I accidently sprayed tire cleaner on my windshield thinking it was windex. Stupid!! I know, but my windshield is now greasy and when it rains and I use the wipers, they water just streaks. I dont know how to get the stuff off! When I clean it with windex it is fine but as soon as the window gets wet and I have to use the wipers, it just streaks and leaves marks when it dries. Please help!!

Go to the hardware store and ask for "Goof Off." You can also get it at places like Walmart for example. This well-known solvent product removes dried paint as well as adhesive, sticker residue, gum, crayon, tar, OIL (like your tire spray), marker, pen, lipstick, scuff marks, candle wax, grease and much more!
I work at a car lot and we've got tire sprays blown onto the windows on a windy day and I know this works. It kinda disolves anything it comes in contact with. Be carefull not to get it on the paint of your car. If you do, rinse it off immediately.

Take a few swigs and then pour a bottle of Jack Daniels on your windshield. Wipe it down afterwards.

GOO GONE!!! ITS sold as a sprits bottle and regular screw top, anywhere, autozone, advanced,walmart, etc... it takes it all off!! and with a kick azz fresh orange sent@@
dont use mineral oil (duh oil??) and don't use paint thinner unless you hate the color of your car!!!
I had wax from hand waxing my car on my windshield wipers and when i sprayed goo gone on it, it went away! read the instructions, let it set a few min, and wal-lah!!! its good as gold again!!!

Clean the windshield with metholated spirits using scrunched-up newspaper instead of cloth.

try mineral spirits (paint thinner) put on a rag and wipe off it won't hurt your paint - I use it to remove tar from my paint on my cars

I hope your aim at the toilet is better than your aim at the tires!

try rubbing alcohol, it should eat up the oil.
