Default Help cleaning soap residue

Curious problem. My wife put what she thought was washer fluid in her Odyssey. It wasn't washer fluid, it was soap I bought for my power washer. Honest mistake as the soap is blue and is in a clear jug that looks just like a washer fluid jug.

Anyway this was a couple of weeks ago and I just found out. It has left an opaque residue on the windshield that I can't remove. Strangely, I think I was able to remove it from the paint where the fluid oversprays. I've tried Zaino soap and water, Dawn soap and water, my power washer with straight water...nothing has helped at all.

Any suggestions?

dawn didnt get it?
wow, its strong!!

how bout power washer without soap? (just pressurized water)
dont pressure the rest of the car, just the glass.

assume that you have flushed the washer reservoir by now- if not, be sure to do that before the washers get used again.

more info on the soap that is in there? a web link would be best, second best is the name of the product and manufacturer.

be sure to rewax the car after this!!
