    The Magic Eraser's unique property is its ability to clean dirt from micro-textured and semi-porous surfaces, such as wall paint and boat seats. I'll try it anyway, but I doubt it will work. What about one of those clay-bar kits? They're $15, I'm a little hesitant...

    I figured it out. GLASS SCRUB. This stuff WORKS. A lot of patient rubbing, and it cuts through. It's gritty like toothpaste. You have to keep it wet with a little water or it will scratch if you rub too hard. The first picture shows a small area with the spots scrubbed away. It takes arms, and patience. The dirver's side window took a half-hour to clean.

    They also make a rain repellent gel, it's like Rain-X without the alcohol, so a little goes a long way. We'll see how well it works next time it rains.

    THANKS to all who replied!

    Hydrocloric acid or Glass De etcher.... put a little on the rag and it will come right off. Do not get any on the paint... because it will destroy it.
    I do this every day... i work for a window cleaning company. Bellieve me, it works.

    Nope, I actually tried a strong Zinc Chlorate & Hydrochloric Acid cocktail, and it didn't even touch it.

    No big deal. AS I stated in the post above, the problem is solved. I wanted to post the photo of the product and its results to help anyone else who stumbled across this thread.



    The Glass Scrub also seems to be a good prep for window decals. it seems to remove anything and everything from glass, from old water spots to oil residue. It leaves the glass laboratory clean.

    Arrow H20 Spots

    I always use a D.A. with a 1/2" back up pad, and 80 grit paper. Works like a charm, spots are gone, and the sun glare is not as intense. Kidding of course.

    I can't seem to find a 1/2 back pad!!!!
    But the 80g by hand is taking the glare out!

    Arrow Back up-pad

    Really isnt a mandatory tool, just cuts down the spots a little better. I am here to tell you, this works AWESOME, just listen to Als progress!! Nothing works quite as well as this.
