I would look at the new Duragloss #755. If the spots are fresher pretty much anything will remove them, if they've been baked on for months or years like areas where the wipers miss, only #0000 seel wool and AIO worked for me. But this new DG product seems great, ask Sparkie he just did a review on it. If PB's SSR's didn't remove them, XMT 360 sure as heck aint budging any of them.

Ahh, very cool, Surfer, as I have a few to get off the new Relay for hubby.
The ones here I am concerned with have been baked on for years. Got the whole thing shining, except for those windows.......
Gracias, senor!:righton:
 
I dont know the number if its 755 or not but the duragloss "NU Glass" on an orange pad has licked every window I have thrown at it. Followed up by Some AIO or 101 and the glass is good for weeks. BTW I use the 4" orange pads on 3. I wish you would have posted this before I sent the 4* samples.
 
Clay them!

I always clay my windows, then toss on a coat of either NXT or ColorX. Gives the RainX effect but just lasts longer, and much easier!

No water spots on my windows :)
 
I have used Pinnacle Swirl Remover to get water spots off glass with good success when nothing else seemed to work. Diamondite has a product that Meghan assured me would take water spots off glass but I have not tried it. I did try a Diamondite product for plastic and it worked very well at taking out some scratches.

Clay won't remove baked on spots, the minerals are etched it...main reason steel wool works is b/c it catches the minerals and pulls them away, you can feel it while rubbing...gets smooth and smoother.

hey surfer,
you guys get the steel wool @ home depot, right? they classify them there as well, so I will know the #0000 when I see it?

Thank you, all!!!

It will say #0000 on the package....just don't use it on sideview mirrors. You still have to be careful, I would clay and clean before hand to remove any dirt and what I did was put some dabs of AIO on the wool and start rubbing moderatley, but you'll want to switch it up and keep cleaning as their is a risk you could cause marring from a combo of the wool and dirt embedded in the wool. I don't, hard to explain, wish I could show you on video or something. Rub lightly to moderate and see what happens, if you don't feel comfortable I'd order some Duragloss #755 to be safe.
 
Duragloss #755 (Nu-glass) is a good product. It takes a little elbow grease if doing it by hand but you have a pc so that will make it a little easier. It works great. I used it about a year ago to get water spots off of my back glass. That reminds me I am about out of it.

Lets see my truck is 4 years old so they gradually built up until then. That was before I learned proper wash and drying technique. I also used it on my dads truck which is a year model '93 and it took them off. Then again let me reiterate that it takes alot of elbow grease if doing it by hand. Maybe a pc with a 4"orange (LC) pad will work easier. Oh yeah it does dust some also.
