I have the same issue with my hatchy, and I've already tried vinegar, Lime-Away, and even Mothers Mag-n-Wheel polish. I'll be giving the Dirtex trick a try. Thanks for the tip!

Where does one score some Invisible Glass, anyway? I'll try anything once. Especially since I inherited the same problem when we bought my wife's '01 Grand Prix GT.

Nice hatchy, BTW. Looks like mine - only much nicer.

they actually make a hard water spot remover. it's about $20 a bottle, but it'll last you a while. call you're local glass shop and ask them if they carry it.

another cheap thing to try is one of the "mr. clean magic eraser's". those things work wonders on windows.

clay should put a good dent in it too


after you do get all the water spots off be sure and coat your windows with rain-x. and then be sure and wipe them dry after you wash the car to keep them from coming back

shouldn't be. you should only have to clean it really good a few times a year. all the rest of the time it should go pretty smooth and quick

The glass shop is my next step. In fact, it's about the only thing left. I'm not entirely sure, but I believe the glass is etched with the hard water 'spots'. I'm pretty sure rubbing clay on glass won't do much either - sorry, but if Mother's Mag & Wheel Polish does nothing...

Today I tried: Invisible Glass, Dirtex, Eagle One wheel cleaner, and Easy-Off 'BAM!' Oven Cleaner (says it removes lime & rust too).

Nada.

Glass shop it is.

i didnt know it was possible for invisible glass not to work... try doing it in the garage where the windows wont be hot that usually works for me.
