Car windshield water stains
« on: July 15, 2020, 10:24:24 PM »
Anyone have experience with this? The windshield of my car got water stains that won’t come off. I tried vinegar and lemons... now I bought this from amazon- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M7T3D99/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_4N7dFb6GWG11Q

Should I use this or better get it done by a shop? Any ideas?

How about something like headlight restoration kits?
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

Do you know for a fact that it works? I’d rather not try every suggestion that everyone gives if it’s not based on experience... I appreciate the thought though...

In that case use a Random Orbital Buffer and rubbing compound.
ETA: Don't recommend for a windshield.

might need blinker fluid for that matter

Seriously, though, I had a car that kept getting these stains and eventually we replaced the wipers for like $20 and it completely solved the problem
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

I used what I bought from amazon scrubbed a little and it worked. It took around 10 minutes in all after scrubbing, washing down, and touch up drying.

Auto clay works great for that.
