See spot...

I am getting really pis*ed here lately ! I have read some post about water spots on glass but i am running into the water spots from hell! They are on my mirrors my windshield and my windows. Wat makes it really bad is that my back windows are tinted pretty dark so when you get close to the car you can definitly see the spots. Does anyone know any way to try and get these water spots off my windows. I have tried cleaning them right after i wash them, i have tried a little bit of AJAX (which normally works) , windex, professional strength auto glass cleaner that they sell in wall mart, and i am just about tapped ! Anyone able to help me ??

You wanna know my mods. ? Might as well just ask me how my wife is in bed, its none of your d@mn buisness! Thats not exactly dinner coversation now is it?
Those 2 things have nothing to do in common, that is by far the most pointless sig on the forum. Congrats

As for the water spots, try drying the car in the shade or somthing rather than in the sunlight so water spots cannot form.

I always clean my windows with 0000 steel wool before I use any type of glass cleaner. Do that and it'll feel like you just waxed your glass. No more spots . . . trust me.

The reason newspaper works well is because it doesn't leave lint like towels or even paper towels... Newspaper + Windex = spot-free/lint-free windows.

Newspaper is the choice of most auto detail companies. I use newspaper as well. That and invisiglass. Also maybe a little off topic, but california clay bar on the paint. Its just amazing. I claybar and then do a 3 stage Meguires wax job.
