Convertible Back Window Cleaning

Hi all,

I put the 303 water repellant on my top today, and it made the top look great. However, when I applied it, it got on my windows. I feel as if I was able to get it off all the windows but the back window. Dead on, the back window looks clear, however, if I look at it at an angle when the sun in shining, it looks greasy (for lack of a better description). I don't know if this is from the cleaner or from a products at the car wash.

Is this back window glass? Any recommendations on a strong window cleaner? I was going to try rubbing alcohol or white vinegar.

Thanks.

It's glass. I would try a quality window cleaner like 3M or Stoner. If that doesn't work how about a mix of Dawn (to cut grease/wax) and water in a spray bottle?

Next time, you might try RaggTopp protectant for the top as any overspray easily wipes off all windows and trim.
