    Does anyone know where I can find Autoglym Glass Polish in canada? I looked in canadian tire and lordco, couldnt find anything.



    From what ive read on this forum (which is awesome by the way) I should be using Autoglym glass polish and 0000 steel wool to get rid of my water marks. So im assuming I just pour the Autoglym on the glass and use the 0000 wool as a rubbing pad. Is this correct?



    thanks

    Have you tried full strength vinegar yet?

    I tried 50/50 water-vinegar mix. it really doesnt seem to have any effect on the water marks at all.

    Autoglym glass polish doesn`t really do it for me. I don`t see what`s so great about it let alone its awful smell. I`ve used it and I just don`t think you need a dedicated glass polish when there are many products that will do the same thing.



    I like to wash my windows with 0000 steel wool and a glass cleaner (I love Turtle Wax). I then follow up with AIO and a PC and then Rain X.



    For water marks, you can try this product if you feel like ordering it: http://www.topoftheline.com/glasspolish.html



    I have heard good things about it.

    That`s because the hard water deposits were allowed to remain long enough to etch the paint. What you`re seeing is not the hard water deposits, but rather the damage they caused.



    Depending on the extent of the damage, you may not be able to polish it out by hand... glass is very hard. You can get AG Glass Polish a try. I have used it to remove or lessens some pretty difficult water spot damage.

    FWIW I don`t rate AG glass cleaner. AIO works well for me, and I like to use 50/50 vinegar sometimes too.

    Strange - I`d rate AG Glass Polish (assuming we`re talking about the blue cream) as being amongst the best. Less is certainly more and it can dust like a bi*ch esp in direct sunlight/heat but it cleans glass very well indeed.



    Close second in my book is 1Z Windscreen Clear - perfect for a quic wipe over inside & out.

    Ye Andy, its the dusting that does my head in, although I would say its not that great at cleaning the glass either.



    The 1z product you mention is good, I have found its even better at removing dried in polish from trim you should try it, you need to apply it `neat` to a cloth and then the trim.
