help: Water/Tree saps spots on the windshield.

How in the world you clean the windshield from Water/Tree saps spots on the windshield?

I tried regualr winshield spray. Yellow can from Stoner. Did not help. I tried some red viniger on paper towel. It did not help either.

It is UNSAFE to drive at night when raining, I can't see for a dime!

Please help. Thanks!

When in doubt, try a clay bar.

Yes, If hard water spots, Listen to Katana, the steel wool will work use windex also. I am guessing the razor blade will work also, never encountered this problem. From what I hear tree sap is some stuborn shit.

When you did this before, did you encounter any problems with the glass visibility at night?

Just came back from camping to find tree sap droplets on the painted roof cover on the tent trailer. Simple Green diluted 50/50 did the trick. The worst couple of spots took a little soaking and rubbing. It also removed tar spots on the fiberglass front. SG is about all I use anymore around the house and car. Good luck.
