I've noticed a haze on my car windshield. How do I remove it? I've tried all types of window cleaners and nothing seems to work, but it seems too much like a safety hazard to just leave alone.

“It’s definitely got the makings of a safety hazard—good for you for recognizing that. Haze is caused by airborne contaminants, so a hazy windshield is an inevitability. However, cleaning it can be simple—just try one of these solutions:
- A mix of white vinegar and water
- Ammonia-free glass cleaner such as the one from Armor All
- Rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide

—we’ll make sure you get the best deal on the coverage you need—just in case that nasty haze reappears.Good luck with getting rid of it, and drive safely!”
