Thank God (and you). I've been dealing with horrible water stains on my HUGE Tesla Model 3 windshield. Tried a cheap clay bar, vinegar and wet Mr. Clean Magic bs eraser and some elbow grease with no luck. After watching this I have the confidence to rid it from my life forever.....YES, YES, YES!!!!
I have had this same exact problem, after trying many different methods and I have very hard water too, I found using tiny bit of compound on a magic eraser works fairly well you don't have to press quite as hard. You can also use a tiny bit of citrol on a magic eraser and it works quite well too.
You can definitely use wheel acid on the glass as well. Dilute it to just as you would do on the wheels, get yourself a pair of gloves and a microfibre cloth and do as shown on the video ( 04:45 ), then rinse off. But if you want to go 100% safe, use diluted hydrochloric acid with the same technique, as HCl does not get any reaction with glass. 1. Do a test first on a small area, and if you are satisfied, continue. 2. You are welcome.
That is the secret for windows for sure! I use .0000 steel wool followed by cheap rubbing alcohol then with The Last Coat….I’m by know way a sales person for The Last Coat. I purchased it some time ago and stand by it now.
This video really helped me. I had tried glass cleaner, vinegar water, claying and using a razor blade on my windows to remove some hard water spots that dripped on my car in an underground parking garage somehow (pipes?, cracks in the ceiling?! Who knows). There were still some really stubborn ones left that wouldn't respond to anything. I never imagined how hard they would be to remove and I had kinda lost hope of getting them out w/o an expensive detail. So, I tried the 0000 steel wool and some compound as you showed and it worked really well. I bought the Spectrum 420 towels and a Twistress drying towel and I'm going to continue the rejuvenation for the rest of the car now. Just wanted to say thanks for such a helpful video.
I came to your sight because my 2020 GMC AT4 had severe hard water spots all over it windows and paint. I just waned to say thanks for you advise. However I found a product I used that works just as good and no polishing and it even worked on the paint and the plastic trim pieces. It is called Lemi Shine dish detergent booster. I used 1/3 cup to about 3 gallons of warm water. The applicator I used was the blue paper shop towels you can get at Oriley’s that I saturated in the solution bucket and I simply wetted the hard water area let it sit for a minute wipe the window/ paint. Dried the surface using microfiber towel and repeated until all spots were gone. I did not take long at all. I followed up with a traditional window cleaner and my windows look brand new. Works great on all the Tim pieces too.Hope this helps you out.
Thanks for the video! Very informative comparison. I use Pro Clean Glass Restorer from GlasWeld paired with 0000 steel wool and a terry towel to toss after use and some kind of glass sealant. Def recommend to hit the affected windows before a car wash since it makes such a mess.
I have a boat that had insane water spots due to an exhaust feature that gets some water on the right side and it dries over and over with horrible calcium deposits. To my surprise CLR worked. Use it every time now. No damage to paint so glass is going to be fine too. No technique really. Spray it on and wipe a bit but not much needed, hose off. Then I wax with the easy stuff. Cheap and works and boat still looks new at 10 years old.
000 or 0000 steel wool works great. And yes you are absolutely right on discarding the towel because of the steel bits. I use a paper shop towel for the first wipe down, saving a MF towel.
Skip the 4/0wool and go with "Braso" polish for metal wipe on , let it work(minimal hand polishing) , wipe it off , =crystal clear 100year old extream hard deposits gone.(did a 6'x10' "picture window" with "storm window"~125lbs of glass to move to expose the window making previous owners leave the problem alone .)
I'm an ASE CMAT and NOT a Bodyman. I have tried Everything on my '01 Corvette... What is the going rate for a professional, as yourself, to do this on my Corvette? Just doing the Math!?! Fantastic Video... Thanks!
I was able to just use white distilled vinegar with a paper towel then used windex with ammonia and that worked great. It was just as bad as you see in the video. I had a ceramic sealant on my car and the hard water stains on the paint went away after I washed it with car wash soap. I used wheel acid on my rims to get rid of the spot as well. Car looks good as new. I highly recommend a ceramic sealant. I work at a detailing shop and was able to do it for free but it can get super expensive if you have a shop do it instead of you're self. We charge about 900 bucks for the treatment we have. It last more then 3 years from what the company was telling us. It works much better then wax for sure.
