Re: Glass water spots

ive had good luck with duragloss's nu glass polish. it may take a couple applications for severe water spots, but it gets the job done.. other members on here like the rain x glass polishing stuff you can get at any autozone, advanced, or pepboys.

Re: Glass water spots

I used megs 83 on the last one. Made the windows look brand new. The steel wool is good too.

Re: Glass water spots

I have used a product called A-MAZ on very tough ones (thick paste and messy to use) and DP's Glass Restorer seems to work pretty good. I have used both with a DA.

Re: Glass water spots

Meguiars heavy cut cleaner and a terry cloth towel-does wonders on water spots on windows as well as shower doors. In fact I keep the bottle under the bathroom sink.

Re: Glass water spots

A product called Driven to Perfection Glass Cleaner. It's an acid based gel that will take care of them with no problem. Don't get it on paint though...rememeber......acid based.

KAIO works great as well!!

Re: Glass water spots

White vinegar while the windows are cool. Does not works so great on hot windows.

Re: Glass water spots

A 50/50 of Vinegar and water.
OR
HD UNO and their orange pad (found it to not be very effective on paint, but great for windows)
