come on guys dont take the piss..

I cant use cilit bang as you canuse it on painted surfaces or plastic's i've already looked at that,
Also it wont scrape off with your nail or even a small metal scraper..

Its over the windscreen and takes about 10 minuits to scrape off with a blade and i've got to use some shower glass cleaner to soften it for 5 minuits before.. Its a propper shit this stuff

Not too sure mate, my pal works at a car wash and they've got it - not too sure what brand it is or anything.

I had limescale on my old justy, went to a local valet place, they gave me some green liquid, said spray that and ten mins later rub it, it just slide off. Not that, that is any help at all, but if theres any near you, sure a good tar/grim remover, left to soak will do its work.

White vinegar. put it on for an hour or so then wipe the scale off.

THen wash it off.

Check vinegar is safe on paint first though

jet wash doesn't do jack to it.. I went hunting through the house for something to use, finally found some cif foaming cream spray or what ever its called, spray it on and leave for 10 minutes then agitate and wash off, its cleared the stuff off the screen and the wing but it only got a little bit of the roof and sun roof, so im going to have to do it again when i have some time
