Hey guys I was wondering how I get the water spots off of my windows and sideview mirrors that have built up over the lifetime of the car. I want to look in the sideview mirrors and not have them look like crap thanks. I tried windex but that made no improvement.

 

i heard part vinegar and part water does wonders

 

at honda they use really fine steel wool. just spray a good amount of windex on the windows and then just use the steel wool like u would if u were sanding. apply a good amount of pressure and then just wipe it dry when youre done. if u still have water spots then just do it again i guess.

 

that should do the trick shoot a pm to exceldetail in the wash and wax forums he should be able to help u out

 

go with steel wool, that shit works wonders

 

i heard some bad stuff about steel wool... depends what kind I guess and how hard u scrub

 

is there anyone how has actually used one of these methods bc i have crazy water spots on all of my windows and i have been looking for a way to get them off

 

you could always buy a claybar (under 20 bucks)...and that should remove anything and everything that's stuck on the glass. Don't use a detailer spray with it either, just water and clay....that should create a lot more friction so you can pick up all the debris

I need to do this too when the weather gets better...tree sap sucks

 

^clay bar is the shit ..i've never used it on windows though

im a detailer at Acura and when ever we have shit on the windows I just use steel wool and the window is good as new

 

you should try this product called MX-7. it works wonders on hard water spots on glass. not too sure about paint... maybe it will. i think they had it advertising on tv on "as seen on tv". hope that helps. =)

 

Steel wool FTL

 

i work at a detail shop and we use steel wool. just use windex too

 

wtf steel wool on windows?

 

ya we use it on chrome too, and plastic chrome, but be careful on plastic

 

As long as you keep the glass wet it will be fine.

 

I use fine steel wool almost three times a year on my windows. DO NOT USE IT ON YOUR MIRRORS, it will scratch the hell out of them. I use compond and or clay bar on the mirrors. Compond is also a good way to get rid of minor scratchs out of your windows, I've removed scratchs with compond before.

 

i use a steam cleaner (scunci) and a paper towel to dry it off. just wax the windows/mirrors afterwards and you'll be good to go.

 

Stoner Invisible Glass, as advertised in Car and Driver. I haven't found anything better as of yet for cleaning glass

 

I tried claybar didnt work so I guess I will try steelwool do I just you the finest kind?

 

yup this guy game me sum n it works maybe works better with white vinger though not sure havent tried yet
