0 mc2hill Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 You can use the 4" pads and the polishes to remove water spots, but Adam's does not sell anything abrasive enough to remove scratches on glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rtsoul Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 That's what I thought but I wanted to ask before I tried it, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BlueGenCoupe Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 You can use the 4" pads and the polishes to remove water spots, but Adam's does not sell anything abrasive enough to remove scratches on glass. I agree, 4" orange pads and SHR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Side mirrors are usually plastic arent they? Try the 4" pads and shr, if you can not get enough pressure because the mirror is moving, try the hand applicator(flip). Those mirrors are usually pretty easy to clean up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mike690001 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 maybe vinegar if its hard water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rcode99 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Maybe an old clay bar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rcode99 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 maybe vinegar if its hard water Or try a little diluted lime away or a product called CLR, being careful NOT to drip any on the paint. I've used it about 50/50 mix. It take a little longer but it works. Then rinse. Goog luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 joeobx Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I agree, 4" orange pads and SHR if your using a PC, if you your using a drill I'd try the white pad and machine polish....you don't want to know how I know this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 TazMan Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I'm sure some where on this forum there is info on cleaning off hard water spots and scratches off of mirrors but I can't seem to find anything. If normal washing and vinegar wont remove the sports what will? I recall on one of Adams video's, he mentions using the claybar on all your glass and mirrows which should resolve the problem. If not, I agee with the other members on taking the more aggressive approach with the SHR. Let us know what worked best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Team Adam's Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Start with clay... then move to polish. I regularly use SHR on an orange pad to polish spots from glass and it works excellent. If that doesn't work you can try 0000 steel wool lubed heavily with glass cleaner. After all those, if you still have spots you're dealing with etching and likely will need to replace the glass.
