stained glass/windshield/moon roof

[jamg]

Well the car has been sitting for a while, and i THINK that the stains are hard water stains.

so far i have

tried using invisible glass
vinegar
rain-x
window cleaner
using a polisher to polish it out
clay bar
ammonia

but the freaking stains won't come off.....ever time i have attempted to clean it, it would always leave those millions upon millions of spots that won't freaking come offff!!! argggg

what do i do, to get rid of them?

[awesomenick]

Acetone?

It worked for me.

[jamg]

Acetone?

It worked for me.

i will try that out..

[s14xman]

you should try 3m cutting compound and a buffer. worked for me.

At first i thought this thread was going to be about stained glass windows on a 240, like at a church. haha

[thisisastickup]

wire brush.

[blueshark123]

steel wool

[Gorilla Unit 33]

steel wool
x2 ........

[ZilviaKid]

a stained glass sunroof would look gangster.

[bigOdom1]

steel wool pad. only on the glass though

[jamg]

i've already tried steel wool...

does not work.

[240trainee]

It'll work

Use steel wool and a buffing compound, and basiclly compound the windshield.

Polish off the wax with a clean cloth.

Done and done.

[driven_]

set the glass on fire and watch it. Lol.

steel wool should work. :T

[Slip&Sliden 240]

razor blade. Use some windex or something to keep glass wet and scrape at a 45* with the blade. Once it is all off, wax it. So much nicer then rain X or any other product like that.

[Driftastic]

How bout CLR or lime away? That is what they are made for...

[SlideKing92]

Im spitballing here but could the stains be on the inside of the glass for some reason probably not but it could be like when you lose your glasses and they are on your head lol

[tt99ol]

steel wool will work
it takes WORK though
rub it real hard and real long
lol

[ms!3]

I used 800 then worked my way up to 2500. Finished it off with some rubbing compound and a hand held buffer. Glass looks brand new.

[aoiken3]

or if you have no more strive to put more effort in it, get new windshield and moonroof and watever else you're missing

[Jaketenpointo]

Used this stuff called "Ain't Nothin Better" I got it from Napa. It works super quick and easy.

[lazysk8er2]

what grade steel wool do you guys use? and what do you use it with just water or some sort of chemical? and when you say compound as in clearcoat polishing compound?

[driftsilvias13]

Steel wool works great with some automotive grade window cleaner. Gotta try the rubbing compound next time!

[jamg]

i'll have to try the razor blade.

i mean, the car has been sitting for over a year.

my 3 brake light melted lol. it got too hot.

but i used the fine grade steel wool....and i scrubbed it really really hard. but i'm still seeing millions of spots. and i use vinegar, invisible glass, ammonia as the lubricant, but it's still there.

and it has to be on the outside of the glass. there's no way it could be built up on the inside.

im thinking i need something SUPER ACIDIC to get this shit out.

[jamg]

i'm going to try and use my mini propane tank and try and burn the shit up.

nah jk..i figure something would have worked by now.

my friend had something similar on his window..and my bro took it off with a mother ball and some polish..worked with headlights too..

worst comes to worst take it to a detail guy, they are pro at shit like that..they get down

[axiomatik]

Are you sure the glass isn't just pitted? It's happened to both my S13 and Cherokee.
