Mudman Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Greetings all Following the philosphy there is no such thing as a stupid question - this may be my chance to disprove it. When you look through the rear windscreen it looks as though its been raining outside, when the exterior is clean and water free - The glass has the mesh effect but I am at a loss on how the hell you clean this. Being from the land of Noob - it this stock or aftermarket ? I suspect theres been condensation at some stage which has left water marks - Any idea on solution on how to clean - Car seems pretty dry now with no damp and seems pretty strong to tear it out just to clean the glass. I am hoping theres some kind of magic brush and cleaning agent you can use so need the combined experience of the forum to advise ! Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fellsteruk Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Hello Dave..... I don't recall haveing any mesh on mine, I just clean it the same as I clean the other internals and external glass with auto Glynn fast glass. Is the mess some sort of window tint or screen...

KyleR Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Might seem silly, but try some vinegar and lemon juice mixed. Can you post a picture of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudman Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 Ok so it's not standard by the sound of things I guess the best way to describe it is as mesh fitted to the glass. Had something similar before with a Citroen the holes in the mesh are smalll so its like cleaning a series of holes. Maybe a micro fibre cloth would work with a glass cleaner as a yellow soft cloth snags on the holes leaving threads - I'm away from UK but will post a pic when I get back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 That sounds a bit like that fly eye stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 That sounds a bit like that fly eye stuff? +1 Sounds like some kind of aftermarket tint. You could always try to remove it, but be careful when you do as the unknown factor would be the kind of adhesive on the tint film and you don't want to damage your rear screen demister lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spray the cleaner onto the kitchen roll rather than the glass to minimise runs and streaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Take a trip to a local tinter, they will have some proper chemicals for removing. Might cost you a few quid but worth doing right I think Sent from the golf club... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudman Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 Thanks for this. It is indeed fly eye window tint. Spoke to a mate who said the cloth used is key so will let you know how I go. I conveniently forgot to mention I have a Nismo rear spoiler fitted so will need to replace the rear gas struts but have that in hand Zeditus.............arrggghhhhhhh !

spursmaddave Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I can only imagine how tacky (pardon the pun) fly eye stuff looks on the inside of a rear window Sent from the golf club... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
