Water stains on windshield

[Most_Wanted]

May mga nabasa ako sa ibang forums na ang cheapest and easiest way para matanggal yung water stains sa windshield is by rubbing it off with cotton and vinegar/ammonia. Is this true?

[russpogi]

I think so but not sure. Basta what I do is I use rubbing compund on my windshield. Nakaka-ngalay lang sa braso! hehehe!

i guess DIY is good, just get a glass rubbing compound... you're done in about 30mins to an hour..

pwede yun. pwede rin clay. (sa salamin). a good glass polisher would do better. the use of cotton can be replaced with MF towels.

nasubok ko na: bondo rubbing compound, fine grit grade, turtlewax rubbing compound, fine grit din, saka yung MCR (?)polishing compound yata yun, basta yung mura lang na nakaplastic, usually gamit pang shine ng metal buckles. caution lang, medyo highly abrasive yung MCR but it's very effective if used properly on dried window/glass stains. mangangalay ka nga lang sa kaka-wax-in wax-off ala karate kid di advisable gumamit ng rotary polisher kasi makalat. pero kung rubbing compound, pwede gumamit ng rotary polisher. what i used before, yung nabibili sa DIY shop na parang wool na round pad, pwede i-attach sa variable speed hand drill. it takes some practice bago mo ma-master nat kong ingat din na wag madale yung painted areas. kung ayaw mo DIY, Big Bird..este Big Bert's is the answer ;)

Ako din gamit ko rubbing compound lang na turtle wax nakakapagod nga lang.Dati sa suzuki fronte ko ang hirap tanggalin ng mga water spots ang tagal bago ako nakatapos inabot ata ako ng isang oras mahigit..

Paano ba 'to? Isnt it WD40 oil based? So you just spray it on the windshield and wipe it off? I believe youi'd have to use a glass cleaner afterwards or use shampoo to rid of the oil.

what i do is to bring my car to a detailing shop. sila na nagkakayod.... mura lang naman yan, i am paying 300 dun sa suking car wash/detailing shop ko na malapit sa amin.

I used vinegar (as a home remedy) and it worked but only minimally.

Then i went to a car shop (like Concorde) to buy ELEVO WATER MARK REMOVER. It cost me just around 250bucks. I used it on my civic's windshield, 4 windows and rear window and my mom's pajero windows too.

Tanggal lahat ng water mark stains! It's definitely worth it coz even after using it on both cars, more 2/3 pa ang laman ng bottle. Cheaper and less hassle than taking it to a detailing shop indeed!

Plus it's very easy to use. No hard rubbing required. Just spread it lightly with the sponge that comes in the box! I used gloves because it could sting or itch the skin.. Instructions on the box advises you not to use it on mirrors. Only clear glass windows.
