Window smoked from AC drip

Looking for a product to remove smoked/fogged damage from driver side window from AC drainage. Rather dangerous. Hard to see out; especially at night. Paid $300+ for replacement window. It happened again. Please help.

Nothing in AC condensate that I know of that will etch glass. Typically the residual leaching of roof paint or leaching of a rubber roof is easily cleaned off with a glass cleaner.

Does your coach have a leveling system? If yes, make slight adjustments to level to cause the condensate to flow elsewhere.
If you use blocks under your tires to level the coach, then block the coach to cause the water to move elsewhere.

If it doesn't come off with a paper towel and window cleaner, try mr clean magic eraser or 0000 steel or bronze wool and the window cleaner

Window smoked from AC drip

Sounds like it’s the inside of it is fogged not etched. Crappy design of those dual pane windows. They simply do not last. Needs to be repaired or replaced IMO if it is fogged. Probably not because of the ac condensate drip also.

AC drainage has caused a hazing or glazing on my mirror also. I think I'll try steel wool on it. Does anyone know if that is appropriate to use on mirrors?
Thanks,

I have used steel wool and rubbing compound to remove etched watermarks from glass. then polish it with a good wax. I would not use it on a windshield.

Recently had drip guards installed over windows. Sadly, damage has been done

You can also use Bonami to clean glass . It is a required cleaner by GM when performing testing on windshield wiper systems. I have also have had good luck with 303 detailer cleaning water spots and run off streaks

I have the same issue on my Bay Star. Even adding the gutter extensions hasn’t totally resolved the issue of the water spots on the glass. Last year I used a product from Meguiar's to clean the windows up.
