Default Clearing a Reisling

I read through the archives and nothing answered me so I'm going to ask
one of those questions that asked a thousand times.

How do I clear my wine?

It's a reisling from a kit with lousy instructions which I tried to
follow. As per the instructions I degassed (vigorously) and added
potassium meta and potassium sorbate. Then I added the packet of kieselsol.

It's been two weeks since and the wine is solid haze top to bottom. I
moved the carboy today, stirring it up a bit and the particulates were
very fine and sort of formed very fine strings.

Is there an additive I can use to help clear this wine without adding an
off flavour? Is using a filter a viable alternative? The shop down the
street rents them for $4).

Thanks for your advice,
Andrew
