Constant film/fog on outside windshield

[Capitalst]

I have had my MXP now for a few months. I live in SC and park outside. Every morning or when it rains I get this film like foggy on the outside windshield that wont go away with the defroster or wipers. I even tried this morning to wipe it really good with a rage and still come back. Its beyond dangerous to drive since my visibility is so bad I can barely see the road or curbs at times especially in the dark. Is anyone else having this issue and if so is there a fix for it?

Refresh interior windshield haze

Has anyone figured out how to remove the darn haze? I've tried everything, glass cleaner, everclear, isopropyl alcohol, and a magic eraser.

I know this talks about interior, but suggest some of the cleaning products/methods discussed on both inside and out.

I had this as well on a recently delivered MXP. Nothing would remove it. When I had the car ceramic coated, the guys used a non-orbital polisher to polish out the windshield first. This worked great, perfect clarity. I ended up buying a non-orbital at Harbor Freight and polished the windows on the FWD's, which also had it. I used a simple polishing compound from Meguires. Including setup/cleanup I think the FWD's took only about 1/2 hour. Any polishing compound designed for automotive paint will work. Even the cheap turtle wax sold at literally every auto parts store.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately it’s on outside since the wipers do clear it a bit each time but it comes right back immediately.

The wipers actually do a poor job of cleaning.. you need to get some sort of glass polish to get that layer of gunk off.

Yes, you polish the outside of the glass as described.

Thanks for the response. I’m going to try that myself.

I also have the interior haze on my MX. I've tried a couple of ways to remove it and found that using Griot's Glass Polish worked best. Using the Speed Shine and Clay helped, but, the best result was with the polish. The downside of using the polish is you need to put something down over the top of the dash to catch the dried polish when you buff it. The biggest issue I have is that you need to be a contortionist to get the entire windshield!

Cleaning the inside of the windshield is a young man's game... I HATE doing it... my body does not like it.
