Hi guys,

So i have an MX-5 and whenever i was the windscreen (doesnt matter what with and yes ive tried new blades) it makes this oily looking smeer right in front of where i need to see!

Does anyone possibly have any idea of what this could be and how to get rid of it!!

Thank you

You need to clean the screen and blades thoroughly. Newspaper and vinegar are quite good.

Yeah i have ordered some cleaning stuff for the screen to hopefully clear the oily substance

Also as for the blades. I didnt purchace these blades, they were includes when i bought the car. I just fitted them.
The problem of the smeer was happening even with the origional genuine wipers which i still have. Even after fitting the new blades the problem is still a problem.

Once the cleaner arrives and i can give the screen a good cleaning, i shall let you all know the result.

Thanks all for your help!!

Hi Guys,

I am at a bit of a loss now.

I have tried the vinegar and newspaper.

I also bought some specialist windscreen cleaner called 'Simoniz Mixra Windscreen Cleaner' suggested by blitzracing.

None of this worked in fact it almost seems worst.

I know it isn't the blades.

The smeer is still present and I'm not sure where to turn now.

I'm thinking a scientist!

Does anyone have any ideas? Id rather not have to find a new windscreen.

You could try Jewelers rouge- its a fine red powder used by Windscreen fitters to polish fine scatches out of glass, so it will remove anything on the surface that chemical cleaners wont remove. You mix it into a paste with water, then polish. If this fails Im at a complete loss.

Thanks blitz, it on its way.
Cant see it working somehow after the other attempts but fingers crossed!!

New decent wiper blades. I'd call in at your local main dealers, let them see the problem & buy some OEM blades from them.

i have the original blades in the loft now. The problem is not with the blades.

The problem was there using the original blades so i got some new ones and its still happening.

Driving home in the rain tonight was almost impossible. I simply couldn't see anything

I use something like this on the recommendation of my detailer:-

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-X-1-LITRE-IPA-ISOPROPY... on all my glass inside & out. Cleans everything off & reduces misting inside. On the outside I've finished off with this:-

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gtechniq-ClearVision-Smart... which works a treat (you drive along & the rain goes UP the windscreen & you hardly need your wipers.

Have you used these products yourself?
The nano tech one looks good on the details

I have a spray bottle of the Isopropyl amongst my cleaning products & bought a 100ml bottle of the nano tech which I've so far used on 4 cars & still have some left. On my daily it was applied nearly two years ago & still the water runs up the screen. Used it on my parents new car & they first time they drove it in rain they contacted me to ask me if I'd used something on the screen because the rain went up & they hardly used their wipers. Maybe expensive compared to Rain-X but having used both I didn't think much of Rain-x but now use this on all my cars & families cars that I clean.

Stick Gtechniq G1 into youtube & have a look at some videos.

Will do,

I have been looking for months for a good nano tech product but without speaking to anyone that has actually tried one, all you get is the sellers description which will always make it look good lol

Thanks for the report, once i get my screen fixed/cleared/replaced i will definately give it a try. I love the idea of nano tech on the windows!
