im curious. It was not raining at this moment but there is a light streak. i havent seen it in good weather footages. @jokiin Do you know why and how ?
I have cleaned it today few times with some dedicated fluids
- What exact dedicated fluids did you use ? Any brand, make, or link to the product ?
- have you also cleaned your car windshield from inside as well ?
I have no idea how good/bad is the windshield for small scratches, but I haven't notice any for few years. Couple weeks ago a small stone hit the shield and I could not see any scratch afterwards. Maybe a stupid question, but is there a way to check how good the windshield is for that?- how good (bad) is your windshield for small scratches and tiny stone chips ?
What I am still wondering about and can't come to the reason is the overall video quality. I mean, quality looks good, like you said. License plates can be read most of the time, which is great. However, please have a look at this video posted on this forum:overall quality looks good, can even read license plates of other cars moving at the same speed ( screenshots below ), but yeah, there is a flare which can be caused by few factors.
Sounds good, I will put video after testing.As a quick test you could attach the camera to a different window or simply stop the car in a place with streetslights like above and take the camera out of the car and let it record the same scene w/o the windscreen in between.
Will do and perform the tests again. This should remove the flares effect to some extent.buy proper automotive glass cleaner, if you use cleaner with Ammonia in it can easily cause this problem, automotive glass cleaner will be marked as safe for tinted windows

If the flares are going to stay anyway, and probably because of me being not able to clean the windshield properly (or scratches on it), i can live with that, but what bothers me the most at the moment is the overall video quality :/
actually as pointed out in the screenshots @niko posted earlier the video looks quite alright aside from the flaring, a clean window can make a lot of difference though so there still may be some gains to be had
comparing to other video taken elsewhere is never going to work, different place and time will show different results always
Agree, and when I clean the windows I wipe horizontally on the inside, and vertically on the outside. That way you can see at a glance if you missed anything and whether it is on the inside or outside.buy proper automotive glass cleaner, if you use cleaner with Ammonia in it can easily cause this problem, automotive glass cleaner will be marked as safe for tinted windows

Do you use the same stuff for inside and outside cleaning? (can be a lame question, I know).buy proper automotive glass cleaner, if you use cleaner with Ammonia in it can easily cause this problem, automotive glass cleaner will be marked as safe for tinted windows
