    Better if you can get hold of some of the stuff from before they reduced the meths content. Suggest isopropyl instead if you can't get decent meths.

    Shouldn't be necessary to be dishonest. Must be plenty of volunteers to throw some stones

    I'll have to import them - the local ones are (a) too loyal or (b) too scared of the consequences.

    Try Eucalyptus oil, if you can stand the smell without passing out in a confined space. good for removing sticky stuff like labels and is often found in the house.

    You'll find Kero and IPA remove different types of sticky stuff. I have a squirty bottle of each on the bench at work. If one doesnt work, the other usually does, and you've already tried thinners which is my 3rd choice...

    Failing that go to town with autosol and buff the crap out of it.

    I've noticed the effect before, normally I sort it with a clean cloth (I use microfibre) and a damn good rub all over the screen, fixes any smearing.

    Yes, you sort of apply all over the screen, then spend more time rubbing hard. You can only see the smearing during fogging or other special light conditions, but then you know you have to rub it again (or you didn't do it enough before).

    Is this on the work car or personal car? I could be interested in throwing a few stones, Im not loyal to anyone in your area but my neice, and I dont scare easy.

    +1 on the newspaper and ISO.

    Depends what you are rubbing it on with. Microfiber cloth would be ok, a bit of toweling rag could leave some marking.

    Tried Dulon thinners - same result.

    Anybody got a cunning plan - apart from smashing the screen?

    BTW: when using cleaner the side wihtout Rainex 'squeaks' - the Rainex side doesn't.
    Why don't you try using the demister fitted to your car? The works for me everytime.
