How can I clean fallout from my car's windshied?
I find myself staying home on snowy and rainy nights due to the greasy film on my car's windshield. I took it to the dealer, they identified it as fallout and told me what to do. They recommended very fine steel wool and lots of elbow grease. It didn't work. Apparently I am not the only one with this issue. While Googling around for answers, folks have suggested vinegar, Goo Gone, Dawn dish detergent, degreaser and etc. I have tried them all!
It is not safe to drive my vehicle, especially if it is raining, dark or I'm driving with oncoming traffic with their headlights on.
Has anyone out there had a similar problem and found a solution?

At this point is take it to a car detailing co and tell them that's a must to be fixed. Surely they have an answer. Never heard of this . Is it a new car? What kind, want to avoid it.
If it is greasy then you need to use a detergent that will degrease the glass and the wiper blades, maybe Simple Green? After you get it clean treat the glass with something that will make the glass slick like RainX. I imagine that this fallout is also on the hood of the vehicle and it seems like it would blow up onto the windshield if you don't address the hood as well. If this fallout is coming from a local source you may have help available from the source. If not contact the EPA.
Fallout from what? Do you live or work near an industrial section where this may have occurred?

I live across the street from one of Kentucky's largest bourbon distilleries. There is no doubt their fallout has contributed to the issue, however, the greasy film was on the windshield when I bought the car in a like new condition.
At this point is get a new windshield. Drive the Gene Snyder expressway , those trucks throw rocks up all the time, I lost my last windshield there. Cracked it good, scared me to death.
