Windows and Engine
My '08 sedan has really bad water spots on the windows and won't go away. I have tried Stoner's Invisible Glass & Windex, but they don't do anything. Is there anything that I could use to remove them effectively and how can I prevent it from happening again?
Also how do you guys clean the engine bay? Mine is very dusty from my dirt road... should I just spray it with a pressure washer and is there anything I have to worry about when spraying it? Thanks |

Sounds like you need a glass polish. Look around there are several brands.
I don't think pressure washers are good for the engine bay. You need to be careful of the electrics and air intake. |

One of the best and cheapest ways I've found to remove water spots from glass ( do not use this on painted surfaces ) is to use Bar Keepers Friend, it's a kitchen cleanser. I mist down the glass with water then use a small amount of BKF on a damp rag, work the spotted area making sure the rag doesn't get too dry ( not too wet either ). Once you're done wipe with a clean rag, I think you'll be happy with the results. BTW, this is the product I'm talking about http://www.surlatable.com/product/id...:referralID=NA Last edited by DARK AGE 53; 01-07-2010 at 03:56 PM. |
