Default Tricky problem...

Noticed yesterday that the 'foggy' place on my windshield that I can't seem to get clean is actually overspray from when I had my car repaired. It's so faint that it's invisible unless the sun shines thru it just right.

Here's my question: Is some type of glass polish what I need to remove this? If so, what type and where do I get it?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance to all the A4 gurus out there.

I've heard Audi glass coatings are soft. Won't that scratch it?

00 steel wool and detailing spray to use as a lubricant works good.

Use steel wool. It won't scratch the glass. Works for bugs too.

Default a coupla years ago I bought a product....

I think it's made my rain-x... it's a cream that has a very very fine grit abrasive in it. You use it to "deep clean" your windows. It gets rid of all the built up grime and gunk.
