window water damage.

h0m0ph0b1c · 08-17-2008, 11:19 PM

so i have my car parked on the side of my driveway in my own little pull in spot. as shown below. so anyways. the sprinkles run on the bank every morning and i never really cared about the water spots on my window, but over the past few weeks i have noticed i cannot get these spots to come off of my windows, no matter how hard i scrub or what i use to scrub it with.

here is an older pic of my car, just showing the situation.

do you guys have any ideas of what could work to get it off? any help is appreciated.

Armor Alls glass cleaner will almost take anything off, it works well for me.

perhaps try clay bar?

i've used a clay bar to remove water spots but try some glass cleaner (not windex).

its most likely calcium from the water. it happened to before but i got it off the next morning. CLR is a calcium remover but i dont know what it would do to the tint or the window.

vinegar

it'll smell bad but it's cheap and natural

clr would prob work well..but i would use it sparingly and def. not spray or pour it on the window so it doesnt run on the paint or anything. but claybar is also a safe alternative.
