This is a follow up to my previous thread https://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101-a/129401-removing-glass-hard-water-staining.html
In brief, I used Ceriglass with steel wool to remove hard water water staining and etching on a car's windows. It was the only technique that worked after trying all the conventional remedies. But it left the glass hazy with micro-scratching.
I'd ordered some Migliore Vista in the hopes that a ceramic glass coating would hide the scratching. It wasn't advertised for that, but the reviews were good, and I hoped it would work like Cerakote ceramic headlight coating: you wipe it on and it turns the hazy scratched surface bright and clear again.
Migliore Vista exceeded my expectations. Not only did hide the scratching, it put a nice gloss finish on glass that was previously looking dull. Whereas before you could see the haziness and scratching easily under the lights, now you have to be at just the right angle in just the right light to see it.
I'm not going to win any awards at shows for best glass, but I'm very impressed with this product, which gave me a 80-85% correction. It certainly beats having to do the laborious polishing job it otherwise would have taken. I'm happy to apply this stuff once a year to keep my glass glossy.
It's not cheap at $55 a bottle, but well worth it. Half a bottle did all the windows on a Pontiac G8 which has a lot of glass area.
