I bought my car in December in Florida. It had water spots on the glass, but I thought I could clean it my self with glass cleaner. Apparantly it is etched in. The guy who did my tint thinks its from acid rain. He says he can take it out w/ a chemical for $100.

Shouldn't the dealer be able to clean this up for me? It is also on the side view mirrors. I need any advice/experience with this any of you have had. Thanks.

try rain-x...

 

Couple of things to try. Rule of thumb, least abrasive first

1) White vinegar - straight, no dillution. Put it on a rag and rub it in really good. Try to avoid getting it on rubber and painted parts of the car.

2) http://www.crlaurence.com - Search on Bio-Clean. This stuff works magic on water spots. Gotta order it online, but it works really well. Read the info on it.

 

The dealer should take care of it for you if you just bought it!!!!!!

 

There is a product that you can order from the Eastwood Company:



Here is an excerpt from "My Classic Car"


Start Blurb:


"The kit contains Rhodite, a powder that when mixed with water on a 1:1 basis, forms a polish that will remove those minor scratches. Just mix the powder and place on the buffer pad that that is included, and then attach to a hand-held drill; however, we must mention that you should use a low speed drill that does not exceed 1,500 rpm. In just a few minutes of polishing, those minor scratches will be gone for good. If you have a question on whether or not this kit would work for you, remember this rule of thumb, “run a fingernail across the damaged area. If the nail does not catch on the scratch, then the windshield can be renewed!” Also, remember that when working with this polishing compound, or any other chemical mixture, you should work in a well-ventilated area and also use eye protection. Another tech tip here is to be sure to keep a spray bottle of water near by to prevent heat build-up when using the Glass Polishing Kit. The kit from Eastwood contains a buffing wheel, adapter for use with your electric drill, and one pound of polishing compound with instructions. Now the best part! This kit will only set you back for $32.99 and that is a small price to pay for increased vision and for those points that won’t be deducted at the next show! You can call the folks at Eastwood at 1-800-345-1178 in the U.S., or at 1-800-820-9042 in Canada. You can also find them on the web at www.eastwoodcompany.com. "

BTW -- the stuff works on tempered and non-tempered glass (side windows, front windows, etc -- call them for details). There is also stuff from others...

(This is the stuff -- if you only have water spots, you could try the Zaino glass polish)

 

Try brasso it is a mild abrasive that is used alot to unscratch watchs. Also go to the store and look for a glass polish like meguirs.
