Clean the windshield with a professional glass cleaner. It’s important to clean the glass first so the Aquapel can bond with the glass (and not any residue or dirt sitting on top of the glass). Spray glass cleaner onto the windshield and use a paper towel or rag to wipe it clean.

Just use a 50/50 mix of rubbing alcohol and water. The alcohol mix will not remove it.. since washer fluid is a strong mix of alc and water... use a paint cleaner product or a fine polish the get it off...or even a glass polish like 1Z glass polish...
