bazzle Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I'm finding it hard to get a clear wipe on my screen. IS350 F Sport 2011. I've changed blade assemblies, scrubbed screen with diff chemicals etc, added bars bugs etc etc. It looks like there is a coating over the whole screen that doesn't want to be removed. I read that some Lexus models used to have an coating from the factory that wasn't removable but became an issue as it wears? I also get poor vision if the sun is directly thru the screen, early in the day. Makes it look like its sand blasted but its not! Any clues?

Howiefied Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Isopropyl alcohol all the way. Wiped down with a clean microfibre cloth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzle Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Thanks. Tried that and Prepsol. Continuous use of bars Bugs has helped a little but it looks like there is a fine mist of overspray all over the screen but there isnt :( I think it may be in the flexible layer between the laminated sheets.

bazzle Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 Ahhh fixed :) Mixed up a paste from the grey ash from my wood fire, rubbed all over windscreen, washed off. 99% improvement. There must of been a fine overspray from something all over the windscreen, may of been the Lexus coating?? Anyway can now see when sun on screen and raining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilv1004s Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 thats great to hear! was going to suggest probably had some chemicals on the windscreen if the car has been to a panel shop happened to mine when i got the guards replaced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzle Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 You could be right as well. who knows what was done to it for prepping at the Lexus dealer edit: still some on screen. Will give it another go later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony1234 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Try Autoglym glass polish.Fixed my wipers skipping/grabbing on the screen.Think it's just an accumulation of road grime diesel etc.particularly if it hasn't rained for a while.

bazzle Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Thanks Tony. I tried bars Bugs neat earlier which has similar properties. I think ilv1004s is on the ball with overspray. I will try carefully with thinners another day. Panel shop told me to use 000 steel wool but I can find any that fine and they had none ;( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilv1004s Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 there is a product that acts as a polish for glass try that a go also removes small scratches too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzle Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Must be thinking alike :) Got some tonight. Its like a fine pinky powder. Old name I think is Jewelers Rouge. Came with an applicator block too. Dip damp block into powder and apply with block. will try out on weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
