How to eliminate water stains on window glass?

[nd4ever]

Yo morning guys, i'm wondering how to heck to eliminate water stains that occured usually on the front windscreen, rear windscreen & all windows glasses on our car?

My fiancee's Vios & Waja started to have this bloody annoying problem since a year ago & i'm still searching for the best possible solution to deal with it. I've tried sending it for polish at those car spray painting shops & still it wont even last for 3 months! Macipet! Fedup edi ler.

So anyone of u guys can share some ideas to deal with this particular problem? Thanx & i appreciated it a lot buddies! ;) :)

Hmmm........ i've tried autosol to deal with the problem but still, it wont last long enough. In less than 4 months, the damn water stains keep coming back. Dammit! :angry_smile:

Anymore ideas? Anyone? :Not_Impressed:

used to have this problem as well...and when it's raining it's hard for the wiper to clean the screen as it'll streak pretty badly..i sent my car to the car grooming service and they managed to get the water stain out...costed me ard RM40 and they used some sort of solution which was pretty powerful...now back to OK...good stuff

Autosol first until nice-nice, then fast-fast stick tinting film on the effected surface....

LeChuCk, which car grooming center that u sent ur car to rectify the water stains? I noticed that u r from Penang rite? Errr....... i'm located in KL area ler buddy. :shades_smile:

RM40 is bloody cheap just to rectify the problem as i'm tired & fedup with it edi. Such a new car also kena, even my fiancee's new Sentra starting to show up signs of water stains spots on the door windows. Dammit! :angry_smile:

Try vinegar with water, 1 to 1 ratio.

My friend's new wira got same problem. EON use some kind of chemical to clean it. It works, but not 100% clean, still a bit stain, but very minimal.

First thing you should do, DO NOT use Rain-X.

From my previous experience, Rain X is the main culprit that causes watermarks. I had a similar problem too, but i just stopped using it and after many many car washes over a period of time, it just goes off.

Alternatively, you could use those soap powder. Fab of something that is strong enough and wash the windscreen, it'll help abit. Again, you must wash it a couple of time before it slowly wears off.

You could use something stronger like alcohol/thinner to remove but you must be very very careful not to put too much coz you might end up scrubbing off your car paint instead.

Yup! agree with gabazz

using autosol

but there is a trick!

by using autosol but not with your hand, it is no use on it!!!!!

first apply some autosol on your windows, whole of your windows, then here is important, you have to polish the window with a polisher mechine but not with your own hand. exsample polisher like those driller. have to go to metel shop buy those polisher span. ( around RM5 only )

at least 3 times to polish.

my car window like new after polish it. learn it from tinted shop. heheh

omg...not everyone has a polisher..:_:

is there other alternatives?

[earl-ku]

youocan get autosol from any hardware shop or supermarket or hypermarkey or diy shop

cost you less than RM10 for a tube

 

[especko]
