Hello People,

Has anyone come across some weird marks on the windshield?
Pictures attached.

This will get that all off - you will need to reapply your rainx/aquapel/whatever after it is cleaned.

Mine also had that at some point, I believe the car wash I go to was able to remove it.

I tried with chemical guys heavy-duty water stain removal but no luck :(. Can I try with a polisher instead of a hand rub?

The markings have been on ours since day one.

The dealer tried to ‘buff’ it out but didn’t work. Ford refused to warranty it even though there are numbers written on it so obviously it was from some point in shipping, right?

The trail is where the wipers go, almost like someone turned them on with there being a ton of dirt on there. Think anything can remove it?

I sent video of the inside and outside, pictures etc. and warranty denied it. They said there was no way for them to prove it was a defect IN the glass.

We took delivery at night so there was really no way to notice it unless the sun is shining right in.

Hoping it breaks when they do the windshield/pano roof recall lol

I would try using a polish and polishing pad that is specifically designed for glass such those from Griots Garage in this kit:

https://www.autogeek.net/griots-glass-polishing-system.html
The glass stripper that I posted is a polish, it comes with an applicator. I have used it several times, and it strips everything off, and leaves a perfectly clean surface when followed up with a quick clean up of any residue. The surface is then ready for a fresh coat of your preferred water repellant such as rain-x, aquapel, or ceramic coat. I used a ceramic coat after the glass stripper.

Invisible Glass Glass Stripper removes baked-on water spots, hard water minerals, silicones, waxes, oils, tar, tree sap, road salt, and road grime from glass. Contains mild abrasives for deep cleaning auto glass without scratching. Perfectly polishes and strips away layers of rain repellent coatings. Restores glass to its original condition. Excellent surface preparation for rain repellent application. Enhances night and wet weather visibility and improves driver safety. Makes windshield wipers perform better. NO RISK . Invisible Glass 100% satisfaction or your money back.

Invisible glass wipes are not the same as the glass stripper. Same company, different product. The wipes will not take off the gunk. The stripper is a polish.

not the wipes.

It will take some rubbing to get all the gunk off. when water sheets over that area, with no beading, then you know it is clean. Amazon has a video that shows it being used:
