Apologies if this is a common topic. There doesn't seem to be a proper search function on this forum. Most of the time I use the windshield wipers, I get a big smear of water that goes away in a few seconds but reappears with every wipe. I replaced the wipers but it didn't change anything. Based on what I've been able to Google, cheap wax/rain-x treatment from an automated car wash is the likely culprit. Lesson learned, one of many since this is the first nice car that I've owned. It seems there are about as many recommendations for removing this as there are opinions on car washing (a lot), but the one I've decided to try first is rubbing alcohol. I've also seen stuff about clay bars and 00 steel wool and all kinds of crazy solvents that I would never bring anywhere near my car. Has anyone on here experienced and successfully tackled this problem?
