Windshield gleam/haze

Just got a new (used) car a week ago. This haze looks like it is inside of the windshield, and it’s only on the path of the windshield wipers, like it’s smeared on . (Not on the inside of the car, but like a coating went ontop of the smeared haze if that makes sense. I can’t tell a texture difference or anything.)

I tried washing/cleaning first, Isopropyl alcohol, clay bar and lubricant, also changed the wipers immediately because they were trashed. Nothing worked. Next I plan on using Invisible Glass - Glass Stripper. Any other tips or idea what it is? My previous car was 12 years old and I barely washed the thing and its windshield never looked this bad.

Dealers being shady when trying to cancel warranty.

Idk what I expected. Bought a 2017 Toyota Camry from PDX Motorcars for $17,300. I was coerced into getting the stupid warranty that I could cancel “anytime” and wouldn’t start getting prorated until 6 months.

Well, I tried cancelling the next day. Was told to just send a picture of the odometer. Did that. No word. I called the warranty company and they said that it was under “admin review” for 30-60 days and I couldn’t do anything, unless I talk with the dealer and sign a form and it’ll expedite it.

The finance guy told me he would send a cancellation form via email that day. I never received it. Next day, I was ignored. I finally walked in. They gave me a form to sign. I did and asked for a copy.

Driving home realized the institution name on the form is incorrect. I called that company and they said they didn’t have my information on file. I called the dealership back, he said it’s the same thing? He also says the bank hasn’t paid them and that once they do he will immediately send the bank back $3,995 for the warranty.

I find the owner contact info and send him an email threatening to report to BBB, the credit union, and state attorney general. (I don’t think this will actually do anything.) and the owner reached out and APPARENTLY voided my warranty since I just financed the car 5 days ago. He also took a picture of a check made out to Rivermark that he says he put in the mail today, and says to check with my bank in 5-7 days.

Which I know the check will conveniently get “lost in the mail” and not make it to the bank.

I don’t know what to do. I’m legit losing sleep because I’m so stressed about their shady tactics and my car being marked up $4k.

I used my credit card for a $5k deposit. Is chargeback an option??

Hydrogel Pads for Burn

Burn on my neck from yesterday. (Incident at work.) Last night I went to Walgreens and got their brand of hydrogel pads. Felt fine until I switched it this morning, I used scent free soap and water to clean it, applied the second one, then throughout the day it started to create the redness surrounding it. I read up I should be leaving them on for more than a day at a time, maybe I switched it too soon? Tonight I created a saline solution with boiled distilled water (let cool) and 1/2 tsp salt, and cleaned the area.

I also just got these new hydrogel pads delivered from Amazon (Second picture) but I haven’t used them yet

Should I cover it with one of the new pads despite how red/irritated it is around the burn? Or let it stay open?

This is an updated post, last week I posted about my cat having MCT’s removed. Well, she had her drainage tube removed on Friday. She put up a gnarly fight and it took them a while to get it out and remove the two suture holding it. In the process she ripped a couple sutures along the incisions I didn’t notice until we got home, so I emailed the vet and sent pics. They said it doesn’t look urgent, she’ll be ok, and that I shouldn’t clean it with the chlorhexidine wipes as it’ll prevent healing.

This is two days later, still oozing from her incision site. I’m not sure if this is infection or not. Sent another email to the vet, they don’t open again until Tuesday. Looking for advice on what I’m looking at, and if it calls for an urgent care visit or not.
