Guest thesubarukid Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Okay, I don't know if thats what you cal them, but I don't know what else to call them, so anyway... on all of my windows and my outside mirrors, there are little "Stains" of where you can tell water has been dried up. The car grew up in yakima, and I think it sat for a while, casuing this and a few other problems... I've windexed the heck out of them. It doesnt work. I don't know where they came from or what to use on them... Anybody now what I could use to take care of this, it's not noticable at a distance, but you can really tell inside the car. It bugs me while I'm driving, especially the mirrors. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Turbone Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 I heard once an a Auto Show that using a cleanser called Bon Ami (like Comet, but much finer), would take the spots off. I even bought a can of it, but never had a chance to use it yet:rolleyes: Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tolerance02 Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Seems to me that there has done pistol painting near the wet car (like driven out of the rain in to a shop when somebody was doing or just has done some pressed air painting work). Try paint thinner but be carefull not to drop it on the car paint, or get some advice in a car paint shop. The glass will be cloudy after the thinner work so you'll have to use a glass cleaner afterwards. Good luck! Urban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ShawnW Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Above mentioned product Bon Ami or any number of the powdered can soaps people use and keep under their kitchen sink are usually very good at this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tomrhere Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Okay, on the Bon Ami, you can get it at your local grocery, but probally one of the bigger chain stores. It does work!!! Watched the TV show, Shadetree Mechanics use it on a 'Vette. Wasn't to impressed, seeing as I've used it myself, on various cars. Another recipe for cleaning windows was mentioned, but I take it a bit further. Just don't use this in the sun, it dries fast, then you have a bigger mess. Ok, here goes. 2 quarts of as hot as water that you can keep your hands in for a few seconds, (gotta ring out the rag, ya know). Then add 2 cups white vinegar, and 2 drops of Dawn dishsoap. Works wonders cleaning windows. But as I said, don'y use it in sun shine, or on really hot windows. Evaporates quick, and leaves a mess. But boy, does it clean them..........Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
