Water spots, stains, scratched glass, etc.

Any idea how to get a wax overspray off a windshield safely, (amsoil metal protectant) did bottoms of truck and have a fine mist on the windshield...thanks !

 

Sorry for the 4 month lapse...LOL..

I'm sure you already figured it out but for others... I work in construction and have run across similar issues many times. Painters overspray or downright brush paint onto the glass. We use Sparkle for the fine mist and the methods for removing strait paint on glass break all the rules so Ill skip posting them. If anyone has this issue just PM me and Ill let you know.

 

Lol, that stain cleaner and protectant stuff worked good tho

 

I get a free bottle of sparkle every time I order more than $500 worth of materials online... just had Mr Brown drop me off a box this morning.

 

Nice man! Thanks again for your wise advice

 

Sub'd. Good info

 

If any of you guys are buying this stuff let us know where and how much please.

I buy direct and people are always asking me... sucks I can't tell them the best place to get it retail because I buy wholesale.

 

Amazon was the lowest pricing I found. Starting tomorrow Amazon begins collecting sales tax in MD. The new distribution center opens tomorrow. Located in southeast Baltimore and is supposed to employee 1000 persons.

 

We can't win them all.

My "facts about Amazon" thread where I trashed them secretly got deleted.... they are everywhere

 

Don't mess with Bezos.

I live in West Maui. We are always getting a fine red dust from the fallow cane fields. My last truck had two giant arcs where the wipers had used the dust as an abrasive. The side windows were water spotted.

I used a fine abrasive for headlights with an orbital sander and got all the scratches and water spots off very easily.

I bought my Taco a few months ago and just discovered TW. Lotsa good info. This is the first thread I've read through from start to finish. I'll be on Amazon (Hawaii loves Amazon because of their free shipping and no tax) in a few minutes to buy the cleaner and sealer.

Thanks for all the great information!

 

Another members very well written take on removing scratches with cerium oxide... http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/de...hes-glass-using-cerium-oxide.html#post8470517
I also added the link to the 2nd or 3rd post.

Glad to be of some help! Good luck!

 

Bump for basic info on glass care.

 

My water spots were removed and never came back after doing the said progress. Worked great then I put rainx over it so it's good.

Still have some scratches and pitting though.

 

I bought the sparkle on Amazon. It worked very well on my water spots. Does anyone know if this product contains any abrasives? I checked the CRL website and was unable to determine the answer to this question. I'm thinking it must contain abrasives. After the product flashes and I wipe it off, even if I go back over a stubborn water spot with a dry portion of the towel, it will continue to remove the stubborn spots. This leads me to believe there is an abrasive component. Not complaining. It works well. Just wondering if one rubbed too hard if there is a remote chance of marring the glass or micro scratches.
