A friend of mine recommended acetone too. What do you think?
Id start with 70% isopropyl rubbing then work up to 90% the acetone.
- water + auto glass cleaner
Hi Folks,
New to this forum and to Honda, picked up my 2019 Civic Hatchback a couple months ago. Couldn't be happier, that car rips!
That said here is my issue, I've noticed some windshield marks that cannot be removed. Only shows when the windshield is wet. Very annoying and unsafe when I drive at night and it is raining.
See attached some photos taken today after trying to clean my windshield.
I'm not too sure how to call this. Any idea of what it is and how I can could remove those?
Interesting! I’m gonna try with rubbing alcohol first and then take it back to the dealership
Was gonna go get one later today and try tomorrow. If that doesn’t work I’ll take it to the dealership, haven’t had time yet!
Don't use a claybar, get the sponge version. I know it sounds counter intuituive but after that, wax the windshield, it fills in the micro divots and scratches.
Thanks for the tip. I’ll see what I can find
ooooh that does seem a little more involved process wise, also I don’t have a buffer thingy.
So I tried some of the other methods originally using different chemicals and elbow grease. I even found products online that said that they would remove the water spots from glass and all those different products cost me between 50 and $100 and required a lot more muscle on the glass. And they never even came close to working like the buffer did. Harbor Freight always has the 20% coupon so the buffer only comes out to about 50 bucks and then rubbing compound is only about another $7. So what I'm getting at is that the buffer is so much more effortless and then I've been able to use it over and over again. The wool pad is washable. But if you want to try the clay bar method it's always worth a try. I just find that the heat generated through the buffer and the rubbing compound gets those watermarks right out.
Thanks man! It does sound good. I’ll have to find one of those, I’m in Canada so I don’t have Harbor Freight. I’m sure I could find one of those tools for cheap here tooSo I tried some of the other methods originally using different chemicals and elbow grease.
