I bought this stuff from an IG ad a year ago. Unlike a lot of products, it does what it claims. Always wondered how it'd work on a buffer. Thanks for trying that method!
Highly recommend this product and thanks for this. For 3 years I’ve tried with two previous products to remove hard water spots. I’ve used about every possible technique also found on UA-cam to remove them. After watching your channel I immediately searched Amazon and purchased this product. I think I paid around $30.00 for a bottle. It removed all water spots the first time. Unbelievable! I was almost to the point of replacing the back window it was so bad. It comes with a pad and yes use circular motion. You’re correct in saying that you can feel the glass becomes smoother. It’s one amazing product. Thanks once again for posting 😊
I now live in Florida and have it worse than what you had here. It is because they use different water for the lawn care than what is drinking water, my truck sat and got covered for 4 days while out of town I had the lawn replaced recently so two waterings a day cover. I am going to try this. Thanks
i work at a steel plant and the water spots are ungodly. Nothing works on them, vinegar, CLR, walmart stuff, but that Sudfactory stuff works!! it's the best spot remover ever (on glass anyway, haven't tried any of their other products).
Does it get the ring out? Most water spot removers removes the minerals inside the ring. Then you have to polish the scar of the water spot remover if that even works.
This stuff really does work great. I brought a 1995 Chevy C1500 Truck a couple years ago and tried this stuff on the mirror and windows. It really does work. I put a buffing pad on a drill and it works great without wearing out my shoulders. I highly recommend this. Depending on how heavy the water spots are, you may have to do it twice. But definitely works.
i just moved to FL from RI and started seeing this. I was starting to think it was in the interior side because it would go if i scrubbed it with my finger or nail. And i've these water spots after only 4 months of being in Pensacola. Thank you for the video.
And.....I've gone to the website, and they have changed the labeling. What you used is not exactly there now, but instead I guess they have renamed it "Spotless X2 Glass Waterspot Killer", still sold as "Remover". I have some really bad spots on the windows of my '70 Chevelle SS, so I'm going to buy this and see how it does. May take me a while to get back to you, but I'll let you know how it turns out! Thanks for pushing me over the edge!
The problem with buffing the waterspots out of the paint is your just driving the minerals deeper into the paint so the waterspots go away only to come back up and reappear later. Best to use a good water spot remover for the paint before you buff it. It breaks down the waterspot causing minerals then clean it off then you can buff the paint. DIY Detail has a simple spray for waterspots on paint. That way you can just spray, wipe and rinse and then buff with less elbow grease. That window waterspot remover looks legit though 👍🏼
I’ve tried the chemical guys water spot remover and it works amazing. I would definitely recommend that and I don’t really like chemical guys that much. Cause there alright
nice product .in my shop I use 2000 sandpaper to clear such nasty water spots off and then polish after but I think what you used here is much easier and faster
I live in Florida. We have very hard water going to our homes. That being said, our sprinklers leave exactly what you have going on. My wife’s Escalade has been professionally ceramic coated and even that is hard to get the hard water stains removed.
found this video because i have a 97 extended cab GMC i just picked up and has really bad water stain like this. I am down here in florida and the thing that does most of the damage is not really the rain its the yard sprinklers. Tons of iron in the waterand will even stain white cars and make them look rusty oi they are parked next to a sprinkler every day. Definetly going to give this a try though!
Nice video Travis on the pain in the ass acid rain spots... That product worked pretty good.. I used 00grade steel wool on acid rain windows and it took little bit of it out but not completely.. I had to use my DeWalt buffer with heavy compound and a foam purple waffle pad.. and it comes out nicely.....
@@TWAMotorsports 3m purple compound with a purple waffle pad with a medium speed on a high speed buffer machine takes out the acid rain.. however depending on how long the acid rain has been sitting on the windows than product may vary.. the Florida salt water and acid rain in comb is a disaster...the acid rain will put up a fight with a buffer wheel....
While working at a large dealership detail shop one summer, we used diluted muriatic acid on the glass and it worked beautifully. Using such a chemical is dangerous but you can mitigate those risks. PPE is necessary and keep a neutralizing agent nearby in case of skin contact etcetera. It was diluted enough to not melt your skin but it would start burning enough to feel it after a few seconds. Skin contact was no major problem and we had plenty of time to address any direct contact. Mostly we just hit the area of contact with high pressure water after spraying that specific window (rarely on forearm just above glove line). Hot desert climate so, of course, I'm in shorts and short sleeve t-shirt.
