the residue I am talkign about is when u spray cleaner on it and you still see the spots but once its clean you really cant see it as bad, basically you can clean the white off the water spots but the hard spot is still there, i hope that makes since.

If your ever on the eastside I have a detail businuess and give tyf discounts:hands:

What do you use to get the water spots off regency? Do you have a product i could buy?The vinegar and clay bar is not doing it for me on the tinted windows, its not even getting the waterspots off 100% plus like stated above i see what hes talking about. Tomorrow i am going to try the "0000" steel wool like from the 2nd post. The thing that is getting me is i have a 96 accord that has absolutely no water spots on the windows at all. Ive never done anything special with them. Also if there this bad on my windows i wonder whats hiding on the WDT paint. Big detail coming over the next month or so.

-I'm supplied buy chemical guys great company just bing them and they come right up
-I've never had water spots because I literally detail my truck every month and wash it every weekend only in very small areas which is why I'm doing the steel wool
-Yeah I just got done with a detail but pretty soon I'm gonna strip the wax and re-do everything
-After your done and if you don't use rain-x I would try the chemical guys butter wet wax (you can put it anywhere)
-Use coupon code gold if you end up getting some supplies just hit me up if you wanna know what I use for your upcoming detail.

just click on your state, it showed places like walmart, kmart, ace hardware, homed depot and more in my area, so it seems liek a easy product to find, it probably in the kitchen cleaner aisle.


I tried this on the water spots on my mirror glass and I wasn't too impressed. I'm going to try it again but I'm definitely open for some more suggestions. I have a pretty good amount of water spots on my windows that need to go!

Try some 3M rubbing compound on your window. It is abrasive enough to get that stuff off w/o scratching the window.
I used it to get overspray off the window that nothing else would get off.
