or glass?
Iād like to know all of the above, but especially the Glass! I have these water spots that I cant get off no matter whut I do. Its like theyāre baked on or sumthin. I want to tint my windows but I dont want that s#*t to show thruā¦Any ideas?
I know there is some sort of polishing compound that is made to take water spots off your windowsā¦ canāt remember what its called though. I borrowed it from a friends work (he works at a car dealership) Try going to you local auto parts store and ask them if they know of anything out thereā¦ I know there is just cant remember what its calledā¦ :bored:

try buffing your car? :idea:
I used the polisishing and rubbing compound that was used for the renewing 1 pieces technique. That worked great for removing waterspots and scratches. The polishing compound works great on glass. I had some really bad stains on my sidemirrors, but now they are bling bling. Either use a buffer or a terry cloth.
I heard a mixture of water and a weak undiluted acid (i.e. vinegar) works well too, I havenāt tried it yet, but am going to.

I love it when people recommend things they havenāt tried yet. Let him try that solution, and you use the rubbing compound.

you can buy this stuff called āAmazeā from a glass shop. it comes in a small yellow plastic tub. rub it onto windows to get rid of water spots. it works great, but takes some muscle to rub it in.
My car sat outside for a 3-4 weeks while i did my swap and now i have horrible water spots on my roof (paint on roof wasnāt in all that good condition before anyway). man i wish i could afford a paint job.
I rubbed the water spots on my paint with the red turtle wax compound, then with Mothers carnuba wax. worked pretty good:up:
This is off topic but, hey caliquick_teg? U live 30 Mi. North of Rosa??? I live jus south like 15 min. Maybe we could hook up sum time. Peaceā¦
Donāt do the vinegar thing. It stinks to high heaven for WEEKS.
:lol: 
Thats why I didnt try itā¦
I was talking about for glass only. . . there is other home mixtures you can use. if you search you will find a very informative post with all this info in it.

cerium oxide???
use lots of water and a low speedā¦ it take slots of time but is well worth itā¦ they also use this to polish aircraft windscreens.

Find a shop that will sell you some Farecula (world class rubbing compound thatās completely water-soluable).
My suggestion is to buy both the G10 and the G3. Start with the G3 and then finish with the G10. I also agree with the Motherās aluminum polish suggestions (look onthe back of the label ā it states clearly that it can be used to polish glass).
You will be amazed if you take your time. Farecula also does a good job removing mineral deposits (aka āwater spotsā) from glass. IMO, there isnāt a better way to remove problems from your paint or clearcoat than Farecula. Although thereās a new kid in town called, āPrestaā thatās also world-class stuff. The crappy thing is that I used to get all this stuff for nuttinā or near that but my connection quit his job and doesnāt manage the shop anymore. 
If you are ever in Toronto, let me know and Iāll give you some.
