Crud on the windshield

Minor complaint, but I can't seem to get "factory" crud off of the inside of my windshield. I've cleaned it multiple times with Stoner's Invisible Glass and (reluctantly) with Windex. The crud/residue can be seen if the windows fog up or if I spray them with cleaner. It looks like something dripped down the windshield and etched the glass as it went. It covers the entire windshield.

As long as the windshield is dry I can't see the crud. I might try some of my glass polish, it's pretty good at taking off water spots. But I've never used on the interior side of glass.

You can use ultra fine steel wool on glass as well if nothing else gets it off.

The smell isn't great, but. 50/50 mix of vinegar and water with newspaper as the cloth can do wonders on glass.

The oils in the plastic will continuously gas off and will coat the inside glass. The more plastic the worse it gets.

For the first few weeks I could see the suction cup marks where they installed the front window and even on the sun roof. They seem to be gone now. Also...you can use a razor blade on both the inside and out to scrape the crud off. Just use carefully.

Try some 3M adhesive remover, works great on sticker residue and I use it to remove globs of Fir tree pitch from the glass, paint, etc.
