What is the best and easiest way to remove water spots from glass?

Stan

 

I use spray wax. It's easy to apply and easy to take off.

 

Thank you for your reply!

What type of spray wax? What brand? Do you mean the wax typically used on the paint of the car?

 

I use Meguiars Ultimate Quik wax. You're right, it's typically used on the paint but I use it on everything.

 

If the water spots are dried on chances are you might not be able to remove them. Wax is a good way to prevent the spots from etching into your paint or glass but once they are there you have to use a scrubbing agent like 0000 steel wool, Ive never tried it but Ive heard it works so do your research before you go out and try it and after you do apply the correct wax to the windows.

 

I use a good window cleaner and a squeegie with scrubbing sponge on the end

 

Don't do this.

I have millions of tiny dots on my windshield now and cannot see when facing the sunset.

I don't know what happened but im quessing the "fine" scratches that are caused by the steel wool began to crack into really really small, and many chips.

I need a new windshield.

 

Thanks for the advice shady!

I tried the rubbing compound from Turtle Wax but its super hard work still.

I tried a single edge razor and windex, that was easier to "cut" the hard water spots down, but the water spots are still there!

I have a lot of work in the near future!

 

Try to use a clay bar, if that doesn't work, there's glass polish you could purchase that works very well. I used this http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/...C+16+ounces.do, If all this fails, then you might need to purchase a new windshield. Check your insurance, it might cover the replacement.

 

Stoners invisible glass + newspaper wads. I swear by it.

 

I have been using Rubbing Compound made by Turtle Wax. I use it with a high speed buffing wheel on my pneumatic die grinder.

This takes a lot of time tho, not an easy task, but it works.

 

like he said above use a polish compound with a whool pad and a electric buffer and your water spots will be gone. takes some time but it will remove them and help keep them from coming back

 

Steel wool (without soap a.k.a. NOT S.O.S. Pads) any auto glass cleaner and micro fiber towel. Spray glass cleaner on the window and lightly rub with steel wool. This will not scratch the glass. Tip is from a detailer who works at my local Nissan dealer. He showed me, I tried it, it works.

 

Wash the window first, then use the steel wool tip after to remove any spots.

 

oh yes it will scratch.

and chip a million little chips on it too.

 

I used 0000 wool and a creme glass polish. About the only thing that worked for me. I tried auto polishes, Ajax, windex, sponge scrubbers, rubbing compound etc.. Nothing worked until I got the 000 wool out.

 

The water spots is the heaviest I have ever seen. You can actually feel the bumps on the window. That's how thick the water spots are.

windex and 0000 steel whool... spray and just rub the whool lightly and it removes all hard waterspots

 

Invisible Glass spray cleaner with 0000 steel wool. Repeat with newsprint.
