As a veteran driver who has owned cars for many years, I've encountered the stubborn issue of white stains on the windshield several times. These are usually mineral deposits left behind after hard water evaporates, or caused by using low-quality cleaning agents during car washes that weren't rinsed off properly. My go-to solution is mixing white vinegar and warm water in a 1:1 ratio, spraying it on the glass to soak for a few minutes, then gently wiping with a soft cotton cloth—avoid applying too much pressure to prevent scratches. If that doesn't work, try using a specialized automotive glass cleaner from the supermarket, but opt for pH-neutral products for safety. Remember to work in the shade, not under direct sunlight, to prevent rapid water evaporation that could leave more marks. For regular car washes, using soft water or rainwater is better to prevent such issues. Safety first: if the stains are in the driver's line of sight, address them immediately—it's a serious hazard to driving safety. Prevention and prompt action are key; don't wait until nightfall when visibility becomes dangerously compromised.
