My 87' 5K CST is almost ready to start using as a Daily Driver, I only have one big problem, since the car has been sitting for about 4-5 years out here in California, the car's paint and windows have a thick film of haze that I just can't remove.

I tried regular window cleaner, no-go.
I tried Vinegar, no-go.
I even used a green pot scrubber, no-go.
I also tried to use a flat razor blade, haze is still there.

All I can say is the guy that I bought the car from had a couple of cement trucks that were stored on the property. I think that the dust that came from these trucks got on the car and overtime just caked on it.

Any suggestions, I can't even see outside of the windows very well, this stuff on thick.

Let me know I need to have this haze film removed, especially from the windows.

My friend suggests, Lime-Away.

Guys, please let me know of a good cleaner or product that can help me.

Try C.L.R. works good, or try Kaboom (wont hurt paint)

If the windows have the haze, what does the paint look like!?

The paint does have some of this haze on it, but I have been able to remove it with a hard rubbing, I think that a good wax/buffing should do the trick.

On the brignt side, the car does not have any dents, or major blemishes, it only has a dull haze on it.

Thanks,

who don't do any shower cleaning whatsoever... if it can get that crap off... it may be a good thing to try... if it really is cement - you may be SOL, I can't imagine that stuff comes off easily.

Actually... come to think of it, they make a product that grinds down windshields a little bit to get the stone chips out from old windshields... and it comes in different abrasion levels... that may be something that as a last resort (or if it really is concrete) I am sure would do the trick.

As for the paint... I have found Meguiars products to do a great job... maybe scrath-x, followed by an oxidation remover/paint system cleaner, followed by a nice polish, and then I really think the product Tech-wax is really good... should have the car looking like a million bucks in a few steps... well, unless its covered in concrete... see above for comment about SOL.
