Issue with new Andersen windows

[joec]

I installed several large Andersen picture windows this summer. I peeled the protective film off as soon as I was finished. Now I find I have to clean the windows almost every week (I surely need to) as it almost immediately collected spots, dust etc. I guess it has a sticky residue left over from the film. Anyone here have any experience with this and the removal of this residue?

What! Protective film!
I replaced 4 a year ago and haven't had that problem. Mine didn't have any stickum, just static hold.

Our new Andersen windows were installed by Andersen a few months ago. They removed the film and cleaned the windows with a spray can cleaner but I don't know what it was. I saw them remove the film.

You might contact Andersen and ask them what their installers use.

I called Andersen and they are sending me some instuctions.

B-12 carbreutour cleaner is used to remove residue from household window tint. Worked well for me. Keep it away from vinyl.
