Does anyone know how to get hard water spot of the windows...these are your average spots either...I tried all kinds of glass cleaners and even going over the glass with blade and no luck! There not noticable except at certain angles, they're not on the inside either... can anyone help...thanks

 

theres a mothers product that takes it out.. just forgetting the name ><. You can try oxidation remover? Meguirs paint cleaner maybe?

 

Try distilled vinegar. It will help remove mineral deposits which is what those are. You can also try a clay bar.

Good luck

 

+1. White vinegar.

 

DAMN the vinegar worked great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All spots gone! I kinda had to work it in a little and it stinks but it worked,.....crazy....thanks everybody apreciate it

 

I dont know what you guys did, but Vinegar did not work for me. Is there a certain way to apply it. I just soaked a rag with a bit, and started rubbing one out... nothing. Stupid water marks drive me crazy, especially bc they are on my mirrors!!!!!!

 

Try wetting a cotton cloth or a paper towel then lay it flat on the surface of the glass. Leaving it there for a few minutes will keep the window/mirror wet with the vinegar so it has time to work.

Really badly etched windows/mirrors can be polished. I don't remember the name of the stuff but I got something from a glass shop several years ago that worked great. It was basically polishing compound for glass.

have you tried Spot X http://www.gokart.net/shop-utopia/spotx/

my friend left his Z for a week in houston and when he came back he had hard water spots from hell. Nothng worked,...wax, vinegar, all glass cleaners, CLR!! Nothing...He was about to use some crazy chemical compound rub, but decided to buy this stuff first. Man that stuff is bada$$, worked great....

 

I am having the same problem, I guess i will try vinegar.

 

If you have a heavy buildup of spots on your windows, it may take more than one wipedown with vinegar to remove it. Soak a cloth in vinegar and spread the cloth out on the window and leave it sit for a while. That will keep it coated in vinegar so it has more time to work.

 

Try ZAINO clear-view glass polish. Please excuse the bold type, but this stuff is great. I had a stubborn buid-up of water marks on our driveway car. I tried 3 recommended products from auto stores--none of which worked. I also tried vinegar which had little or no effect (glad it worked for others). Then someone on the forums recommended Zaino. I ordered it from their website and it was like a miracle. Wonderful product. It will leave a lot of dust, so be prepared and try to keep it away from the moldings. Good luck.

 

Screw all that. Go get some Liquid Glass, it's about $17 a bottle. It will not only EASILY take off the spots but will bind with the glass and will make the water bead off your glass like crazy.

Oh, and it's the best polymer wax I've found. No complicated instructions like Zaino, just rub it on, wait for it to dry, and then wipe it off. You can put it on glass, plastic, metal, paint, dirt, crack ******, old tennis shoes, plastic garbage bags, 7-week old placentas, whatever...

 

Complicated instructions? Zaino glass polish is also rub on, let dry, wipe off, but it is good to know of alternatives. Sounds like Liquid Glass may be more versatile though. I may give it a try once the Zaino runs out, but I'm quite happy.

 

+1 on the Zaino window polish...good stuff as is the rest of their products.

 

ucan try #00000 steel wool ...

 

i hope you're not serious...

 

I read awhile ago about distilled water being able to prevent water spots. Is this true?

 

Yes, distilled water will prevent you from getting them. The problem is that most people get them from rain, sprinklers, etc.

 

Sorry I got it confused the the other one where you have 92 bottles of different stuff and you have to take 7 weeks to clean your car.
