Removing soap stains
What's the best thing to use to get rid of soapy water marks on the windows. Picked my car up from the garage today and it had been washed, but not dried properly and now I can't get the soap marks off. I've tried auto glym glass polish, but it hasn't worked
Any other sergestions guys?
Thanks in advance
Matt

Waterstains can be brutal, helped my friend clean his Clio once and it was a right PITA - machine polished the glass in the end!!
Tried an IPA solution?

Not sure what he used to be honest mate, but it's a fooking nightmare to get off

Make sure you kept it well lubed (weak shampoo/water mix will work fine)
