HELP !!!!!!!
Permalink  
 


I have a 50 year old two door hardtop.
The original side glass has what looks to be water stains on them.
I tried ,,,,
glass cleaner,
vinegar and baking soda,
armor all glass scrub,
high alcohol hand scrub,
white off (used to clean white off the glass on a wood stove),
and car wax.
Still has a ton of what looks like water spots. Got any suggestions on how to get the marks off?
Thanks for the help

the marks you are seeing are likely some kind of deposit, try some clr, removes calcium lime and rust

That was quick thanks Rob but I forgot to list CLR yes I tried that too. That being said maybe it has to be stronger. I mixed it about 50/50

Thanks

Try a new razor blade or fine steel wool.

If it's laminated glass, the stains may be between and you can scrub forever and still get nowhere.

50/50 mix?
You're supposed to mix it?
Never tried that before. 100% or nothing.

Thanks to everyone for the help. It is TEMPERED glass not laminated. I think I will try 100% see what happens.

 Figured as much. My 41 Chysler side glass is laminate. Yours is much newer.

If you're gonna try steel wool, use 4-0, or 0000. You can use it on bumpers etc, and does a nice job on that.

I've used toothpaste to 'buff' up glass with decent results.

I have used toothpaste as well, in fact I used toothpaste to buff out a couple of small scratches in a rental car once and I got away without any damage fees. Amazing what an eye glass cleaning pad and toothpaste will do for you.

Well I went to Lowes today to pickup some things for the honey-do list also picked up some 0000 steel wool. 
I'll give it a try later today. Last night I used a small foam buffing pad on a air tool with some real fine rubbing compound. A lot of the marks are gone but not all. See what today brings. Thanks to all for the help.
