Go to your local grocery store or Appliance parts store.

I washed our Jeep this weekend and didn't get to the windows quick enough and ended up with the dreaded water spots.

Being Bored, BBQ'inq, and Drinking Beers I kept staring at my windshield with disgust.

I decided ya know what? Screw it, I'm going to use my Glass Cooktop Creme polish on the windshield.

It worked beautifully, driving down the road it's like I don't even have a windshield.



Only need a little bit, it goes on and dries like a wax and then you wipe it off.

Vinegar and water will take off some pretty stubborn water spots too. Use it on paint and gelcoat as well. Doesn't seem to strip teh wax off either.

Yup. Used it all the time on my boat to get the water spots off the gelcoat. Pretty cheap solution, too.

I use Zaino glass polish. Works awesome...

Seems expensive? $12.95 for 8oz.

The C/T Creme is $5.00 for 10oz.

I don't use it all the time. I've had the same bottle for about 8 years now. Your stuff is definitely cheaper and probably easier to get your hands on...

I just try to be quick and I make sure to wash the windshield as close to the end as possible and then get the chamois out quickly....

The question is....

how will it hold up to rain while driving?

Nice find Steel!
Those spots on my dark window really bug me and I never found anything that took them off before, I will give it a try.

Have you tried WD-40?

ive got some kind of oxidation on my hood what do you guys think would get that off? my paint is black and theres just one spot that is discolored what can get that out?

Grit Dog

If nothing you've tried works, you'll need to buf and polish it out with a rotary polisher. Use a med cut rubbing compound first then a polishing compound, probably then a swirl remover/glaze since it's black.
Having owned a 2001, I would reccomend starting with the finest material first to see what takes it out. I wouldn't even attempt to wet sand as the clearcoat is VERY THIN. The paint on my '01 at least sucked ballz!
I lightly sanded out a scratch with 1000 grit and swear I just touched it with the polisher and I was through the clear and base coat almost instantly!
I ended up repainting part of the panel.

hmm im a commercial painter and am used to hammerin down when i sand and grind i dont know if i want to try wet sanding it maybe a buffing wheel and some nice polish will get it. any suggestions on compounds to use to get the oxidation out?

A clay-bar works well also.

X3 + a microfiber cloth. I get the worst waterspots from the runoff off of my cabover camper during the night. I tried everything until going with the simple solution:vinegar.

GLASS WAX does the trick for me, chrome too
