Permanent Water Marks On Rear Window

Ive had the car for about 3 years or more and yes, those spots were on it since I bought the car and there still there! Ive tried alot of things to take it off even clay bar but nothing....Is there anything I can get at Autozone or something to take it off? I can order online of course but I dont like waiting.

If you have a NAPA store near by, there is a product called Nu Glass. Its in a small white bottle with some blue writing. It takes a little elbow work, but I did a 06 Maxima that seem to have NEVER been towel dried. The glass felt like sandpaper. This stuff is great and I have used it for years. The next thing (if you can find it) is AJAX but it has to be in a yellow can, not the other. That and a little water makes a paste and will take care of the spots as well.

I tried clay bar but it did not remove the spots at all..made it smoother to feel but the stains are still there. I will try that Danasa water spot removal that someone else mentioned in another thread.

if you have a pc I would recommend some Meguiars cleaner/wax in the red bottle from pretty much anywhere, I have been using it to remove water spots from the cars i'm detailing for a local car lot.

I used this to get wiper blade marks off my windshield that nothing else could do. A little pricey but I can say it works. You'll need a PC to do it and it takes some elbow grease, but the windshield is like new.
