Default Windshield clarity issues

When my windshield gets wet and i have to hit the whipers, it becomes white and very hard to see through. I put brand new whipers on it, so it isn't the whipers. Also if its raining and a car is coming with lights on, forget vision. I tried the vinegar someone posted on here, but i had no such luck. Anyone have any ideas? It looks kind of like water stains, but the damn things wont come off.

It might be grease or wax of some sort. Get some Stoners Invisible Glass, you can find it at almost any auto parts place here in town. Alcohol might work, depending on what is on the glass.

Can do. If the vinegar trick won't work, there are some glass polishes that probably will. I always prefer to start with the simple solutions and work up to the more riskier ones.

I used a glass polishing compound on my G, got 99.99% of the haze out, and 50% of the little rock chips out as well.....
I'd recommend letting a trusted body man/glass man do it if I had to do it again that is
