    The first thing I tried was AG Glass polish. No luck.
    Then I tried some window foam stuff we had, no luck.
    The vinegar seemed to have done the job, but until I drive it home I won't know for sure.

    Did you put vinegar on it?
    A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining and wants it back the minute it begins to rain.

    It's a renault? Check passenger footwell for engine coolant................
  • If it starts misting up again quickly, you may have a coolant leak.

    Check your ventilation system isn't set to 'recirculate' although as the q was asked 14 months ago I guess you probably worked out the problem by now.
  • Use SWARFEGA, its what mechanics use to remove the grease from their hands, its brilliant for windscreens too.:money:

    Hopefully the OP has the problem sorted by now seeing as this thread is almost
    3 years old!
