Water Spots - Toyota Yaris Forums

RogueYaris · 09-28-2007, 03:29 AM

I have water spots on my windows. They don't come off with normal washing and using a squegee (sp?) at the gas station doesn't do anything. What's a good product out there that can clear up my glass?

so what? spray on, wipe off and smoke a bowl?

RogueYaris · 09-28-2007, 03:46 AM

and you got the invisible glass stuff or something else?

Kaotic Lazagna · 09-28-2007, 04:22 AM

oops, sorry for being vague...yes, i bought the Invisible Glass. i got it at Wal-Mart. yes, spray it on, and wipe off. i kinda treated it like wax. heh.

Mix vinigear / water spray on windshield and wipe with a newspaper works great.

+1

White vinegar + water + newspaper = the best glass cleaner. ever.

RogueYaris · 09-29-2007, 03:33 AM

i don't mind the idea of a vinegar/water mix but will it take off water spots? hell, i should just do it and see if it works, plenty of newspaper and vinegar here. just don't like wasting time.

ricky2k1 · 09-29-2007, 01:38 PM

try some fine steel wool

PetersRedYaris · 10-19-2008, 02:29 AM

0000 steel wool and some Raix-X will do wonders...

Just don't ever put vinegar in the winshield washer container. If you use it, the vinegar smell will be sucked into the car and make you gag.

Yes, I was a dumbass in my younger years.

Vinegar in the windshield washer container?! I could top that.. with some 151!! Mwahahaha!

Hey guys!

Im new here and I just got a Yaris, I also have water spots on my windows and mirrors.... I tried armor all glass wipes and nothing worked..... I took it to a car wash and they left a pritty clean interior and exterior, BUT THE SPOTS DIDNT COME OFF!

they said that I have to Polish them.... Is that true?... Ive seen cars in sale lots that have that and two people said that already.... Im just afraid that "polishing" tha windows and mirros wont mess them up.

PS: this is the armor all whipes I used... dont WORK AT ALL!!!! WTF ARMOR ALL!!! everything of this brand used to work LOL

conurebuddy · 03-26-2009, 09:19 PM

yeah, those armor all glass wipes suck. dont waste your money, they just streak up your glass. i still love their regular stuff though.

supmet · 03-26-2009, 11:22 PM

People who think vinegar is good for water spots haven't seen hard water spots.

I've tried about 12 glass cleaners, vinegar, wd40, awesome orange, purple power, alcohol - nothing works.

Fine steel wool is my next step, then spot-x or CLR, then I'm getting new windows...

Those Armor All wipes are THE WORST!!!! I got a package with tire cleaner, wheel cleaner, glass wipes, etc. Well I'm glad I didn't just purchase the glass wipes because I would be disgusted. Streaks all over, even wiping til the wipe is dry.

Syroyizhka · 04-06-2009, 03:12 PM

Those do blow! i bought a 3 pack of those, for 9 bucks, all they promise that they won't dry out, HOW ABOUT PROMISE TO ACTUALLY WORK? i actually wanted to get something descent for once, and i got $h!t..
