theres some pretty much unremovable acid rain on my windows, and i want to tint them (50% on the front ones, not sure on back yet). my question is, will the tint cover it up, or make it show even more?

thanks

 

well the acid stains are on the outside.. the tint is on the inside... i would say yes.. they would stand out more....


but i do not know that for a fact..

 

what exactly does an "acid-rain stain" look like?

 

You can probably clean the stains off.

 

theres companys out there that makes stuff to get the acid rain stains off the windows but i cant think of it right now. do some reseach im sure ya can find something bout it.

 

what about using some fine steel wool to try to get it off? like 0%

 

trust me, i've tried everything you can think of. i've even asked a friend who is a professional, his final advice was to use a razor, that helped a little, but its still very noticable.

I might know what acid rain stains look like. My mom has a Chrysler minivan with the tinted windows from the factory and there are water spots on the windows that won't come off. I have tried EVERYTHING. Is this acid rain stains?

 

Yes that's exactly what they are. They are very common on paint too but I guess a lot easier to remove from paint then glass.

 

any other ideas?

 

if you have a friend that is a professional see if he can get malco waterspot remover. its supposed to remove mineral deposits and stains from glass. i work detailing cars, i never tried this stuff but i knew i saw something for that.

 

I've heard that Lime Away takes water spots off glass. Your local supermarket should have it by the cleaning supplies.

 

Lime Away or CLR works well, but make sure not to get it on your paint.

Go talk to a detail shop. My fiend's dad is a detailer and he puts this chemical on windows that eats waterspots right off. It's pretty cool. Can't remember the name, but it's common.

 

it would be great if you can remember that name
