    What would do to this window?

    Hello All!

    I have a customer who leaves this car parked in the drive way and it gets saturated with sprinklers every night!!! :-(

    I gave her a sound talking too (stomped my feet and waved my finger!)

    So how can I get this thing back? I used a 3M rubbing compund for the body, would you use it on the window? followed by a polish? Orbital or rotary on a window? I have a makita, so I would use the low range, which on a Makita is 0 - 600, great machine!

    As always, TIA!

    Love living in this City!!

    I buy a chemical water spot remover from a guy locally. It is specifically designed for automotive glass and works great. This is the only thing I have found online that is similiar and I use it for despoting large glass panes on commercial / residential buildings. When I use Crystal Clear 550 on vehicles, I dilute it 50/50 with water.

    I went to a janitorial supply place and brought a glass water spot remover. Its great on the windows. If you do go to a store like that make sure that its window tint safe

    Why would you need it to be tint safe if the spots are on the outside? My understanding of tint is that it`s inside, so that`s where you need to use tint safe products. ???

    Try the old vinegar and water trick. If that doesn`t work, I`d suggest a product called Ducky`s Water Spot Remover.

    It can. It may require more than one application. There are two different types of corrosion Stage 1 and Stage 2. Check out this link...
