    Default Windows

    Does anyone know how to get a coating of hard waterspotty looking stuff off of the exterior side windows? I tried using invisible glass, which got the dirt of but not what looks like mineral buildup. Oh, and by the way i made a cardomain site. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2106576

    if its water spots from tap water you can use some "lime away" or any calcium remover. calcium can be removed harmlessly with muratic acid, just use a cotton swab dipped in the acid and it will remove it just be careful not to let any spill on your paint, it shouldnt harm it but better be safe than sorry. remember use the acid only if its calcium build up you have

    Nice looking car. Love that color, but unless it is European spec, it only came with 208 hp. As far as the glass, I would try the clay bar also.

    Default Bon-ami

    I have had good luck with Bom-ami cleanser. I think BMW even recomends it.

    You will want to use the original powder formula that has Feldspar as the abrasive, as it is softer than glass and will not scratch.
    I make a slurry of it with water and put it on a nylon scouring pad.

    Do it before your going to wash your car though, as it can be messy.

    A real good regular glass cleaner (plus most anything else) is a couple ounces of amonia and white vinegar to a gallon of distilled water. Then just add to spray bottle. And using newspaper to wipe and polish the glass. Works great and it's cheap .

    I will try this first, there is some in the kitchen. Although it may be ceramic or some other such thing.

    Took the words right out of my fingers. BonAmi works well for this problem and won't hurt anything as long as you wash it off thoroughly.
