i can highly recommend using cerium oxide to clean the windscreen, it removes all residue its like having new wipers and a brand new windscreen  :driver:

Where can I source some of this magical stuff?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

from good ol` ebay lol  just search for cerium oxide.
its great stuff just mix a small amount, polish the screen then clean off .   takes all residue off and gets the glass like new. 

i used it as i got some new wipers and they were acting rubbish ( squeaking, juddering)   did the screen with this and all was sorted  :jumpmove:   was about to send the wipers back!

RainX on the front screen is not recommended - great on the others though

Where did you hear that  :confused:  ?

I've used it for years and find it best on the windsreen ... no bugs get "stuck" on in the Summer and in the Winter I don't even need to use my wipers once over 50mph  :grin:
