Problem area on my Mustang

[DSG Mustang GT]

Ive got a few problem areas on my Mustang I need some help with.

One is the windshild. You can see where the wipers wiped. Almost scratched. I've tryed claying, did nothing. All started when I used a water spot remover. I'll try to get a good picture.

 

Thanks

try claying the service if that doesnt work take som Bon Ami cleanser and water and clean the windshield. we used to use the cleanser for micro scope slides at school. but claying may take alot of that off it sounds like whatever you put on was more like a coating ( like a wax) and now it smears because it no longer slides and leaves rubber residue on the window. Again this is shooting from the hip without seeing the pics.

Tryed claying before, my dad mentioned useing Bon Ami but I can't find it at any local store.

 

Also, the car has no wipers anymore. Took the off. Lol

Swirl & Haze Remover + Orange Pad on the PC... that works most times to scour glass really well. Its not aggressive enough to correct scratches, but the abrasives will scrub any residues from the surface.

 

When you're done clean with alcohol and apply our Glass Sealant.

Thanks. I tryed to get a picture but couldn't get a good angle.

 

I read some where use 0000 steel wool. Would that work?

I would go to steel wool AFTER trying the polish... #1 rule in detailing is always go with the least aggressive method to address the problem first.

Thanks for the help. I don't hav water spots, just scratched, pitted, rough 100k mile glass. I'll give it a shot! Thanks

What Dylan said is SPOT ON, I've done exactly that on previous rides. Works 100% amazing!!

Oh... then none of the things you're looking at are going to address that. Paint polishes don't have the level of abrasive needed to 'cut' glass. And steel wool is for removing stubborn water spots... not for removing scratches and other damage.

 

You can't fix what isn't there! So if there is pits... thats it... you need to replace the glass.

 

Scratches in glass don't polish out easily and its a VERY messy process involving cerium oxide and a bronze wool pad on a rotary polisher. I recently did this to remove some damage to our shower doors before selling our house. It made an ABSOLUTE mess and was a real pain.

I was worried you would say replace the windshild. Thats not going to be cheap. I'll try to get a picture regardless. It's a eye sore. Whole car is clean except for that. And at night it's horrible.

 

Just to be clearer, I used water spot remover and it got water spots out. But afterwards left the windshild "bare" and exsposed every scratch and defect that I didn't knowticed before. Hard to explain, sorry for the confusion. Thanks guys, liking this forum!
