Hey all,

I just got my RX-8 after much drooling over it. When i get it home i notice that there are water spots on the front windshield. I tried normal glass cleaner, white vinegar and soap and water. They are still there. Alot fainter than before but still there. I know this is the dealerships doing because i can see where the sticker was when at the dealer. The area where the sticker was is water spot free. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Later

 

Is it dried drool ? LOL
Try something heavier like alcohol,gasoline, or adhesive remover. If that doesn't work, I have no clue.

Good luck

 

Oh yea. Welcome to the club ( or as I've seen before - cult)

ENJOY !

 

I've used a household cleaner called "Bon Ami" It has gotten anything off of glass that I've used it with. Just wet it, generously sprinkle some on, and wipe thoroughly with a sponge for a few minutes and rinse..... {that sounded like directions from a shampoo bottle didn't it....?} oh well......give it a shot.....

 

Try some toothpaste. Be gentle though.

 

One of the guys at Autopia.com says he cleans stuff off of glass w/ a claybar w/ great results. I couldn't get logged on there but you can probably find it by doing a search for claybar.
BTW - WELCOME!

 

use rain x glass cleaner

then rainx original afterwords

good luck

 

Rain X just gives me bad haze that lasts for 2 weeks and then the windows stay clear afterwards, which is good. I have done this claybar on window thing. It works! I was concerned about scratching it but so far, no scratch.

Hey Wytnyt, nice avatar. That's Dhabih Eng's art isn't it? He's got a really cool forum where graphic artists gather. Lots of talent in that forum. Makes me feel small looking at their work.

 

rain x works great here.. the trick is to go back and polish the hell out of it about 5 mins after you first apply it..

 

The key to Rain-X is apply it to a perfectly clean window. First use a glass cleaner/polish, not windex or the likes. Then apply the Rain-X. Let it haze and wipe it. Then come back in about 10 minutes and wipe it again.

 

i use the wipes.. after i wash and wax the car.. last thing i do is use the wipes and then polish works great..

 

There is a cleaner called "CLR" sold to remove lime deposits in the household cleaners section of any grocery/department store, even WalMart. DO NOT LET IT GET ON YOUR TRIM. Use this full strength, wearing gloves - will take it off almost instantly.
