    Recently after removing my lsp ive been noticing a film on the window....its a little oily and sometimes a pain to get off?? Could it be from the wax?? Thats my guess but i havnt really experienced this before until just recently.:shrug:

    Wow, that's an odd one.

    I kind of doubt the wax is anything to do with it, since you said you didn't apply it to the window. It sure sounds like it's something else.

    Do you Rain-X your glass? Is the haze on the outside of the glass, or the inside?

    ok so today i just did a maintenance detail on my car. simple wash, interior, WAS gonna wax but it started to rain and i got irritated so decided to stop there and just use a qd. then after a few hours i see that film on my window again!!!!!! guess its not from the wax, but what could it be from? maybe my ww towel is causing this? i have no clue at this point....just really frustrated!!!

    What kind of car is it, Japanese cars have alot of out gasing from their plastic interiors that cause this haze on the glass.

    maybe ill try to strip the diamondite sealer that i used on it, but i dont think that the sealant is the problem cause the other windows dont get the haze....just the windshield

    your glass still has a film on it. some product.. i tried the diamondite brand a number of products and came a way extremely disappointed.. i can't stand their products.. i used the clay polish and it put marks i thought were scratches in my glass they looked so stable.. but i got them out with a ton of products.. and will never use their products again.. very very difficult to use and i get much better results with other products.. i would stay away from diamonite. and honestly i cannot think of another product or set of products i have used i dislike more in my 5-6k arsenal of products.
