Hi all.
I recently tried the 2 stage Carlack glass cleaner and sealant. I am sure that due to operator error I have c*cked up somehow as while water beads of the screen very well and it is as clear as anything as soon as I use the wipers it is as if I have put a smear of something across the screen. This disappears after a short while but while it is there oncoming headlights make visibility very poor and completely defeats the idea of the sealant.
Wiper blades are clean, they get cleaned each week when the car is washed and I have made sure there is no contamination on them. Could they have picked up something from the sealant?
I have tried using the Carlack cleaner again to remove it but to no avail. Can anyone suggest something that will remove this sealant please.

Thanks Dennis will give that a go.

Should the carlack glass sealant be a good one? or are there any that people recommend.
While the failure of this one may well be my fault I am a bit reluctant to try it again.

Thanks

I've tried a few of the Gtechnic products and got on with them very well so I think I will give their version a try.

Thanks Dom

I don't know which type of technology the Carlack is, will try the IPA first and if not will give it a clay.

Could well be a good call on the wiper blades they are a few years old but as they were working fine before the sealant was applied I made the assumption it was the carlack that was the problem.
