Stay off of the vinyl.

I don't think it'll 'remove' ink but, you may scuff it. Vinyl isn't nearly as forgiving as the clear.

Good thought... very good question.

Guys, had to try out the clay on the water spots. Clayed a portion of the hood and - I was blown away with the results! The clay removed the spots and left a shine outtathisworld! Tried the windows, but the clay wasn't as great. Removed some, but remnants were still visible. Figured the clay is just for the paint. I'll try some other suggestions given for the windows. If you guys have anymore ideas for the glass, please let me know. Thanks to all who helped!

Have you tried just plain Windex for the water spots on the windows...?

Yeah, tried Windex. The spots are too tough. Think of purchasing the KaBoom cleanser. Any problems to look out for with the factory tinted windows? Will the KaBoom ruin them?

You're fine with it on the FACTORY tinted windows. I wouldn't try it on any aftermarket tint...

DO NOT GET IT ON THE PAINT...

Easy-Off BAM is actually better than Kaboom.... again, DO NOT GET IT ON THE PAINT OR TRIM!

So long as you only use it on the outside, you should be safe with any of the glass cleaners regardless of factory or aftermarket tint......so long as it doesn't get on your paint or trim.

Find yourself some of that Nu-Glass that I was talking about and you won't have to worry about the paint. (just use that on the exterior only as well if you have aftermarket tint).

NuGlass, huh? Sounds safe, but I haven't seen that stuff anywhere. (Only on the net.) Can I purchase it at a local retailer? Rather use that. :o

I picked it up at a local truck accessory shop.

I haven't seen it in a chain store although it sounds like Pepboys may have more in the way of detailing than most. The closest one of those is 45 miles from me so I'm not sure about them.

Edit: Check one of these if you have one close. I haven't checked my local CarQuest or NAPA for it. http://www.duragloss.com/duragloss-stores.asp

I ordered some Dura-Gloss NuGlass from Amazon yesterday. I can't find the stuff anywhere else! Can't wait to try it on my windows. I'll let everyone know how it turns out. Should be in by the weekend. It was $6.49 for an 8oz. bottle and, of course, shipping was $7.00! Figured it may be worth it.
