Am the proud owner of a black on black 3 Sport GT.   Car is beautifully put
together with no problems to report in the
first 2 months of ownership - 2200 kms.  My only complaint is that I have
some chemical film on the windshield that
is nicely baked on with 2 months of solid sun.  Car came from the dealership
with this film and there is no window
product that I have used that will touch it.    Any Suggestions?

Thanks
:)

While idly wondering if the Pakmara can really do that, Brian said:

Double check with a local auto glass place before doing this:  Use a
very fine grit steel wool to clean the outside surface of the
windshield.  Outside surface only, as the inside surface probably has a
safety film.

Take it back to the dealership and have them take care of it, it is only
2 months old.  They do have a bumper to bumper warranty initially.  I
bought an '03 Protege last fall that I noticed had a slight hazing in
the paint on the horizontal surfaces(hood, roof, trunk lid), I took it
back after 3 months of ownership and they gladly took care of it.
Shines like glass now...I wouldn't use steel wool on your windshield, I
foresee many minute scratches coming out of that procedure...

A very, very fine grit.  Works more like a polishing cloth than an
abrasive.  And I +did+ say to check with your local glass shop before
doing it.
