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!

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.

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

I too chose steel wool, but only after applying a light paste of 1/1 baking soda & water (left to dry) and then spritzing it with white cider vinegar. I used the steel wool to scrub after letting the vinegar do its job for a few minutes... about ten minutes of scrubbing and a few minutes hitting missed spots. My glass was SPOTLESS. One of these days I will Tech-up and record my work too. 😁

This is good to know. I’m told extra-fine steel wool on a buffer wheel will make quick work of thems winders. I used white stinky vinegar in the old glass water kettle the other day…Almost instantly zapped the calcium deposits. Muriatic acid is your friend and enemy for a quick fight against water stains. Once the calcium etches in, it’s a battle and a half. So keep up on your water stain removal, don’t let it sit for years.

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.

Hope that helps you in the future.

Never thought of using steel wool #0000. My windshield situation was a bad batch of windshield cleaner (1 gal from WallyWorld) which left a nasty bluish color water stain which dried up for quite sometime on the very rightside, top, and leftside where the wipers don’t make contact. I’ve used window cleaner, vinegar, soap, & ammonia, none of it worked. So after watching this video, I bought a pack of #0000 steel wool. Used a soapy microfiber towel and cleaned the windshield, rinsed and started the Miyagi method with some elbow greased. I scrubbed it 3x using 3 steel wool for 10-15 minutes each time. Holy schnitzel! It friggin got the majority of the bluish water stain off. It’s way much clearer now than before. Thanks for sharing👍🏼

For thicker deposits, I’ve used vinegar full strength. You can use regular vinegar or cleaning vinegar, they’re virtually the same for cleaning. I’ve even used this on my cars paint without any issue, lets see the same with steel wool. 😂

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.

I have a car buffer pad I use with some steel wool embedded into a microfiber rag that I run over the windows. (With the buffer on a wet window). Works like a champ to clean the windows. As for the inside, I’m never happy…. Tried all sorts of things…

The stains you see on the glass is simply chalk or better calcium. vinegar is a natural product that "eats" chalk. Soak kitchen paper in natural vinegar and stick the soaked paper to the window and let the vinegar set in for the night (no elbow grease needed). Make sure to use Natural vinegar and Not Cleaning vinegar (cleaning vinegar corrode rubber) I use this techniek to descale my bath faucet😉 There are descaling products on the market you can try but make sure they don't corrode your rubber and paint!

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.

Another tip with the steel wool: ''it is the long filaments rubbing lengthways that polishes the glass'', as they break the filaments can turn and if they do the broken ends can scratch (don't cheap out, you might need to use the whole packet). Also works as the best chrome cleaner.

I’d try vinegar with the steel wool. Vinegar is a mild acid (similar to lemon juice) and may help make the steel wool even faster.

Tip. Don't throw away dehumidifier water. Use it as a final rinse to "sheet" off your prior rinse. Allow to air dry - no need to wipe. Stunning results.

Best way to clean glass is good old school Vinegar -$2 for 4L bottle (try it, might save you from getting super fine steel particles on your car). I've never seen this super fine steel wool before. Thanks for introducing me to this method but I am still too afraid of scratching my glass.

Hi David - vinegar works, but takes such a long time (and I hate the smell). You could always try the steel wool on a very very small section of the lower part of your windshield (below where you see through it, over the area where it is sealed to the body with urethane, etc) to see how well it works or if it mars your glass at all. Thanks for watching!

Diamond Magic is the best stuff I have ever used. It is ground up industrial grade diamonds in a paste that you put on a damp cloth and keep the window wet. Be careful because of course diamonds are harder than glass, but it won't make your car rust.