The problem with water spots is that compounding a lot of times don’t solve the problem entirely. Yes, you remove the spots but the minerals stay embedded into the paint and sometimes when new water fall on them etch the paint/glass once again. The reason MDR is “not” giving you the results you want is because MDR is meant to remove the minerals, not the etching. Once you remove the minerals, you have to polish the paint/glass... this is a point that Yvan explains clearly on the use of MDR.
@@bigguwapbrixks187 it doesn’t always work, what’s never failed me is my rotary polisher, 3 inch foam cutting pads, Meguiar’s 105. Wheel acid, Meguiar’s wheel brightener and a medium bristle brush works well also.
@@bigguwapbrixks187 one tip glasweld pro clean, the only thing that’ll work, I had hard water spots that wouldn’t go away for the love of god and that product worked😉
BKF! Barkeepers friend (original powder) use with the steel wool or even a non scratch scrubber. Apply it with a damp sponge and then rinse it thoroughly. Anytime I have ever doubted this product it surprises me with a victory.
Okay just tried something out and it worked without any scrubbing at all. I used scrubbing bubbles and just sprayed it off with spray bottle with water and wiped off widows were crystal clear.
I left my car in the hot weather after spraying it down with water and not drying it up due to my lazy stupidity. Now I'm trying to get rid of the hard water marks. I can't see out of my rear mirrors lol.
This video would have been perfect if you had have captured any water spots. All we had was you telling us how bad they were and what the comparisons were like.
Did vinegar and dish soap, which I use on everything. No luck. Even tried steel wool and natural no scratch cleanser. Three times on both, including letting vinegar sit to dissolve minerals. STILL spots.
My Silverado was bad came that way! I tried everything I gave up found perfact clean glass at the junk yard switched the sides and back glass in about 45 minutes
Easy.......get a hand applicator put a little polish(I use griots for da machine). Only takes a few secs per spot. Wipe off then put some eraser then preferred sealent/wax if that's what your getting the spots off for.
Auto door glass is easily removed for maximum accessibility. I used the hook and loop head from my 3M headlight resto kit and attached a 0000 steel wool pad.
My science-brain really enjoys the review of all the methods. I would like to purchase a Rupes, but that is not in my budget right now. Do you have any alternatives or hacks for an electric polisher? I have an electric hand drill, and I've heard people using add-ons for that. But i'm concerned about the drill having TOO much power against a window, etc. THANK YOU!
people do not use a steel wool, if it sounds stupid, it probably is. You wont see scratches at first because they will be filled with polish, as soon as it is gone, you'll see them. i really advise you to not use that method.

Does this work on paint also? Reason for asking is I used iron remover on paint and i think it dried on the paint leaving white chalky waterspots. Dont know how to remove them and its al over the cars paint
I saw you used onr to rinse the compound on the small section of glass after you used the compound, but not on the big window. Would u recommend using onr to rinse all the windows or just use a dry microfiber towel. I used the compound and had some trouble getting it off.
Say I got water spots after 15mins and tried to polish the paint that same day but couldn’t get the spots out have you ever heard of having to us an IR lamp to heat the paint up as a solution? I’ve never heard of this before but was told this is the only way? Maybe if it was years later but I’ve never heard of water spot etching that’s bad in less than one day?
Hi mate did you use any paint compound or is that last coat specifically for glass? I was wondering if I could use my meguiars ultimate compound.? Thanks
I was very lucky with Optimum MDR, my new car came with water spots too, months old when I tried to remove them. I used disposable glass towels from Griots. The spots disappeared totally, but you have to leave the product 30 seconds before rubbing it. Luckily, the water spots do not show on my white paint, although I suspect it should affect my gloss level.. Shouldn't we do the whole car ?
