Gerry Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Had the car a couple of months now and have noticed some sort of "rain mark" on the windows (all). Looks just like it had been left out in the rain and it has dried and left those small 1/4" roundish marks you get. Except: last time I cleaned it I set to getting them off 100%, but no good I tried: Shampoo with sponge. Shampoo with net covered sponge. Glass cleaner with cloth. Glass cleaner with net covered sponge. White spirit on cloth. Kitchen scouring pad (lightly & carefully) Kitchen scouring pad (hard and frienzied) Kitchen scouring pad with all of the above stuff. Nothing - it's still there. Somebody remarked that it may have been caused by "acid rain" being left on it. I do know it was on a Jap forecourt for many months ! It's not a big problem, but now I have set my mind to sorting it it seems to be getting bigger ! Any sugestions ? Cheers G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 does it show up in pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_supra Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 You can Buy T-Cut for glass now. Might be worth giving that a go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Cerium oxide or Jewellers rouge. A glass polish, removes fine scratches too but should get rid of your marks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Autoglym glass cleaner and a good hard rubbing solves it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 Thanks guys... The glass cleaner was Autoglym, but T Cut for glass sounds interesting. Never thought of using rouge although I spent months as a young jeweller polishing stuff with it - awfull stuff when used with a wheel as it gets up your nose, in your ears, everywhere. If the above doesn't work I'll try to get some pics, am sure it will photograph in the right light. Cheers G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaveriK Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Do you get the same marks on the paintwork after you have washed it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 Sort of (depends on what polish is used) but there cover 100% of the glass. I'm sure they are made by the rain, but as you can see above they don't come out. Got lots of ideas now for the weekend... Cheers G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaveriK Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Probably due to hard water, i get the same here, looks like a huge cum shot all over the shop!! On the paintwork a good polish gets it off (Thanks Gav!) and i use standard window cleaner on the windows, not the car stuff either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike M Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 You can Buy T-Cut for glass now. Might be worth giving that a go? Comes in a blue bottle, always works a treat for me leaving the glass silky smooth. I get the marks your on about too and i'm sure it clears them. Been a while since i've noticed them mind you.
