Hi all. Has anyone had any experience with having a contaminated windscreen, and how to resolve it?
I've got a 2020 FR Black Edition and the windscreen is just terrible in the cold or wet. I'm not sure if it's something I'm cleaning the vehicle with, or whether it was something that happened to the vehicle before it was delivered as it was delayed significantly due to COVID so was sat in a compound somewhere for a few months.
I'm assuming it's some sort of wax/grease deposit, or maybe even sap? As soon as it's cold the outside of the screen condenses really easily and is difficult to see through. Using the wipers doesn't help much, assuming that they're also contaminated too with whatever it is?
I made a hash effort to use white vinegar spray and then washing up liquid which were some recommendations I found, my next effort will be sugarsoap which I read elsewhere could help. I basically haven't really got a clue what I'm doing though having never experienced something this bad before. Do I need to try and use a clay bar on it?
The photos below were taken on a day where I'd cleaned the car, so the windscreen wasn't actuality dirty, but this is what appears when I first set off on a journey. As soon as the screen has heated up it dissapears.
Cheers!
