Have you tried to scrape it off with a razor blade?

Razor is one of the best ways. You can also try "0000"-weight steel wool, it's fine enough it will not do damage to the glass.

Silly question, are you sure they are on the OUTSIDE of the glass? Maybe just give the inside a good clean and coat in RAINEX anti-fog (or equivalent)?

Bon-Ami Original. It just works.

@Draco-REX
Were you able to remove the hard water spots? I have the EXACT same problem. Mine came this way pre-delivery or from the dealer. I've always used ONR (2 bucket method) inside my garage. There is no way I put those there.

I've tried vinegar, but that didn't work. I tried a claybar and ONR, but that didn't work. I'm going to pick up some Bon Ami, in hopes that'll help.

Just curious if you ever got it resolved. It's very faint and noticeable at night only, but very very annoying.

Thanks!

Thanks rssv. I actually tried a claybar, but that didn't help. I have several suggestions, which I plan on trying this week. I'll report back with my findings. Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Have you tried Dimondite?

It worked well for my Mustang when I had it.

I'm curious, do you have a pic of what it looks like?

russv · 02-28-2013, 03:06 PM

I had bad water spots on my Chevy truck and tried a number of things. Soaking a towel in 50-50 water and vinegar and let it soak for about 15 minutes-got some of it off. Tried Bon Ami which is a non abrasive cleaner-got some of it off.
Tried some steel wool-got some of it off. Sometimes just have to try a number of different techniques.

Carpro ceriglass can be found at Carpro-us.com. Best thing you'll find for getting water spots off glass. Can be used by hand or machine.

Thanks - I'll give this a try if my other products don't work!

I'll see if I can get a picture of it. It's tough, because it has to be dark out...but the lighting has to be perfect. The spots are definitely there, and all my passengers seem to notice it as well.
