    DonJuan692006 got a reaction from Michael1 in Water Spot Remover Issue -- Any Suggestions?   
    I'd like to know as well since I have the same issue. I used WW just as the video showed. Notice that it's not everywhere. 
     
    My theory; my glass was "coated" by the manufacturer (which didn't work worth a hoot). I tried polishing off the water spots about a year ago with mediocre results. What I think happened is that my polishing removed that factory coating in some spots (the clear areas in the pic) and the hazing is a reaction between the coating, where it still is, and the Water Spot Remover. Partially supported by the fact that the haze is only where the water spots aren't.

    To add, it also depends on what you have planned. If you're wanting to start over and make sure that you have any other coatings removed (aside from ceramic) then go with the strip wash. 
     
    Maintenance wash on a traditionally coated vehicle, Wash and Wax is my go-to.
     
    Maintenance wash for a vehicle getting a fresh coat of existing top coat (e.g. reapplying wax) then you can't go wrong with Car Shampoo, Ultra Foam, or Mega.
     
    Having tried them all, Mega is my favorite. Less because of it foaming more than the others but more because it clings much better. You'll really see the difference on a coated vehicle. The others will slide off pretty quickly while Mega tends to stay in place.

    I started renovating my house back in January, 2017 and pretty much everything else but work and family was pushed to the wayside. Finished the house and got it sold, moved from VA to NC, bought a newly built house, and spent a few months making it 'home'. I'm finally getting back around to being able to put some time in the Stang and giving it some much needed love. It needs a paint job due to a lot of chipping/flaking and clear coat failure in a handful of spots, but that's not stopping me from getting it looking it's best. I spent this past weekend knocking the following out:
    Strip wash Two passes with clay Strip wash to remove clay residue Three step polish where I could get (currently only have the SK21) HCP with the blue foam pad CP with the orange foam pad PFP with the white foam pad The hood was the only exception in that I started with the MF cutting pad Strip wash to remove polish residue Whole car topped with H20 GG. I'd completely forgotten why I love Adam's so much (that's a lie, but needed for emphasis). It still has a ways to go, but definitely a major step in the right direction.

    Thanks folks.
     
    The final process ended up being:
     
    1. Scrubbed down with APC.
    2. Scrubbed with TRC.
    3. Apply BTR; let sit overnight (about 16 hours); wipe away excess.
    4. Apply BTR; let sit for 24 hours; wipe away excess.
    5. Wipe down with CP.
    6. Applied coat of ceramic. Wait for one hour.
    7. Apply second coat of ceramic. Waited three hours.
    8. Reinstalled everything. She'll sit in the garage until Thursday.
     
    Now, just to see how long it lasts.

    Yesterday I used Spray Wax on the kitchen windows after giving them a thorough cleaning. The lovely Mrs. liked that so much I did the rest of the downstairs windows this morning.
     
    Every spring I APC the Rubbermaid mailbox then wipe it down with VRT.
