Water Spots

I had some water sprinklers where I live spray on my truck one night and now I have these terrible water spots on the windshield. I have tried regular glass cleaner, and even took it to a self-service car wash to try to get them off with the high pressure sprayer. I am not sure what else to do? Does anyone have any sort of miracle cleaner that they use that I should try?

Cutting Glaze. Works wonders on windshields to get crap off, and gives it a rain x like coat as well. You can get it higher end speed or paint shops.

I heard white vinegar and newspaper works as well.

Id be affrid to use steel wool in fear of it getting stuck on the paint, especially if you wash it off with water right afterwards.

Also, standard No. 7 Rubbing Compound works as well, but requires a little elbow grease.

Re: Water Spots

call me a phool, i have always waxed my windshield, seems to fill it in nice and sleak; works great for rain too. Dont let it sit on too long or its a real pita to rub off :)

Re: Water Spots

Well, unfortunately I tried the vinegar and newspaper....It didnt work.

I think I might try it with steel wool next...I'll let you know how it turns out.

It is about a 10,000 grit diamond polishing compound that will remove ANY surface spot from glass.

Even though the stuff does contain actual diamond powder, its not coarse enough to damage the glass since it would take forever to rub a distortion into your windshield with 10K grit.

That stuff sounds expensive...Where would I be able to find something like that. I had also thought about trying a bathroom cleaning agent like that CLR stuff. I thought maybe it was due to calcium or lime deposits in the water. :dunno:
