How To Remove Water Spots From Car Windows

[@arrescue]

This is how a video should be done. Informative, helpful, no sales pitch. Thank you so much for the information. Very very helpful.

[@melvinhunt6976]

In construction, professional window washers on glass would use steel wool. Very soapy water to keep it slick. It doesn’t scratch the glass.

[@jasonwojcik]

For the first time in my 47 years of existence, I am actually excited to clean the glass walls in the shower. Thank you for making this video!

[@AmplifyDIY]

Glad I could help!

[@Sujowi]

There’s a coating you can have applied to a shower screen than means it will never spot. It fills the microscopic holes in the glass that catch the water. Worth the money if you want to stop cleaning. Won’t work on a car windscreen unfortunately!

THE FINE STEEL WOOL TRICK WORKS LIKE A CHARM!!!! My windows look INCREDIBLY clear now!! I stumbled upon this video because I just purcahsed a really nice looking like new/certified used truck.... one problem though.... After I got it from the dealership's detailer post purchase at night, the windows had serious water stains on them I didn't notice until the next morning the severity of. I tried vinegar and lemon solutions from videos I watched and neither of the worked. Came back today to searcxh for more videos and stumbled upon yours. Thanks for the demonstration and comparison!

[@edwardfg2702]

Thanks for the extra confirmation on the steel wool! I tried the vinegar thing too that turned out worthless. Just ordered some #0000 myself to handle this same issue with a 2019 Accord I just picked up :)

[@mikeellis2944]

I have literally cleaned thousands of cars in my lifetime and I can tell you if you use the steel wool with soap and water and then come back with a polisher with a polishing compound that glass will come out looking brand new. We used to do all of the used cars this way when I worked at a dealership

You mean polishing compound not cutting compound correct? Something like a light polishing after heavy cutting compound?

I tried steel wool. No luck. Glass is now hazy and much much worse driving at night. Thanks !

[@rogeriocosta1035]

Nice demo! The main problem with steel wool is it can leave very fine particles over the car that can rust and stain the paint. You can use it safely only if you going to pressure wash the car right after. But any product to remove hard water stain will be corrosive too, so a good wash after the procedure is always mandatory. By the way, paint polishing paste compound sometimes helps and is safe to be used in small areas without washing the hole car.

[@melvinhunt6976]

On glass ? No it doesn’t!

[@inlovewithhumans]

It's only for glass that they are using steel wool.

[@itsumonihon]

@@inlovewithhumans you're missing his point, when you are scrubbing glass with steel wool, particles of it fly off in the air and can land on other parts of the car, then they rust.

Steel wool will scratch the glass coating. When the sun hits it, it will look like a thin spider web

[@Mikezyoyo]

For Heavy Hard Water Spots, use some buffing compound with the steel wool instead of lubricating with soapy water. Then go over 1 more time lubricating the steel wool with some polish. The compound adds that little bit extra to quickly get off the hard water off. Of coarse there are professional products and tools, but this technique is for keeping in line with this video topic of cleaning glass with DIY techniques

[@AmplifyDIY]

I had not thought about using a buffing/polish compound with the steel wool. I'll add that to the list of follow-up ideas. Thanks!

[@raythomas2845]

The steel wool def works. I had terrible hard water spots on my window from the sprinkler to where it was making it hard for me to see. I tried several things, the vinegar recipe, stuff off Amazon and then I saw this video. We completely got rid of them with the steel wool.

[@AmplifyDIY]

Awesome, Ray!

[@dinbee4611]

I used steel wool first than wash it down before using rain-x or other similar water repellant solution. U can wash it down with your preferred cleaning solution be it detergent, dishwashing liquid, windshield cleaners, etc., then drying the windshield well before applying the water repellant solution. It always works wonders.

[@dusting81]

Safest way to clean hard water spots is with a clay bar and detail lubricant spray, you can also use detail spray wax that's compatible with clay barring. Same as you'd do the paint on your car. Medium bar is ideal for glass and will make your glass look new and super soft.

[@detailedbyj_]

How effective is this method

[@ankhiondon8918]

There is another product called "Bar Keepers Friend" that works very well. Comes in a powder form (like Ajax or Comet) or liquid.

Thank you! Thanks for doing a demo with things around the house and not selling stuff. Also the comparison was great 👍🏻 Tried it on my side view mirror. I had an old multi-pack of steel wool pads and didn’t know if I was using super fine so I was super gentle, but it worked great! I’ll get some super fine steel wool and go to town on my windows. I tried a lot of stuff and nothing worked. Thanks again!

[@davidgalietti3398]

Acidic products need time to work. You are however better off using something like cleaning vinegar. Soak something with it, cover it with plastic and leave it for a few hours. The water spots will be gone.

[@AmplifyDIY]

Good tip! As I've mentioned to other commenters with similar suggestions: you are exactly right. Acetic approaches will work, they just take time. If you are looking for a faster solution, #0000 fine steel wool does an excellent job in a fraction of the time (though it requires a lot more elbow grease). Thanks for watching!

[@ernesthorning4770]

I’ve been using 50/50 vinegar and water on glass for several years, inside and outside my house. Simple water spots, like from a sprinkler, come right off, and won't harm paint.

I too used vinegar for dried water spots on car windshield and paint with great success because those are dried up minerals residues from water with virtually no scrubbing because the paint can’t handle that. On the other hand, shower is mineral in water plus soap scums. Glass are quite tolerable to scrubbing. I found melamine sponge are fastest. The key is not to clean the shower once a year. Do it every month or every other month would required much less time in total compared to once a year. The longer it stay on, the thought it takes to remove.

Hey bud, they make a glass polishing compound called cerium oxide. Use with an orbital buffer and a foam pad. I have multiple classic cars with original windshields and wanted to keep them so I learned how the professionals do it. I think you can buy a premixed cerium oxide paste but I mix it myself. Hope that helps you in the future.

Thank you for the tip, Stephan! I do have a random-orbit polisher. I'll have to see if I can find some cerium oxide paste to try. Thanks!

It doesn't help. The purpose of this video was to learn how to clean with items you already have at home. Not many people have orbital buffers.

I park my car under a tree, not directly under it, but there are a few branches that reach out and are over my car. The darn tree leaks sap or the morning dew drips or something. When I wash my car, there are these stubborn spots from where the tree drips on my windshield and on the paint. It washes off the paint pretty easily because I regularly wash my car and wax/seal the paint. I also try to wax the windows but it's just not as effective on glass as it is on paint. Well, those damn spots on the windshield just would not come off. I have to scrub and scrub and scrub and put some serious muscle just to slightly clean off the spots, but their outline is imprinted on the damn windshield and it's frustrating because it's right dead center in front of the driver's view. I've dealt with it for years and finally I googled how to clean these stupid spots. Well to my surprise the fix was stupid easy! Vinegar and water mixed in a spray bottle, spray onto the glass, let it sit for about 2-3 minutes, and wipe it off. Glass looks brand new like the day I drove it off the dealer lot. Not a single spot visible and it's crystal clear, I'm blown away! You just have to be careful and not let the overspray sit on your paint for too long. Vinegar is acidic and can damage your paint if left on too long, especially on a hot day in the sun where it will dry quicker. Now I only use this mixture on my wash days, and I use it on the glass first before washing the car. That way any overspray will quickly be washed off when I do the rest of the car wash. Then finish off the windows as usual with whatever preferred glass cleaner of your choosing.

Vinegar can work well, depending on the exact type of deposits. It's great for removing tree sap, so it works well in your case. For other hard water deposits, it takes a lot longer, or is much less effective. Thanks for watching!
