I keep getting a greasy file on the top area of the side windows, particularly towards the back where the window curves.

I've tried Autoglyms fast glass but it doesn't really seem to shift it.

Any suggestions what to clean it off with, without leaving any kind of residue that could attack the window seals.

It's not a big deal as it does not really block vision, but it's got to the bugging me stage

Brian,

is the mark appearing where the glass mates to the seals or on the exposed part?

Turtle

That's the strange thing. It's where the seal touches the window, and goes at least an inch or so below. Seems to work it's way down.

It's not Billy Bunk is it Brian!



Have you used any sort of proprietory cleaner or conditioner on the seals?

As you know I've a devotee of Autoglym & Zymol but in this case I'd have a go with a dilute vinegar and water mixture to try and shift whatever film is on the glass. Let it sit a minute then buff it off with some Fast Glass. Wipe the seal with a clean damp cloth too in case there is something wierd there...

What are you using as your wipe cloth, I use Bounty paper towel(very very absorbent and no filler or crappy residue - but dear) inside the glass and microfiber towels for the outside

Have you used Autoglym Bumper Care on the roof.

Since I used it I have noticed an oily film, particularly on the side windows and to an extent the side and rear bodywork.

In the process of the stuff washing off does it run down ?.

Must say I now have mixed felings about using this stuff. Only been on a couple of weeks but it has coincided with the oily residue. The appearance is patchy, looks great on rear side sections crap on the top, application marks.

I would now think twice about using it on what we have agreed is a waterproof vinyl top.

Isn't Fast Glass part vinegar anyway? (From the smell)

I'll try this anyway.

Oh, I use '4 for 99p' el cheapo Kitchen roll for cleaning off works great.

My local shops don't seem to stock Mugen Kitchen Roll.

That greasy deposit is probably silicone grease, i use it religiously on my seals as it stops them leaking and keeps them supple. The manual states you should grease them every 3 - 6 months.
