I was following a truck today and some sort of film has covered my windscreen.I washed it first with car wash then tried window cleaner, then a citrus cleaner, wiped it with a chamois but it is still there - any ideas to remove it please

Seriously, you shouldn't be using all that junk on the windscreen. Just a decent windscreen cleaner like Philm Off will degrease it. I never HAVE to wash my windscreen aside from the recommended washer fluid concentration (1:20) plus Rain-X in the reservoir and decent wiper blades and it's so clear it's unbelievable. I've never used a fluid of any kind inside - just a dry glass cloth. I can't stand a dirty windscreen and I've yet to see one clearer than mine.

Something was coming from the back of the truck - I tried the window washers first which have windscreen cleaner in- I have never had anything like this before - I will get some Philm Off tomorrow and try that - thank you

Also try your local Holden dealer. They will have (or can get) ACDelco wiper blades that are very very good quality. And priced good too, most priced way below $20 dollars each. And the replacement refill rubbers are the good ones - not the crappy plastic backed refills.

The car is only 1 month old so wiper blades should be good
