Methods for removing water spotso n winshield/glass?
Im not sure what I want to try. I already tried mag/wire wheel paste with a newspaper, and that did nothing, I need something a little more harsh, but I'm not ready to use battery acid just yet. Has anybody tried like CLR or something? what was your results? thanks

When I had my own detailing business, I used a product called Spray Clay. It is made by the Diamondite company which has a complete glass cleaning line to include the Spray Clay (you apply it to the glass and then rub it in with a rough plastic sponge supplied), a Glass and Surface Cleaner and a Rain-X type product.
Their toll free number is 1-800-426-1380. I had very good results with removing acid rain spots from glass, when normal window cleaner would not do the job. The Spray Clay is a natural Kaolin clay formulation dispensed through an aerosol can. The can says it removes Acid Rain spots/ Hard Water Spots/ Paint Overspray and Industrial Fallout from glass and paint.

I might try that. I had a guy who manages a glass company recommend fine steel wool with alcohol. Have yet to try it.

Either of these should work fine... ive used both. I also wouldnt try the steel wool... I doubt it will but if you somehow leave scratches in the glass unless they are very very fine... they will not come out.

My friend has a few scratches in his windshield and was asking me what to use. I looked around online and found a lot about Cerium Oxide. It is used to polish glass, mirrors (telescopes) and stones.
He said he wanted to try it but I don't think he ordered it yet. If he does buy it I will post up with the results.
Found it on Amazon, everything from an 8oz bottle to a 525lb drum