Wow I'm definitely going to be getting that stuff, great job, thanks for sharing Travis! Also can you repost the link to the polisher, it had the same link as the glass cleaner Appreciate all you do Travis
Ive used Magic Erasers on water spots with distilled water to rinse out the eraser as im cleaning, finish cleaning with a microfiber towel. Works great in my area.
griots headquarters is like 3 miles from here, i went to their monthly car show last weekend, some legit rides there for sure! cool to see you give them a shoutout and using their gear. I need a polisher but I just don't know where to start bc I feel like it'll just be a drop in the bucket of supplies I need to actually correct and polish my older cars. I'll go and give them a shout I'm sure they can help me figure it out.
Well I don't have a buffer so this does not help me can we do it without the buffer so I can get these water spots off my husband's truck window please...
@@TWAMotorsports no kidding. I remember when I bought my Trans am back in middle of 2008. GOOD LORD! That back hach glass. 🤬🤬🤬🤬. Now is that product you used on the glass also like a 2in1. Cleaner and sealer? You know how sometimes that go's. If you don't use a sealant on, after buffing.
When it comes to hard water restoration, I've been in the game for over a decade so I know my stuff. I'm not boasting here but just want to set the scene so that you realize what I can bring to the table. As soon as I heard about this new product everyone was talking about, my curiosity got the better of me and of course I just had to investigate it closer. It became clear pretty quickly though, that while this product might have its uses, on glass surfaces it can leave a nasty micro-scratch effect - like a web of scratches sitting over the top. A quick check in natural sunlight will be enough to convince anybody that this isn't a suitable treatment for something as delicate as glass.
I was looking for someone to comment about that! I'm a professional auto detailer and I've tried out numerus products... all of them will leave very fine micro holograms especially when looking in direct sun with windows being tinted. Its very annoying can make some un happy customers with high end cars that are meticulous about their cars. Every car manufacture, Glass reacts different some i clay bar then just buff with a compound and some i use glass cleaner and 0000 steel wool. liquid acid is also great but avoid direct sun light
Thank you so much! I just saw an ad with that product and wanted to do some research. After finishing on the glass, i do see some haziness, was it left over of material or did it come out after a proper wipe? Have you tried car pro ceriglass?
The Pink Stuff i got from Walmart the paste cleaned my shower door to brand new in 5 mins skeptical about using on my truck windows with major water spots did my driver side window with terry cloth worked amazing 3 mins
@@americanman911 You right I meant to say #0000. When I worked in autobody we had alot of vehicles come in with major water spots my onwer hired a outside guy to polish glass that steel wool wouldn't touch he would spend most the day on one vehicle but looked brand new after
My OBS has terrible water spots like this. GA truck. Windows tinted really dark like this truck and it's unsightly. I tried steel wool and it didn't do much if anything. Have to try this.
I did a ton ton ton of scrubbing with no result and finaly i actually damaged my glass it got hazy on the small test area. You are right the glass cream is abbrasive and would probably cut right through the clear coat i would not try it. I also tried the paint spot remover and am dissapointed. too much work for little results and afraid i would damage my paint like i did the glass. I dont know i will try again with more patience.
@@TWAMotorsportsi had deep water spots on my black car. Did no damage letting it sit just a little bit. The glass water spot remover did nothing until I put tons of pressure on it. Not an easy job
Hi, since I was watching this video about getting car glass cleaned of water spots it gave me an inspiration and of which I have no idea if any car detailer ever thought of using. I grabbed the bottle from my bathroom and tested it on my car windows. Voila! the hard water spots were gone! What is this mysterious invention? Tilex. It was awesome for cleaning the outside of the windows.
You ever notice how after removing the product the window becomes really grippy and little microfibers stick all over the window? Guess I have to re apply a protectant of some sort after using the product.
nice. i had some good results from a company called pro tec pretty much able to wipe away light spots. they also had a nice interior cleaner, marketed for boats, little kit they had was 40$ at the time.
I was kinda hesitating on ordering this product but after watching your video I’m definitely going to order it now they have a bundle glass and paint plus ceramic coating for $79 so I’ll be ordering that great video though
I like to use #0000 steel wool. Called four ought steel wool. It is super fine and you'd think there is no way it would work. But it works really well.
Watched the whole video, Looks to be a good product. But I've been using Meguiar's Heavy Duty Oxidation Remover for water spot and that works with effortless rubbing with microfiber towel and a little rubbing. I used it alot on customers vehicle throughout the years. Full Time Mechanic 15 years +
Just never use that without gloves, I know one guy who used it and that stuff got under his finger nails and he went to the ER because of pain and that stuff slowly kept getting deeper and deeper to the point were his finger nail fell off
I don’t know why anyone spends money on any kind of water spot remover, I just use 0000 super fine steel wool pads to polish the glass, hasn’t failed yet.
