My newly purchasec 07 had bad water spots on all the glass, worst on the sunroof. Vinigar no good, cleaner wax no good, windex no good, polishing compound no good, CLR even no good.

Used this stuff called "Spot-X" I found at Home Depot. Done it today. Squeeky clean, spotless. Scab with sunroof, did W-shield, sides, back, and roof all in less than 30 minutes. Could hardly believe the ease if use.

Great product!

RC (club soda) always worked great for me. And Cheap!!

You know I would really like to see pics of peanut butter on your windshield. I would think that that would be harder to get off than the water spots. Maybe that's the idea

Ok, so........Workin in the aftermarket sales for automotive parts. Ive found that a paste of baking soda and water works wonders.

And as far as keeping them off. Treat your windshield with RAIN-X.... I think you could use on your bumpers too. I havent tried it just yet though. You can even buy it in the washer fluid pre-mixed and ready to put on everytime you use your washers. Oh yeah, get the winter mix right now.
