Default cleaning glass

well I found a trick to get rid of the obnoxious hard water deposits staining the windows.............a metal polish I used to use on the aluminum motorhome wheels.

BUT -- there are little dots of what appears to be white paint from when the dealer wrote some stupid message there on. Its not responding to the metal polish, paint remover or nail polish remover. I don't have the guts to try the 0000 steel wool.

Any ideas??????????????????

Vinegar, wiped off withnewspaper works good to clean glass and dissolves many things. It's cheap, and does not leave any streaks.

I use a product used in the Yachting Industry for decades. Wink ! No, really. Wink is a Rust Stain Remover for clothes. You can find it many Supermarkets. A small brown plastic bottle. It is basically Phosphoric Acid. Wear gloves, put some on a rag and wipe on a small area and wipe off. DO NOT let it sit. If left on it will etch your glass. Once you wipe it off you will see all the deposits are gone. Spray on Windex for the shine, which will also neutralize any acid particles left on the glass. If it works in the harsh environments of the Sea it will work wherever you care to go. I use it on the shower doors at home.

To get rid of water spots on glass use BON AMI (Do not use on painted surfaces) and a damp sponge. After you clean your glass I then use RainX or Rain Clear Glass Repellent .

A 96 cent can of BON AMI does the same as the Zaino at13 bucks. I've used it for years.
Blackfire is my choice for wax.

with all due respect, ive been detailing cars for years and all i can say is that zaino by itself is overpriced and not that great... theyre products do however work AMAZING when you you get creative and start mixing them with different things for some reason...
