Is it just me or does the windows tend to get waterspots that cant be removed? ive tried many different window cleaners on it but the waterspots are still there. I was wondering if there was a product out that could get rid of those spots. :rolleyes:

#0000 steel wool. No kidding, polishes 'em right up and takes away anything that has built up on 'em.

On Moh's Hardness Scale Glass is a 6, soft metals like steel wool are a 4 to 5.

Heinz White Vinegar. I know what is even better, I just remembered. After I take stickers off my windows, I use Goo Gone to get thr remnants off. That makes them look new. Just use winow cleaner when you are done. Works like a champ.

Worked in a detail shop for a few years....Steel wool and vinegar are both good options. Also, for really stubborn stuffs, like overspray, or sticker residue, razor blades work good too, just be careful around paint and window seals.

Also, only use razor's and steel wool on the outside of the windows. If you use them on the inside, and have any kind of aftermarket tinting on the windows, you will get scratches there. Don't know if it will scratch factory tint or not.

Try one of those clay bars, I hear they remove things off the paint really well and im sure they could get those water spots off the black paint.
