Just polish your glass. I use my PC and Autoglym or scratch x. Should come out sparkling clean.

 

My wife has SOMETHING that just would NOT budge on her door mirror after being in the body shop once - sounds similar to your problem. The only thing that took it off was an abrasive polish as Ubetit has suggested.

I believe I used the Z12 Glass Polish, but any paint polish with abrasives should do the trick (such as ScratchX, 3M Fine Cut, etc).

 

[QUOTE=Ubetit,May 22 2006, 04:28 AM] Just polish your glass.

 

I had this when i had my door touched up and had some clearcoat/Lacquer over spray in places. Clay took it off no problems.

 

Even simpler than clay is just to get some #0000 steel wool. Just get the window nice and lubed up with class cleaner and scrub away. It won't scratch the window and it will take off just about everything. Water spots, overspray, etc... all come off very easily.

I would go to glass polish if that doesn't work. The only downside of the glass polish is that it seems to take away some of the properties of the glass which allow water to run right off of it. Every time that I have had to polish the glass water had a great tendency to stick to the glass afterwards.

If you do end up polishing up the glass, hit it with rainx afterwards to give the glass its water repellent properties back.

Yeah, steel wool is also a good idea. I'm surprised by your comments about glass polishing though. I find after I polish my glass that water flies off it due to the increased smoothness of the glass. What polish are you using on your glass?

 

^^ I have used two different kinds and they both seemed to have the same effect.

I can understand your disbelief though, when I first did it I thought that it would remove all of the impurities in the glass and it would definitely have the effect that you describe. I was really surprised to find that it was different.

Although after rainx everything was all good.

Double posted...oops.

Which glass polishes were you using and how did you apply them? Also, after polishing did you follow up by cleaning the glass again?

 

Yeah, I used the griots garage glass polish and this other glass polish that I got specifically from a friend of mine who does windshield repair. I cleaned the window normally afterwards. I basically treated it like I would treat any other car polish or wax.

I know that it seems illogical, I really didn't think that it would have that result at all.
