we had a really bad rainstorm a couple days ago, and i went out today and washed the car, and i noticed windows on the all the doors have water spots, but the rear window and windshield are fine, i tried several things but no change , do you guys have any input on this
thanks in advanced

 

are you sure they are on the outside? It could have been that your windows weren't all the way up.

 

nope its on the outside, its like a residue that wont come off

 

Try 50/50 mixture of vinegar and water. That should remove them no problem

 

thanks ill give it a try

 

I second the vinegar tip. Miraculous on glass, paint, chrome, and it dries streak free if you use newspaper!

 

try some plain old glass cleaner, first. if that doesn't work, 50/50 vinegar/water should do it. if it's not your windshield, a clay-bar might help, too

 

thanks for the info
i tried what sparkplug said (claybar) and it came right off

 

tried the vinegar and h20 and didnt come off. will try the claybar. is that the best way to get it off?

 

000 grade steel wool will make your glass look brand new in seconds.

 

really.... were can i get this so called stuff

 

Anywhere you can buy steel wool...

Lowes/Home depot, hardware store, Walmart etc etc

 

So, pick up some steel wool and go to town? Or is there anything specific you have to do? Like circular motions or back and forth?

 

i've had the same problem. DO NOT GET STEEL WOOL!!!!

Go to homedepot, pick up some "Spot X". It will come right off! It's about 3 bucks at homedepot. I tried numerous solutions but only Spot X works. Best 3 dollar investment in my book. Took off year old acid rain residue like nothing.

 

I had water spots from parking too close to sprinklers, washer fluid + wipers didnt work. So I just washed it by hand, all gone.

 

50/50 vinegar is a life saver, try some glass cleaner

 

put some laquer thinner on a cotton ball, that stuff worked for me..

 

invisible glass worked for me

 

Yup, likewise. Stoners Invisible Glass hasn't failed to remove anything for me. Not to mention, my windows truly do look invisible at more than one angle. I love that stuff.
