    Actually you can use 0000 steel wool as a last result effort. You will need to get any of the steel fibers off the truck to prevent rust spots.

    this is a valid 1st choice solution.

    If above does not work try a clay bar second. If that
    Does not work I usually end up polishing the windsheild with a polish and an orange pad with the buffer set on high.

    Before trying steel wool I would try it on a water spot in an out of view location, say under the wiper blade.

    Polishing has always worked for me. I polish the windsheild once a year to remove imbedded dirt.

    LIke I said....
    I replace my shower head about once a year because it gets clogged up, if I leave a glass of water out I have a permanent white line in that glass
    I did
    Clay bar didn't work either :(
    The back windows are the worst (maybe just more noticeable there because of the tint)

    Never EVER use steel wool on glass or ANYTHING you care about that has a finish reliant on keeping out pollution.

    :thumbsup: Good. I don't care how "soft" the steel is....it's still steel on glass.

    Rub some 00 steel wool on virgin steel and see what happens. I use 00 steel to prep wood and aluminum for paint and it scratches like a mofo (why I use it) + it gets EVERYWHERE.


    I don't need to be "here" for you to ask me :cool:
