    Cleanup is absolutely a time burn, but let’s also be real; they’ll go straight to it via GPS tracking and unless you get the windshield real good, someone will just get in and manual drive it back to the station.

      True … but it might be time to figure out a liquid combination that stains or is slightly corrosive. You don’t need to melt things, just corrosive enough to etch, mar or deform glass or plastics of sensor lenses.

      You clean everything up but realize that the liquid has permanently damaged an imaging lens cover, either with deep stains or corrosion.

      Then you replace it but then it costs money and time.

      And you do it over and over again

          Craft stores sell glass(*) etching cream that will absolutely do this (to the types of glass I’ve used it on). Unless there is some super specific chemistry to windshield glass, a jar of that should work.
