Ok this is my wife jet washing the front of her car (mine is behind her) i took a cheeky snap of her through her back window she never knew i was there ha ha.
Very rare to see her hand washing her car usually i get told to do them all or she goes through the local car wash.
My request is this can you remove the white haze from the image leaving it as good and as clear as possible?
I can do it but i am interested to see how you guys do, please watermark if you wish, but i honestly have no wish to keep it, this was taken solely with the forum in mind.

Three adjustment layers.

edit: Added the unsharp mask (I don't think I went high enough), it really helped the her hair and blouse. I toned down the brightness a bit.

I set the white point and the black point.
With curves I increased the mid tones.
Added a litte unsharp masking.
No color corrections.

Ahhhhhhh.........the unsharp mask makes a huge difference. You can really see it's effect in her hair.
