Just see the video, what a bloody nightmare!

I never put anything on the glass because of this :wall::wall:

You need a heavy cut compound & wool pad on a machine.

 

Also, Bar Keepers friend gets good reviews on here :thumb::thumb:

Only £1.99 from the Range

 

Might be worth trying Bar Keepers friend (powder version) with a non scratch scouring pad, give it a few hits and make sure you really clean well afterwards, then try AG glass polish cleaner again...

I know a few use 0000 wire wool to aid deep cleaning...

 

Cerium Oxide. Get it from eBay.

This will solve the problem. I had same issue and it was the only way to get rid of the coating properly. Have a search for a topic I started about wiper blades squeaking.

 

Barkeepers Friend is epic on glass - it seems to break down everything that is baked /stuck onto the glass when all else fails.

Seriously, it's only £1.99 and works miracles

 

What's the other clicking sound in the video? Never heard that in an Audi before.

 

Thanks, I will try Barkeepers Friend first. There's a Range near so...

How to use it, without a machine polisher / drill?

 

Get a wet microfibre, put some barkeepers on it and just work it in, it's great stuff [emoji108]

Felt pads is what you use for polishing glass, some felt pads and abrasive glass polish should remove it.

Failing that or for a quick fix there's 2in1 glass cleaners around that clean the glass and leave behind a temporary coating, the temporary coating should more the screen slick enough so the wipers won't judder.

 

This has been caused by a poorly applied glass coating, more specifically the coating not curing/being removed correctly.

You can try all the stuff above and they should solve the problem, I’d probably start with bar keepers first :thumb:

 

Quality reply Gleem, I’m sure he’ll do well with this one now :thumb:

 

So wet microfibre, + barkeepers friend powder...did this today.

It's much better, just noisy wipers now, the passenger one seems to "jump" when it gets almost to it's bottom resting position and can't figure out why. Noticed a slight bit of juddering from the driver one but only when the windscreen was practically dry. I've not sealed it or polished it, just used the barkeepers a few times. I can now see the lines where the wipers stop etc which I could not see before.

I will give it a go when it rains, if it works then i need to look at replacing the wipers I think, they are incredibly noisy...squealing (and squealing when cleaning them with a cloth) for genuine audi ones that are only a week old.

People rave about PIAA Si-Tech ones on these cars so...

give it another couple of passes with the Bar Keepers and it should stop the juddering, it sounds like you're almost there :thumb:

 

Sounds like your getting there mate

If after a few more goes with the BKF you still have some remaining issues, then another suggestion I have seen is to slightly 'twist' the wiper arm itself so as to present the wiper blade to the screen at a different angle.

 

I would try bosch blades to see if the blades are root cause.

 

Whenever I’ve had juddering or skipping wiper blades it’s always a case of scrub the screen to death and then use a terry cloth soaked in WD40 or GT85 to clean the wiper blades. Keep cleaning the blades until the cloth isn’t fetching black off the blades.

Always worked for me.

 

BKF solved it for me on many cars and always using OEM and not any kind of Bosch wipers as on last 3 cars all Bosch fitted juddered like an skipping kangaroo

 

Mine were driving me crazy! I had glass sealant on but my wipers were driving me crazy juddering, I just used a cutting compound and a das6 to machine polish it off, was off in 2 mins, coating totally dead. what a relief! So I stupidly used a snow foaming sio2 coating all over the car and the wiper judder was back, machined it again with menzerna cutting compound and it was dead again. will stick to hand waxing from now on!.

 

I would go with Cerium Oxide pasta with rayon pads.
If you don’t have a machine polisher, you can buy a hand puck applicator for them.
A detailer wouldn’t charge you an arm and a leg to remove it however.

 

Check wiper arms the Rubber blade must be at right angle 90 degree to glass
If the wipers froze one morning that can be enough
Used to be really common quick twist can sort

 

Carpro Ceriglass..and a good arm workout if you don't have a machine polisher:thumb:

I'd charge you a nominal fee to remove...£25

Cheers,

Chris

 

I had issues with smearing and juddering. Tried a few things. Strong cleaners, magic erasers. new blades etc.

This is what cleaned it - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Soft99-G...-Glass-Compound-Roll-On-Glass-Screen-Cleaner-Polish-MADE-IN-JAPAN-/402309524902

Then the glass sealant - https://www.amazon.co.uk/SOFT99-410...co-Roll-Large-Glass-Cleaner/dp/B0035ZJYB8/ref=pd_lpo_2?pd_rd_i=B0035ZJYB8&psc=1

If I ever get issues with glass I go straight to the cleaner.
