i have a little problem i have so many water spot on the windsheild and i can not figure out how to get them out . ive tried aal the window cleaners nothing works.

 

someone reccomended a diluted vinegar bath (also safe for paint, but make sure you wash and wax after)

 

had the same thing on a camry...this stuff works GREAT! http://midwayautosupply.com/detailed...tion.asp?12248

 

umm this osund risky, but my detailer says it works, a brillo pad and dish soap, make sure its very slick, and dont use alot of preasure, he says that what he uses, anything else (chemical) may damage the finnish

 

thax for the help guys ima try the vinigar first then go on from there

 

I had the same problem a few months ago. I took it to the dealer and they fixed it --- by waxing the window (mine was the sunroof). Hope it helps.

was it covered under warranty

 

i recently used the clay bar on my windshield. oh yummy yummy! Crystal clear and I swear the rain seems to shoot right off, like it's got Rain-X on it or something!

Clay bar - definitely my most fave car accessory.

 

I might have to try that...

When I was a detailer I used somehting called Glass Polish...

 

tell this much: Glass chemistry is ancient. Alkali attacks some constituents of glass, making it "sick glass" (milky) You've seen this in window glass subject to rain splash-back from nearby concrete pavement. The lime ruins the glass surface over time, etching it to a fog.

The only cure is mechanical polishing.

Now, on the other hand: acidic substances protect glass... or rather, do not etch it


If a car is used in an area where alkali dusts are in the roadways, by all means: a vinegar glass cleaner is a good thing to use. Kill that alkali that may be lurking in the micro pores of your glass.

It is safe to polish windshield glass about as much as you like with glass resto. kits because the WS is not temerped glass, but plain. Minor fogging and minor haze are easily removed by pressure and wet lapping with the rotary buff and special polishing compound. Deep scraches will be improved, but not removed. They only smear.

Rhetorical question again: what is tempered glass and how and why is it stronger against blunt impact force than plain glass?

 

Didn't know tempered glass was stronger than plain or float glass. But I'll take an educated guess at the answer. The process of tempering re-arranges the structure of the glass so that it breaks into pebble size pieces vs sharp slivers etc. I'd venture to guess that the bonds between the pebble size pieces of tempered glass is stronger than ordinary glass. Heating crystaline materials can do some strange things to their structure. If interested look up 'metamic' minerals or crystals.

And you asked a rhtorical question??

i get these spots too......usuaually applying windes and using microfiber with lots of pressure helps...but im waiting to get my clay bar
