It was a lot of work, washing it twice and then waxing but like I said it never shined like that before.....or ever again...

Lesson learned.....now if I spray anything the car is a block away !

But mineral spirits or non sudsing ammonia is also great on the windshield to remove all road oil etc !..

The belt sander with 80 grit paper worked the best. Took awhile but got down to it!!!!
