Wow, they are some serious water marks.

Maybe worth looking at something like the Optimum Water Spot Remover http://www.motorgeek.co.uk/cgi-bin/ecom.cgi?Command=ShowProduct&db_pid=1117

 

CarPro spotless?

 

Clay Bar

 

that or clay cloth works for me

 

Vinegar or citric acid.

 

Have you considered something like Ceri Glass Pro and a glass pad on a DA? Works great on my shower glass

 

To be honest, I've used vinager and it worked well! It doesn't stain the glass. but if you can buy something that's good then do it! I used it because I had nothing else.

 

Some one posted on another forum i use about using 0000 grade wire wool. Not used it myself but the pics he posted before and after looked like it worked.

 

Yeah anything acidic will work. Just be careful not to get it on the paint. Even lime scale remover would work. Spray on a cloth first then apply to window rather than spraying it

 

Auto Finesse Vision is very good as is Carpro Ceriglass.

 

You need an acidic product, any recommendations to the contrary are wrong. Don't panic too much about the paint, this is another example of DW misinformation. There are any number of products, routinely used by those on DW, which are much more hazardous to your paint than a bit of vinegar or citric acid.

Polishing - yeah, you could use an abrasive like ceriglass, but it is aggressive and unnecessary when you can get the job done with a mild chemical cleaner.

 

Bar keepers friend? I have found it to be pretty amazing stuff tbh

 

 

i would of thought af vision as blueberry said. use it on a microfibre pad and keep rubbing

 

0000 wire wool works brilliant but use with caution if a first timer e.g if the rubber seals are not over lapping you don't want to hit the painted panel!! I use a liquid window cleaner and wirewool or during the washing process. I remember a friend of mine phoning after he had used wirewool and autosmart r6 I think he cried a bit that day!!!!

 

Some bar keepers friend will work a treat. IPA will also help.

 

Bar keepers for me too. Amazing and gentle stuff had to buy my own bottle in the end as wife got fed up with me borrowing it. Cheap too!

 

Try Chemical Guys Water Spot Remover.

 

As mentioned already, carpro spotless or just good old vinegar.

 

Have you tried one of these.

Just remember to keep the blade relatively low to the window so you don't scratch

 

Have a look at this video from Ammo nyc

 

Thanks for the awesome replies mates. Since most have mentioned, I 'm trying to use the vinegar first. The thing is will it eat the glass?

 

Wouldn't have thought so - it's the main ingredient in cheapo window cleaners, so should be fine. If you're worried, just try it on a small area first, see what happens :thumb:

It should react with the scale from the watermarks anyway, so that will neutralise it (or you use a lot of vinegar, reduce the overall acidity).

 

Vinegar will be perfectly safe!

Bar Keepers Friend is an excellent for cleaning glass as well. Also, like vinegar, it is an acidic product.

 

As before, don't worry about acids. If you read Mike Philips, you are more likely do damage paint with ipa than with barkeepers.

Incidentally, barkeepers is very similar in chemistry to AS fallout remover - so quite safe.

 

I think I'm going to try some bar keepers friend on my glass which option is best powder form or cream,cheers

 

Powder is more concentrated and has more bite, i think.

Don't try to put the powder onto the glass as it will go everywhere, but try this method, which works well for me :

Lift the windscreen wipers and have a hosepipe ready.

Get a cheap yellow car sponge - get it nice and damp - then sprinkle a little of the powder onto the sponge and let it get damp for a few seconds.

Then you can move it over the car onto the windscreen area and carefully turn it over and work the powder around the glass. Just go slow and carefully work the whole windscreen with a little pressure.

When you are done, turn the sponge back over and lift it away from the car.

Then use a gentle hosepipe mist or stream to wash the BKF down the windscreen and into the rain channels and away. Use plenty of water to rinse out the rain channels afterwards to make sure it is all flushed off the car.

Worth the effort as it is absolutely epic at getting stubborn stains off glass.

 

Cheers for that I'll give it a try :thumb:
