bad water spots.

My Expy does not have the luxurary of using the garage. As a result it has developed a bad case of water spots, I tried automotive window cleaners and even white viniger. Nothing seems to work, does anyone have a solution or a product that is great for removing tough water spots off windows.

Try glass polish. Most of the major manufactures make it and you should be able to find it at auto parts stores. It is usually a paste.

If they are fresh, hose down the truck and use a towel to dry it. However, if they are older, try a clay bar. The clay bar will remove all of the contaminates in the paint. Once you use the clay bar, you will need to wax the vehicle since the clay bar will also remove wax.

after washing use a leather chemise to dry it and the windows, when i worked at the detail shop i had some blue cloth towels i would also use but some of the blue shop paper towels will work and i also used some foam glass cleaner. if your windows are tinted they may not have been cleaned properly before the tint was applied, if this is the case then you will not get them off with out taking the tint off.
