Glass Roof & Water Spots

[Briar_Reed]

Hey, does anybody have experience using Invisible Glass "glass stripper" for removing water spots from the glass roof? Or recommend another product that does this well, without damage to the roof or it's coating?

I an in Norcal, and the recent ash from the local fires had been exposed to moisture and spotted my M3. I used Griot's Rinseless Wash & Wax to clean the car, which removed most all the spots from the painted areas, but didn't do as well on the glass roof.

Thanks in advance for any tips!!

Do you have a polisher? I recommend Ceriglass from Carpro. Then apply protection to the glass afterwords.

I use cleaning vinegar (50% vinegar / 50% water) as it breaks down the minerals that are causing the watermarks. Might do the job for you as well. No impact on the paint.

I'm going to guess these are hard water spots, and as suggested above, a 50:50 mix of vinegar and water should do the trick.

I used the acidic spot remover stuff before and although not visible to the naked eye, when the glass is wet, it is very visible where I used the product. In fact that one spot I used it on doesn’t have the florescent shimmering to it anymore when mist is on the glass. I’d recommend using the water and vinegar solution and a razor if needed.

Chemicalguys heavy duty waterspot remover (the orange one) will take off spots vinegar cant. in fact, it will also take off wax/sealant so you can only use it if you rewax/seal the car - otherwise you get weird.... negative spots (i.e. it looks like a big spot but its actually the fact that the surface is so clean that the surrounding seal/dirt etc makes it look like a spot)

Well, based upon in puts, will go the vinegar and water approach. Simple approach is best. Thanks to all for the input.

I been seeing a lot of videos claiming that Meguiars Wheel Brightener removes water spots and is safe for clean coats, BUT IT IS NOT SAFE FOR GLASS! Has anyone used it on their car for water spots?

I had very good luck with Griot's Garage 11108 Window Cleaner.

This takes or removes hard water spots?

If you have hard water spots that are not budging, I suggest glass polish and a random orbital buffer. It can be done by hand but it may take a long time depending how bad they are.
