Are you just trying to see if I`ll do it or are you serious?

**Jellyrolls** · 05-18-2004, 07:41 PM

im dead serious...i have seen it in some truck mag and i have seen on some websites where they say it works...
no dude i would never trick someone into doing something like that to their truck with a chance of damaging or hard to get off lol

Tothpaste is a mild abrasive (polish).
It works good for a lot of things like polishing light scratches out of plastic.
I haven`t tried it on water spots yet but why not?

**Jellyrolls** · 05-18-2004, 08:08 PM

i wonder if it is safe to use on paint?

Ok-cool-thanks. I`ll try that on my dad`s car after the next wash.

Currently, I`ve used Zaino`s glass polish with very good results.

All depending on how bad it is.

Take your PC and some Menzerna IP, FP, or DACP or whatever you have handy and a yellow pad and let it fly on a higher speed, you will remove almost everything. Used this method on my Carrera on glass and rear view mirrors etc. and it will amaze you.
It`s glass your not going to burn through it.

How about we stop assuming that everyone has a PC?

:cool

Thanks for all the tips guys-keep em comin. I`ll probably try some stuff this weekend.

Sorry I wasn`t assuming you had a PC or rotary, I actually did my side mirrors with MF and Menzerna IP by hand. Try this, you will be like what the hell was I wasting all this time for.

91LSMAN, if you havent solved your water spot problems yet, try SPot-X hard water stain remover. I work at a body shop and that`s what we use, it takes alot of elbow grease, but it works great..The first time i used it I did a 4runner in about 3 hours. If you`re interested goto this website http://spot-x.com/ I think we get it from Home Depot for around $10. Go here for the directions on how to use it http://spot-x.com/Hints.htm#anchor954185
