Default Did Rain-x ruin my windshield or is it normal (how to make it better)?

I looked more closely at the windshield in the early morning hours just
now. The spotty film is all over the windshield - everywhere. I really
doubt tree sap would be everywhere. Pretty much, it has to be something
that was 'smeared' on somehow since every inch of the windshield is
covered.

Funny thing, today it was damp enough for fog to be on the inside and I
noticed even the inside had the spotty film. It's BOTH on the inside and on
the outside. Jeeeezus.

I tried the brake cleaner for about 20 minutes and I hope that works. I
rubbed with a white towel and applied the brake cleaner from a spray can.
The stuff dries pretty quickly so I had to keep applying it. You can get
high in my car now, just sitting there, so I left the windows open. We'll
see if it works to get rid of whatever it is that is smeared on both the
inside and the outside of the windshield.
