Crazed windshield

[Scraps]

I have a 2020 G70 and the windshield gives a crazed appearance as if sand blasted also referred to as sparkling at dusk and dawn. I’ve cleaned it numerous times to no avail. I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this problem. I think it is in the laminate film and only shows when the sun shines at a very specific angle. If anyone else has this problem let me know.

My guess is that it’s on the inside of your windshield and that it’s tiny bits from your deteriorating microfiber rags. Clean a small area without using microfiber rags and let us know.

Welcome. Moved to the G70 section.

Some people recommend cleaning glass with a waffle weave microfiber to avoid lint and other junk. Personally, when cleaning the inside of the windshield (a pain in the ass in the best of times), use some good old-fashioned newspaper coupled with windex and some elbow grease. Then I might use a microfiber to clean up any remaining crud.

Many folks have aftermarket tint on windows. NO AMMONIA ALLOWED.

Hm, never had tints so never thought about it...

I bought a 5" squeegie just for this very problem. Windshield stays cleaner longer

I know exactly the sand blasted look you are taking about as mine has it too. The car is brand new so I'm not sure why it has that look.
