Water Stains on the Window

[DRFT]

is there a way to remove water stains from my rear quater panels? it's driving me nuts because i can't even take it off...I hoep this isn't permanent:( Well i tried to use meguires car wash and Quick and brite but it didn't do anything. Does anyone else have this problem w/ their fastback rear quater windows?

I got the water spots too. I'm gonna try buffing them out soon so I'll let you know how it goes.

Cool thanks man, anyone else have any input on how to remove these stains?

I've got persistant water spots too. A lot of buffing will reduce them, I don't know of a way to get rid of them entirely.

Bar Keeper's Friend. Should be able to find it at home depot or maybe supermarket.. It's basically a fine scouring powder. Works WONDERS.

And does anyone know whats the best way to remove the glue from tint off my rear hatch? i did a search but didn't find a good way to remove he glue. I removed the tint but the glue remained...

Water spots are caused by hard water. It's the calcium, iron, and lime that is found in that water that's left behind and forms spots. The best way to get them off glass is to use distilled white vinegar. If you're spots are really strong you might need to use pure vinegar. If the spots are mild, you might want to try dilluting the vinegar with water. You want it to be as mild as necesary to take off the spots. Either way, vinegar take it off.

Best wishes,

you can also use a clay bar, as it works wonders on removing water stains, overspray, etc from windows and body panels. you can get meguiars california clay bar which includes showtime quick detailer and a 2oz bar of clay from walmart for about $13

You can apply a coat of raindance wax to the glass for prevention. To clean the current, there is an aeresol based (noCFCs) window cleaner that professional installers use from your local autozone and a microfiber cloth towel, you spray and let it sit for about 30 seconds, then buff the crap out of the stains.
