Stains on Windows
 
does anyone know of anything that removes the hard water stains (i think) from the windshield and rear window? i already tried windex and rain-x glass cleaner. the rear window is the worst, it just permantley looks dirty, especially at night.

If it's really a hard water stain, vinegar works great. That's what keeps your cutlery at the restaurant shiny :) but windex should do just fine. Any glass cleaner really.

Clay, also polish. Griots sells clay and pads specifically for glass if you want to check them out.

Next time you wash, make sure to use some sealant on the rear glass or apply rainx.

Use window cleaner and newspaper to wipe clean. I know it sounds weird, but that's what dealerships do on their windows. Will not smear or leave behind ink

^^ that's not a terrible idea as newspaper is a mild abrasive. but makes your hand black and kinda messy and ghetto.


not sure why windex doesnt just release a clear formula (not that vinegar stinky shitt they released). i use Griot's WindowCleaner as well. :)

I used Griot's windowcleaner when love stains were accidentally produced on a glass window of an expensive hotel. worked great :tup:

I do not know what it is about the 370z glass, but it is extremely difficult to get completely clean and it seems unusually prone to spotting.

The Griot's Glass Polish works great on water stains. My wife's MDX had some really bad stains from being doused by the sprinkler system at her office before they finally adjusted the nozzles.

I used my 3" buffer and the special pads with the polish, and the stains were gone.

And no, I'm not a paid spokeman for Griot's either, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!

I wonder if a touch of lemon juice on newspaper will work?

When nothing else works, this will. I had an issue with my Z32TT when I first got it and nothing else I tried would take the cloudy stains off. I keep a can in my garage. Thanks to TwinTurbo.net for the find...
Barkeepers Friend Read "non-abrasive".

I've read Bon Ami will do the same thing and you can pick it up at a grocery store.
