<p>[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 7816995, member: 105098"]in all honesty, the haze may wash off with distilled water and not require anything harsher. possible a quick rinse in distilled water would knock it off as long as it hasn't been there long enough to set in (think like a foggy mirror, it will fog up, it will go away, if you never clean the mirror, the fog will eventually dry on there and haze the mirror requiring a window cleaner to break it down. if rinsing don't work you could try rolling q-tips with distilled water over it to wet it and lift it.</p><p><br /></p><p>If it is new as you say, then it's likely not set yet/ dried and could be rinsed away, or rolled off the surface with a q-tip and distilled water.
