Dreamworkz Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Clay will work and also steel wool will too, just make sure it's the fine steel wool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Dee Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 i have to detail a vehicle this weekend that has a messed up windshield from the owner taking a sponge with the green scrubby stuff on one side(I asked him what happened) and scrubbing the heck out of the windshield.

Kingsford Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Try some clay. If that doesnt work maybe some SHR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w0lfy Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 This might sound weird but one of my friends told me that he used vinegar and a terry cloth to get rid of his water spots. My mom used a vinegar based solution on her car. When she first purchased it nothing would strip that film off her windshield. We went thru a lot of stuff before finding something that would strip the film. the vinegar would only temporarily clear the film and after a month or so it would return. In the end we were told to try, of all things, GLASS TOP OVEN CLEANER , but it worked!!!!!!!!!! No more film used a extra soft MF & the class top oven cleaner to remove film (and was amazed), then throughly cleaned the glass, then applied a glass sealant & bingo bango never had another problem :banana: DISCLAIMER: the w0lfy takes no responsibility if damage occurs to glass using Glass Top Stove cleaner on windshields. Its prob not the product or advise anyhow that would cause damage but the technique , LMAO:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunky Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I have seen drizzle on glass that clay would not remove. It took a glass polish to remove them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdH63 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I've always used .0000 steel wool for water etching on glass. A little window cleaner and steel wool works great for glass and chrome. I save my clay for the paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanPop Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 In New England we have something called Bon-Ami, it may be national though, it's a powder somewhat like Comet. Applied to a wet foam applicator it works wonders on exterior glass without scratching. Use it before washing your car, rinse COMPLETELY as you don't want it on your paint when you wash the car.

Team Adam's Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I am guilty of occasionally hitting a touchless wash during the rainy season... if for nothing more than to knock the road grime loose. Since we go so long without rain around here when it does finally start in the winter the sludge that comes off the road is nasty. I'll hit the local touchless, then pull out, soak the truck with waterless wash and do a full wipe down. Good solution for when I know its probably just gonna rain again in the next few days.

roushpwrd Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 Could it be really hard water in that car wash? Mix that with soaps and a poor rinse...sounds probable. Have you washed the vehicle and it's still on there? A yes to that I am sure....he stated that the car wash didn't rinse properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
