spotty glass

Anybody know how to clean up glass that looks spotty? My mirrors look like they are covered with water spots but it won't come off the glass. I've tried glass cleaner, rubbing alcohol, dish soap, shaving cream, and even toothpaste. It's like it's embeded in the glass but it still feels nice and smooth. Ideas?

Diamondit 3 step glass restoration kit from eastwood. my glass was really badly spotted, to the point where you could catch the edge of the spot with a razor blade...anyways after trying everything on the market I ended up with the diamondit and it really works well my glass looks like new granted it took a lot of elbow grease but the finished product was well worth it....I reccomend you mask all of your molding and get a sponge buffing pad that will fit into a drill. if your going to do the whole car it will take two kits.

Q: How do I get waterspots off my car?

A: Waterspots are a major problem with most cars. If you leave your car parked near sprinklers or anywhere water could be sprayed then you run a good chance of getting the kind of spots that are difficult to remove. Calcium and other minerals in the water can leave deposits on your paint that don’t come off with mere washing. To remove these spots the easiest way I have found is to soak a cloth in vinegar and then let it sit on the affected area. Obviously you’ll have to repeat this multiple times since you probably don’t have a cloth large enough to cover the whole side of your car. The reason you want to soak the cloth is because that way it will be in contact with the mineral deposits longer and be able to break them down. After doing this vinegar wash you should wash with regular old car wash. The soap will neutralize the acids from the vinegar and also get that smell of your car. Nobody wants to drive around smelling like a pickle.

If vinegar doesn’t do the trick then it is possible that the minerals have etched your clear coat. In that event you will need to polish the paint with a mild abrasive. That is the sort of work best left to a machine, but mild etching could be removed by hand. Definitely try the vinegar trick first before you bust out abrasive polishes or paint cleaners. Get to the spots as soon as you can and you should have an easy time getting them off. If you let your car sit in the sprinklers for several days then the amount of damage will be severe. It may be necessary to take the car to a professional. It costs you practically nothing to try some vinegar on the spots first and then worry about what is left over later.
