water mark help!

[supr2nr]

Okay I have a question and I am not finding a lot of help on this from the search function. Since I have bought my truck I have had water marks etched into the windows . I have tried almost everything that I seen on the shelves at local auto parts stores to try and get rid of the water marks but nothing has worked. Does anyone know of a way to get these out? Is there anything on the market that I can buy that will get rid of them? Someone out there must know of a way to get rid of these things.

Please help me!

ive heard that clay bars will work
ive never had this problem so im not sure

but you can buy them at a auto parts store
it is a bar of clay that usually comes with a special kind of soap
they are meant to be used for paint, but ive heard they work on windows too
they are like 15 bucks, maybe a little less

if that doesnt work call a local bodyshop
i know there is a chemical that supposedly takes it off
but im not sure what its called

hope this helps

I have the same prob. turns out the water marks are actually between the layers of glass. Looks like water marks on exterior but is actually the resin/glue inside the window. Best cure is a big rock and a $50 deductable

LOL!!! I'm beginning to think thats what my resolution will be too!

its on the ouside, not between. You cant feel the spots when they are on the ouside. In my two years working at a detail shop I tried claybar on waterspotted windows many times and it never worked, We had a chemical company that made stuff just for us and we had a spot removeing chemical that worked great. I can still get it but its about 50 bucks a gallon and a gallon is the smallest size available.

get some brasso brass polish and buff the window

There is a cleaner that they make for smooth stopetops (with the glass burners). It takes a lot of elbow grease, but works excellent. Go to any appliance retailer and they should have it or be able to get it for you.

back in the day we used to use glass cleaner and 0000 steel wool.

maybe try rubbing compound and buff that bish

There was another thread on this a while back and after reading it I tried everything ppl posted in the thread and nothing worked. The claybar didnt work, CLR and some other limeaway stuff didnt work either then I tried rubbing compounds and got no where with that crap either. Finally I went to a place here in my town that does glass work and bought this stuff called "A-maz". The guy who sold it to me said if this wont take the spots off then they wont come off. I used it on my windshield and its amazing. You can feel how smooth the glass is again and I dont see any of the hard water spots that were there. On the side windows I had to apply it a couple of times but it worked on those windows too. The stuff is called A-maz and it says on the can that its manufactured for Sommer & Maca, Cicero, IL ph:800-323-9200.......and I think it cost like 8 bucks.
But by some claybar too......makes your paint feel better than silk.

Go to a glass shop and get some cerium oxide. CR Lawerence makes it. (probaly others also) It's a pinkish powder. Take a sponge or wax applicator and get it wet then wring it out as best you can and dip it in the C/O. Use circular motion until all the spots are gone. DO NOT USE A BUFFER!! Rinse well. If the water does not sheet off re-apply. It may take several tries but it does work. it will remove light to medium scratches as well. I use it about twice a year to get all the crap off that accumulates. Between applications you can use Bon-Ami to polish your glass. I used to do service work on the side for a major window mfgr and the C/O cured a lot of defects. Hope this helps....
