Hey Shane. Yes, I have clayed the windows, and some came up. The photo's here are after claying. As of now, I just want to nail down a polish material and pad and give it a whirl. Thanks

Not as long as I'm married with children lol

I'd be happy with the condition it was in from the factory. This car has been garaged most of it's 22k miles, was driven by an old lady, and for a car that is 14 years old it's in great shape, I mean really great shape. It deserves to look it's best. So while I'm not sure what you mean by "perfection", these spots are driving me nuts! A machine and polish are in my future, blcksilv08 mentioned a microfiber pad and correction polish. Blcksilv08. I'm guessing the 5.5" mf pad and Adams correcting polish will do the job?

Thanks. The water/vinegar tended to remove particles, and made the spots less noticeable, but it seems to be etched in the glass and that's what I'm looking to remove and I'm not sure that clay will get the result I'm looking for. But it is certainly something I will try. I think at this point, it's going to take a machine and some polish, hunt goes on. Thanks again.

Thanks Shane and Wolf. I've seen lots of paint correction vid's, but not too many glass correction vids at least not any that will leave me with no scratches in my glass. I've seen a couple but they're boasting their own products, of course. So if I were to start here, what pads and product do you recommend to rid of the spots on my glass. And if any transfer over to paint, that would be good to know. My silver paint doesn't reveal much in the way of defects. I was able to spot some spots, but barely. Here are some photo's. This is the sun roof, you can see where I removed the spots via Bar Keepers Friend. After seeing the scratches in the mirror and rear window, I stopped. Scratches I put in the passenger side mirror, only noticeable at night with a car's headlights in the mirror. Looks good otherwise, You can barely see the spots on the left side of the paint This is the windshield, it's clear where the wipers track Scratches in the rear window. It's just in the upper corner that I can't see in the rear view mirror.

Thanks for the quick reply Shane. I've been watching a lot of video's, I'm a DIY'er, and Junkman's vid's have given me the confidence to go and attack my situation. I understand he has left your forums, which is a shame, but life goes on. I think I have an idea on what machine I'll land on, I know the importance of a good backing plate and pads are, as well as a good product. I wrench for a living and know the difference between good expensive tools, and cheap tools that will get you by in a pinch. Do you have any video's of using your product to remove heavy water spots on glass? My search hasn't found any on your site. Just glass cleaner and sealant. I think I'm beyond cleaner and sealant right now. Thanks!

I’m not a detailer , nor do I pretend to be one. Truth is ( don’t cringe) I’ve been taking my car to the car wash for years! But we have had both our cars totaled over the summer and have been forced to buy new cars, well kind of. We bought my wife a new Mazda CX-9, and I purchased a 2003 Acura CL with 22k miles. Yes, that’s 22,000 miles. So now that we have nice cars, it’s time to treat them right. The reason for me coming here is that my wife’s car is dark colored, and my car has real nasty water spots. I tried water/vinegar, letting it soak and scrub like **** to no avail, water spot remover, no help and then Bar Keepers friend, which worked really well but left micro scratch’s in the test area of glass. So please point me to the correct forum room to discuss my water spots, and hello!
