Ok, I have a problem.

On the driver's side window of my car there are water spots that I cannot remove. I'm going to assume it was well water that set in for about over a week. Now, these spots were on the paint as well but the clay bar took care of that.

I have tried feverishly to get rid of the spots on the window with a clay bar, soap and water, gasoline, even Windex with NO luck. These spots are hard as HELL to get out

So does anyone know any possible abrasives or a product that will remove them? Or am I screwed

have you tried cleaning the inside of the window

 

HAHA Yes! I thought I would luck out on that but I haven't tried the clay bar on the inside of it. I'll try that today!

 

Mix a solution of white vinegar and water 50/50 and spray her on.

 

roller,
yeah i know the feeling, especially for a heavily tinted car the spots are well pronounced. i used a glass cleaning paste but it took me 2 day to buff the windshield and windows. the paste seems too abrasive since u can feel some parts of the glass came off on the residue. another bad thing is its a local product in the philippines.
anyways, try looking on the meguiar's hard water spot remover. though havent tried it but the name can speak for itself.
goodluck and hope u wont need much bicep HP

 

Use the water/vinegar mix. You won't be dissapointed and it takes just seconds to remove.

 

I also suggest using distilled water, instead of regular water, never tried mixing it with vinegar but I have to beleive distilled mixed with vinegar is better than regular water.

 

Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

--Update--

I tried using tap water+white vinegar. No luck at all! It's weird I swear it's like the spots are actually inside the window. When i used the 50/50 combo, NOTHING came off. It was just like how it was before. I used it on the inside and out.

I also used the clay bar on the inside of the windows with no luck.

Any other suggestions? Heading back to the dealer on Monday if this does not work.

i doubt the dealer will be of much assistance

maybe try some of these products that are specifically made for your problem:

heres a tutorial on cleaning water spots off your car's windows...it suggests using vinegar also...it says if the spots are left uncleaned for a couple weeks that they will etch the glass...if that is the case (which it seems that it is), it says that you need to use a glass polish to get them out

hope that helps!

 

Thanks evotagger!

There is hope!! Haha, I'll let you know the results.

 

Yep, I think i need a new window

NOTHING works on it. I didn't realize that it could get so bad.

 

glass polish @ autozone? use sparingly, try a test spot first.

Works like a champ

 

you can always try glaze if its not the windsheild.

 

That is funny as hell!!
