Dry Compound/Polish

[mathews31]

So a few days ago, two to be exact I paint corrected my hood and my roof, now after doing a three step paint correction, I noticed a lot of dust on the car. I decided to take the car for a quick spin to blow off some of the dust. I then parked it in my garage and left it. Yesterday I took my car out and I realized that on the windshield there were little dots of dried up compound/polish (not sure which one). I tried using the windshield wiper fluid to remove them but that didn't work, and today there was snow on it, even after removing the snow, that didn't work...I don't know what to try so I'm wondering if anyone has any quick trick and tips to clean the glass and prevent this from happening next time.

A couple of things to keep in mind are that I don't have Adam's Glass Cleaner.

Clay bar?

Next time try putting a towel over your windshield to prevent splattering.  clay bar should take it off, if not try using a glass polish if you have any.  Vinegar might be worth a shot as well.

For removal try a clay bar with glass cleaner as the lube, you could try all purpose cleaner too.

 

Before you turn the polisher on spread the polish out in about a 2 foot area then start on speed 4.

Clay Bar with a small amount of Detail Spray as the clay lube will work fine on your glass since you said you don't have any Glass Cleaner at the moment. 

 

Even a very small amount of Correcting Polish on a hand applicator should remove the dried up compound dots from the glass as well. 

 

To prevent it from happening next time, make sure to spread the compound or polish around in the 2 foot by 2 foot area fairly well before powering on the machine, set the machine speed to low, 1 or 2, to spread the product a little more, then bring the speed up to 3 or 4 for most paint correction work, saving speed 5 and 6 for hard clear coats or more severe scratches and swirls.

I might add too if you keep your glass treated with Glass Sealant it will keep your glass nice and slick so it will clean up easier.

Amen to that. I did half the windshield on my car for test purposes. One side would have water spots and the sealed side would still be clean looking.
