Glass waterspots: gone!

No, it won't fit in the garage. This issue has been bugging me since day one.

Used Cerama-Bryte (cooktop polish) on my windshield yesterday morning … bad water spots that nothing else could touch (Barkeeper’s Helper, 0000 steel wool, straight vinegar, CLR, household sprays). Worked quite well for a quick first effort. Don’t think anything other than glass polish works on water spots.

On a reliable tip, picked up a 14oz. tub ($8) of Amaz along with an Amaz “scrubber” pad ($1) at Ace. The directions call for a “gripper” pad, but probably the same thing.

The pad is somewhat like a Scotchbrite, but not as dense (abrasive), thicker, and white. Amaz itself is like thick paint, very gooey, also white. Anyway, I put a very small amount on the scrubber and worked on a 1ft. circle on the rear driver-side window that was all little water spots. Let it sit for about 3 minutes, buffed with a terry towel. Wow! Came out perfectly spot-free and with not that much elbow grease.

Cerama-Bryte did very well (still could see faint outlines in direct sunlight), but Amaz seems to be a perfect product. Rained heavily here yesterday afternoon and into this morning. The windshield still is pretty good after Cerama-Bryte. Water rolled off whether I was moving or parked. Will do the rest of the truck with Amaz after the rain (next 2 days) stops.

Don't like water spots on all that F150 glass, from inside or out. Hope that helps someone.

Mr Clean Magic Erasers have always worked for water spots on my glass and chrome.

Works well at taking stains off of mudflaps, too.

If they are bad, I just buff them off with a little Meg's 105 and a 3" pneumatic DA.
