Water spot sa wind shield and windows.Kuha sa Rubbing Compound

[BongersVX200]

I tried using 3M brand Rubbing compound to erase those watermarks sa windshiled and other windows ng AUV ko. What i did was, using a pranela (wet), i put a small amount of 3M rubbing compound, then apply it to the glass (circular motion) , at saka punas agad ng dry pranela.. To my surprise, maganada ang kinalabasan.. almost nawala na yung waterspot na di makuha ng mga glass cleaner.. siguro konting tiyaga lang sa pag punas nito ay 95% tanggal ang spots.. Yun nga lang medyo nakakapagod.. pinawisan ako ng husto,,pero okey lang sulit na sulit naman.. Parang Pina detail mo na rin.. Thansk sa Tsikot .com, dito ko nalaman na okey palang gamitin ito..

CAREFUL in using rubbing compounds...

btw, keep away from pranelas as much as possible. they can do more harm to your paint's finish.

moving this thread to MORE THAN LOOKS.

Thanks, but i only used pranelas sa glass windows, but sometime sa body rin.. So tlagang mag maganda gamitin ay Chamois..any particular brand for it? we have several of those sa auto supply,,, and i usually settled sa medium price brand..

[mazdamazda]

chamois? depends on how you use it. you can either use the glide or patting technique. this is to minimize friction between the chamois & the paint (and reduces your probability of scratching it).

use a microfiber towel / terry cloth / 100% pure cotton towel instead.

san pa ba may alvailable na microfiber?

[odell]

kela the veed... mura du sa big berts ganda quality

[mazdamazda]

Kay Theveed may microfiber, pag 5 kinuha mo may discount ata.

[theveed]

Madaming MF ngayon sa shop, tignan nyo nalang, mas mura pa yung current supplier.

Ipa-windshield detail mo na lang sa BigBerts. Mas mura pa at garantisadong tanggal ang matsa. Hindi pa sasakit ang braso mo sa kakapahid. Dami ko na ring nabiling WS detaling products isama na yung strip-it na worth P700 eh minimum result lang ang nakuha ko. (payat kasi ako kaya mahina ang paghagod ko :D)

kung medyo malakas ang loob mo at malakas ang pulso mo, you can actually use your electric drill to do the job faster. merong nabibili na buffing pad made of soft rubbing material (try DIY shop or handyman), pwede sya ikabit sa ordinary electric drill. then using fine grit rubbing compound, buff away at your windshield. ingat lang ng konti na wag mo tamaan yung paint surfaces ng buffing pad. yan ginawa ko sa windshield ko, tanggal lahat ng water marks even the tough ones. medyo mahirap lang dun sa part na malapit sa windshield rubber gasket at pati yung mga stickers na nakakabit sa windshield kayang tanggalin ng buffing pad specially at high rpm.

some say that using vinegar can remove these water spots. ok ba to?

[chain]

try to use a rotary with a polishing pad. tapos sabayan mo ng glass polisher.. yun nga lang medyo mahirap ang mga corners and sides...

hope this helps

Yep. Pwede ang vinegar. 'Yan gamit ko. Mild acids lang ang solusyon sa water spots, whether sa windows or sa paint. At, ang suka is a mild acid. Pero, distilled vinegar ha, dehins yung Datu Puti or Rufina.

Here's what I do to remove water spots: I wash the car as normal with my car shampoo. After rinsing, I just apply vinegar. Use a soft sponge when applying the vinegar. Let the vinegar sit for about, oh, 30 to 45 seconds then rinse. Do only one section at a time. Pag-tapos ng vinegar application, hugas uli ng kotse (shampoo and rinse). Since the vinegar would remove the wax, prepare to rewax.

following nicolodeon's lead... pagkatapos gamitan ng suka..lagyan ng sibuyas at bawang para paksiw na :D

kidding aside, someone emailed me a long time ago na pwede din daw softdrinks like coca cola or 7 up sa windshield. carbonated drinks contain carbonic acid, also a mild acid, or phosphoric acid (sa 7up and sprite), again a mild acid. the acid basically dissolves away any alkaline material that's deposited on the "water spot". personally, I haven't tried it yet... but an officemate of mine who tried it says it works.

wow matry nga...sa vinegar if dehins rufina or datu puti anong brand ang may distilled vinegar? naiinis na ako sa makakapal na waterspots sa top n sides ng headlights ko aaarrgghhh

[nicolodeon]

Sa leading groceries may distilled vinegar: SM Hypermart, Rustans, Robinsons, etc. A few name brands are Del Monte at Heinz. Wag yung Datu Puti at Rufina kasi maraming chemicals yun.

The good thing about it, as I noticed, if you do this several times, the vinegar would sort of form a natural coat that would...resist the formation of water marks. Well, it won't eliminate them pero matagalan bago mag-form ulit.

[nicolodeon]

Also, if you want to elimite top rust (kalawang na nagfo-form pa lang na dehins pa nakadikit) or tough dirt sa mufflers, use good old coca-cola.

[BlueBimmer]

makagamit nga ng coke mya hehe
