Rubbing compound for glass - Does it exist? HELP
Rubbing compound for glass - Does it exist? HELP
My car has had what looks like water marks on all the windows since I bought it, and I have been unable to remove them. These aren't your ordinary water spots.
Anyway, I tried a small area a while back with some kind of rubbing compound, and after putting in A LOT of elbow grease, it worked. It was a lot of work for about a square inch.
SO...
I am going to buy a buffer and try to do all the windows. I forgot what it was that I tried the small test sport on, so I need a compound that is going to be safe to use on the windows. Any suggestions?!?
Thanks alot,
Matt

Most likely the spots are not water spots, but chemical spots that burned into the window from someone using a strong window cleaner in the sun and not getting all of it off the window. Usually these spots can not be removed. Glass compund does exist for use with glass polishing clothes, but i dont think make it for use on winsheilds.
Well KevinSS, if Zaino Z-12 will work...
how much is it?
and
how do I use it?
Also, do I get a refund if it doesn't work... jk
Seriously, do you have a website or do I order directly from you?
Thanks,
Matt
* EDIT *
I noticed that it comes in an eight ounce size, do you think that will be enough? I will have have to do my entire rear window, my two door windows, one t-top (I replaced one), and parts of the front windshield not touched by the wipers?

I agree with Kevin, the Z12 should do the trick for you with no problems. It just needs to be worked into the glass very thoroughly. To remove any leftover residue use a damp towel or wash with Z7.....
If by some remote chance the Z12 does not do it, the Eastwood company sells a glass compound that's much more abrasive....

If you don't feel like waiting around for mail delivery for the Zaino, you can try and locate a glass place in town and look for some stuff called "Sparkle" It is made by the C.R. Laurence Co. Cost me $10. Best stuff I have ever used on my windows. Backed with Rain-X, I don't run into water spots being a problem anymore.
