hi my wife who drives a 206 keeps getting a white film in the mornings over the outside of her windscreen which makes driving into the sun very difficult any thoughts on what is causing it and how to remove it?

Have you tried degreasing the screen and then polishing it with a decent glass cleaner?
If it's only in the mornings, could be the overnight dew that has settled. Mine does it and even when you use the wipers it doesn't completely go until I have driven a few hundred yards

A good car specific glass cleaner. Or some people swear by vinegar wiped off with newspaper. Whatever you do do not get car polish onto the glass - that is the best way to make it horrible and smeary when wet.
Also, once clean it is probably worth getting new wipers. If there is something contaminating the windscreen it has probably impregnated the wipers and using the wipers will just put it back on the glass.
The ONLY wipers worth fitting are Bosch. Expensive yes but all other makes don't last, get juddery, squeaky and smeary very quickly!

Pretty much this. When I first got my car I would use the wipers and I'd get white blotches all over the glass - looked like tree sap!
No matter how many times I cleaned the glass it would always come back. I got some Bosch Aero Wipers, cleaned the glass with Autoglym Fast Glass and then polished with Autoglym Glass Polish, and then stuck some Rain-X on there for good measure, and have never had an issue since!
