    *manilablock: I haven't tried this on my side mirror and I heard that some are tinted as mentioned. You can research online regarding your side mirror in particular but if you're willing to take a risk, try applying on a small portion and see if there is any adverse effect. Another option is to dillute this to 50% with water and gradually increasing to your liking. Alternatively, I just use a glass cleaner for my side mirror since mine doesn't have much water marks. Please share your results if you do try it out.

    *Chickselog: I think I've tried that before. If you smell the product, you can sense it's strength. Amonia has a very distinct strong odor..which is why amonia inhalant is used in movies to wake up people Good morning ammonia. - YouTube. I would think Elevo has amonia but in diluted form since it did not work well for me. This ARR may be stronger since it easily dissolves acid rain marks and build up sediments. When applied on the glass, you can see some smoke over the haze :P

    *Flip: Treating with rain repelant after the removal of acid rain prevents the skipping of wipers. Also run your fingers along the wiper blades and see if it's still smooth. You can always change your blades if this is the cause of the problem.
    Bawal na po mag-edit ng previous posts sir as far as I know. Maybe you can request the mods to edit it for you, or make a word file or a pdf file like what doc did on his "Tamang OC lang" detailing guide hehe. I agree on the strength of Elevo. I use it kapag sobrang kapal na talaga ng watermarks since it saves me time. Just don't forget to wash the glass thoroughly to get rid of the acid.

    Depende rin sa type ng wiper kung magsskip sya or hindi. Based on personal experience, yung OEM NWB wiper ko which the car came out with, didn't judder even once on a Glass Science Glass Scrub + Rain Clear combo. But when I switched to Mitutoyo Silicone banana wipers, nagjjudder kapag matagal na nagddrive sa ulan or matagal nang basa yung salamin. Now, I'm on Microtex Stainz Out + Stain Guard combo on the same set of Mitutoyo wipers, no judders at all.
