Water stains on windows/mirrors….ideas to remove?

[bloc]

This absolutely will work. Personally I strongly dislike rain-X though. The reason I polish windshields is that is the only surefire method to remove it on used vehicles I buy where it has been applied.

I just spent an hour with a razor blade and can’t tell any difference. I even tried some Zep acidic toilet cleaner….no go. Time to take it to a pro I think.

pro will use steel wool grade 0000, this isn’t hard.

Have you tried the 100% acetone yet?

I’ll try to get some of this if the steel wool doesn’t work.

Grade 0000 steel wool and your preferred window cleaner.

Dry, no fluids.

Didn’t work. I even put it on an orbital sander.

I think this stuff should be studied as it is obviously the hardest material ever found..

Seriously!! It was from Florida.

Tried vinegar, vinegar/baking soda, acidic toilet cleaner, Lime Away, steel wool 0000 on an orbital sander. Must be nuclear.

Just use it with water?

Yes. Use a soft sponge and wet the area to be cleaned. Then sprinkle some of the Bom ami on the damp sponge and go over the area in a circular motion. Rinse and you're done.

I can vouch for Sud Factory

They have the best water spot remover for the glass and side mirrors.

You might want to try the Spotless X2 for glass water spot removal for the windows. Since you have some on your side mirrors you can use the Dissolve X2 paint water spot remover. Make sure it's plastic, which is usually the case. If your side mirrors are actually glass (most case it is not glass) then you use the Spotless X2.

This should solve your problems without asking twice.

CLR works better than Lime Away. I put a small amount on a Magic Eraser and keep another rag below to keep it from dripping on paint. Had great success in car windows.

I have also used polish and car wax on windows, which also works.

I have used Cerama Bryte with a damp sponge on windshields, headlight lenses, windows, even painted areas etc... which is also what my wife uses to clean the electric stovetop. I've also used it on stainless steel knives, pie servers etc... to polish ithem Standard disclaimer: start carefully with a small spot yada yada yada...
