How to Remove waterspots from your glass

[dixie_boysles]

Alright fellas, the fiddy had some HORRENDOUS waterspots etched on the glass all the way around the truck. With a little elbow grease and power tools, i haz no more. nothing but shiny spot free glass.

Tools:

Compound (I used fine cut)
0000 FINE steel wool
Clean microfiber towel
blue painters tape
DeWalt buffer
Wool cutting pad

put a tape line down the middle of your window to establish a 50/50 line to help see if the product/technique is working for you.

Now put some compound on your steel wool and go to town on the glass. use your palm to put flat even pressure on the wool. Then use finger tips to get into corners of the window

Once that is done, use microfiber to wipe off compound and check progtess/results.

Put compound on wool pad and go to town on the glass. I used 2400-3000 rpm on the buffer intermittently. wipe product off to see that you are actually removing spots. once glass is done buff to a shine with the microfiber.

Below are the pics:

Cool it down (running water and in the shade!!), apply some ammonia until thoroughly soaked and it will wipe right off with a newspaper. I've never had to put any sort of elbow grease into this method.

I have also used vinegar and that seems to work pretty good.

[dixie_boysles]

None of those would touch these water spots. They were pretty much etched on from it sitting outside and not being drove much and never wiped off by orevious owner

Next three steps to be done with a dual action buffer
Compound
Polish
Wax
And if u wanna go all out. Sealer.
You do that. And your paint will look ten feet deep
Each step calls for a different buffing pad or cutting wheel. Compound has a special pad. Polish and wax also have there own. To bring it to perfect. You have to go back to where it started. That is the way to do it.

5Star tuned.....
