Very good question & that's why I said in the 1st place, this is definitely nothing to do with the tint film.
Unless, coincidentally, it's a defect from the tint itself just at the right time.

Anyhow, to dig the answer deeper,
first, I will polish the screen 1st;(please recommend me the strongest glass polish aka watermark remover, 755 nuglass? AG?)
second, I'll tear off the tint film before going for replacement.

My first change of the windscreen (hit by stone) the lamination broke in between after about 6 months use. And it got worse later on. From inside looks like got water droplets on the glass, but cannot feel them either from inside or outside.
This screen was hit by stone also and had a small crack point, a light touch and it cracked further so I change it again.
This time the glass had some water marks but I manage to clean it up, but the funny thing is when I applied Rain X on it, it does not bead water but instead smears it. I was like scratching my head. But after about 2 weeks of use then only it started beading water? smile_question.gif

Bro krismas, would you recommend Soft99 Glass Compound for one-in-a-while glass cleaning instead of AG or other similar products?

Consider the Soft99 Glass Compound something like a compound for paint. I'd recommend it for a thorough cleaning & polishing of the glass, like you said, once-in-a-while. After that, use anything like AG Glass Polish, DG Nu Glass, etc. for maintenance.

I'd say, same like above, go for Soft99 Glass Compound or Meg's M105/Ultimate Compound.

Have tried some acid that my friend got from his SC. Work well to remove the water marks on my ride's windscreen, but don't know what acid is that...... smile_tongue.gif

Just taken this shot under the hot sun.
This is how it looks like.
Watermark still there smile_big.gif

I don't felt any peel effect with my hand from inside/outside.

Bro kackwai. Does the glass look as though it has been stained white colour and cannot remove the white stain in certain areas?
