I recently got a second hand car, everything is OK but its hard to drive at night because of the crystalized rainwater on my windshield. i think the rainwater crystalized because the car was not maintained carefully. I need help i've tried everything, i even tried putting vinegar to try to remove the it.

Vinegar and water is the easiest way to remove water spots,just use a cloth to rub the vin.& water on windshield and its done!!!

Have you tried using a buffer? Honest put some flitz on a low speed buffer and away you will go. I have seen it done on head lamps, it worked there. Also, I would try a razor knife. A little tedious but, it will work. One more thing, If you live in the southwest it might not be hard water spots. It could be pitted from sand which you would be better off just replacing the windshield.

Try using toothpaste on a rag and cleaning the windshield. The toothpaste will cut through the galze but not hurt the glass.

they are pits from hard water and a good coat of wax and a buffer will hide them use clear wax not colored as in see thru like candle wax or parifin just rub it over the whole window and wipe off and then buff or about 6 coats of rain x will also work

1. DON'T WAX YOUR WINDSHEILD
2. DON'T USE STEEL WOOL!!!!!! IT DOES SCRATCH.
3.TRY GOING TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE AND LOOK FOR A TYPE OF CLAY THAT REMOVES HARD WATER STAINS AND SPOTS.
4. ASK A CAR DEALERSHIP WHAT TO USE
5. IF ALL ELSE FAILS..BUY A NEW WINDSHEILD..WINDSHEILD GLASS IS MADE UP OF MICROSCOPIC (CELLS)??..FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD....AND THE WATER MAY HAVE PERMANATELY DAMAGED THE "CELLS"
GOOD LUCK

Use a 50/50 mix of plain ammonia (not sudsy) and distilled water. It is the best glass cleaner.

We use regular steel wool in the body shop to remove almost anything that gets on glass.No,it won't hurt anything.

Use Bon-Ami,it has just enough abrasive in it to clean damaged glass.Cheap and works real good,trust me.