Gentleman do I have news for you, I had light water spots all across my windshield and I fixed it quick with stuff I had right at home. Vinegar/water(50/50) and soap water did little to take them off, mom of all people said use baking soda with the vinegar water dummy and a couple quick scrubs of that on a rag and BOOM. Cleaner than ever windshield 10/10 recommend for light spots. Best of luck!
Hi Anthony, I'm getting the last cut compound but can't afford $300 for the LHR75E polisher. Can I use any 3" random orbital polisher, and what material should the yellow pad be made from, is it just a simple foam polishing pad? I'm new to polishers but see there's a few 3" models on amazon for $60-$70. Is this pretty certain to not leave micro scratches/swirls on my windshield that you can see when direct sun comes in? I'll be sure to test it on a more hidden area first.
Everyone is going to call me a liar on this comment. At least until you try this. This removed water spots on the glass of my 2021 CRV LIKE A HOT KNIFE GOING THROUGH BUTTER( simple solution with 0000 steel wool) If you don’t believe me try it on a small spot. You won’t believe how easy it is.
Boyyyy these water spots better come off! I just spent $35 on a compound and another $30 on a cheap da! I tried steel wool vinegar lime and nothing seems to get these water spots off.
Excuse my ignorance, decades since I detailed cars for a living, what- is the - COMPOUND? My glass stains are baked on, across from the beach A1A-the sun here,Flagler beach area - takes even for my born state-Florida, an Unusual tole on tires, etc. Anyone. Thank you!
I tried the last cut on an orange pad with an Adams swirl killer and now I have swirls and distortion on my back window which shows at night when cars are behind me. The water spots are also still there. What do yo recommend I do to fix this?
I always have hard water spots but of i wrinse my care juist with water its al gone idk of its kust like this in europe but my friends also have so many water spots but of they wash their car its all gone maybe its just in America? Idk never had a problem with hard water spots🤷🏼♂️
the compound looks like a heavy cut. isnt that a bit too "heavy" with a yellow pad on glass? what about like a green pad with medium or fine cut polish?
I've tried Adams Correction Polish on their old orange pad, and Meguiar's D300 on a Uro-Fiber. The D300/Uro-Fiber worked much faster and better than the Adams, which was more like a medium cut.
I always get streaks 🤷🏼♂️I use a glass towel and the invisible glass. I tried a lot of different things. I have better results using a glaze or wax.My car is a diamond 💎 the glass gives me trouble.✊
I'm going to try lemishine on my work van. It is citric acid and can be diluted to any strength. It is used to remove calcium deposits from dishwashers and coffee makers 🤷♂️
Your the expert not me, but what I do is half vinegar half distilled water spray on wait 15 minutes rub with half a 🍋 wipe off with a micro fiber towel on to the next window 🤔 😜.

Roll the window down a little to get the top of the window and not stain the trim.
And get polish dust all over the interior...

Hi I have the same problem with a new vehicle I bought can you tell me exactly wut products you ese and the steel wool pads are on the website?
You can get 0000 steel wool at Walmart or a hardware store.
the compound looks like a heavy cut. isnt that a bit too "heavy" with a yellow pad on glass? what about like a green pad with medium or fine cut polish?
I've tried Adams Correction Polish on their old orange pad, and Meguiar's D300 on a Uro-Fiber.
The D300/Uro-Fiber worked much faster and better than the Adams, which was more like a medium cut.
ok cool but wtf is ONR and what is a clay mitt??
in other words,, polish/ compound by hand or take your car to a detailer
is this safe on tinted windows?
Does this work on tinted windows?
I always get streaks 🤷🏼♂️I use a glass towel and the invisible glass. I tried a lot of different things. I have better results using a glaze or wax.My car is a diamond 💎 the glass gives me trouble.✊
Use two towels
Try cleaning the glass in a garage or in the shade. Also try Stoner Invaglass
Lime-A-Way works well......you just have to be careful to keep it off of the paint.
I was thinking about using CLR, I wonder if that would do the job?
I'm going to try lemishine on my work van. It is citric acid and can be diluted to any strength. It is used to remove calcium deposits from dishwashers and coffee makers 🤷♂️
for my windshield:
vinegar=nope
clr=nope
limeaway=nope
compound & microfi sponge=nope
