in glass, making it slick as ....well, silicone. I know there is a chemical that will cut it. I will try laquer thinner first. ThanxIf you are driving a Chevy, everything else, is just a blur. 3.4 Carbon Footprint.
