Window woes

[Wandering_Storm]

I purchased a three year old winnebago View. The window glass has water spots and I have tried everything short of acid to clean them up. It doesn't really cause a problem but in an anal sense I would like to solve the problem. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks john McD

0000 steel wool, brass preferred but regular will work. It must be 0000. This is what many detailers use. I have done it for years with no issues. Use the steel wool, clean with any window cleaner, (Windex, etc.) then two coats of RainX and the glass will be like new again.

Yes - works well too.

That is what I use. I had spots that vinegar didn't remove and CLR did - with very little effort.

I've used this method with success:

quick and easy.

I use straight vinegar if I have that kind of spots. Rinse well after the spots are gone.

Bar Keepers Friend works.

I have wet sanded windows and fogged headlights using a high grit sandpaper like 2000 grit or above. Rub very lightly and immediately follow up with non ammonia glass cleaner

Check an auto parts store.

or option B., just not be so anal and ignore the spots. I wouldn't be taking any steel wool to my windows.

Bump.......0000 steel wool will absolutely do no damage to window glass. Try it, you'll like it.

When we got home I sprayed windex on the glass real heavy. Then used a razor blade and slid it across the glass gently. Every bit of the water spots came right off. No scratches due to the windex made it slippery.

This is a method for disaster. One catch of the razor on glass and you'll have a scratch. It's totally unnecessary to use a razor blade on glass.

white vinegar and 0000 steel wool (brass wool if you can find it) and lots of elbow grease
