I bought my Jetta two years ago. It was washed maybe once a month and rarely waxed, but it was garage kept and taken care of. When I got it, I did a good restored job on the paint and it was flawless.
However, it had bad water spots on the windows. I rubbed and I rubbed with glass cleaner, but nothing worked. Then, I stumbled upon a site that said fine steel wool and vinager would remove bad water spots, but not the etching. So, I took steel wool and vinigar and went to town with some hope. It definitely cleared the windows up some and took some of the more recent spots away.
Fast foreward to today. I am absolutely tired of my whole car being completey clean, but having water spotted windows. I recently got a PC 7424 for Christams. I thought, what the heck, so, I took the pad that came with it and some Megs Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner and tried it out on one of the windows. Well, I didn't run it very long because I didn't know what the pad and the paint cleaner would do to the window. However, I did notice that it started clearing up some of the spots. So, I think there might be some hope.
So, I am here today to ask which glass polish or any polish do you reccommend to get rid of the water spot etchings? And which LC pad should I use in conjunction with the polish? What PC speed?
Here are some pics of the damage... (sorry, the car is dirty. It is winter and I am building a house)
Notice the etchings at the arrows and the lower right...
(That is not a scratch in the middle...)
Here is what she looks like when clean...
Please help me. I don't have the money to replace the windows.
