Let me begin first by saying that i used every method ranging from vinegar to fine grade steel wool. Man nothing worked, i got this information online but these people must have had some weak water spots, nothing major like mine. I can live without them to be honest, but i was hoping my knowledgeable fellow ag members can chime in on this situation. Did anything work for anybody or am i just wasting my time? Thank you!

I would look into Car Pro CeriGlass. I have used it successfully to remove water spots and even light scratches using my Porter Cable 7424 XP with a glass polishing pad. You can do this by hand, but it will take a lot of elbow grease and even more time.
Here is a 50/50 shot of what I accomplished with CeriGlass.

Im starting to think you dont have WATER spots. Geesh if the steel wool didnt take care of them.

:iagree:
Is the defroster OEM? Is there a tint film on the back window? I've seen cases where the film bubbles or starts to let go due to heat or irregular surface of the defroster.

I used duragloss nuglass with awesome results. For 8 bucks it's a great deal.

:iagree: I always use DG nuglass. If fact, i just used it on some water spots today on a truck's back window. I used it on my PC7424 on a yellow cutting pad. if they are really bad, i use the glass pads. has always worked for me. By hand did work on these spots, via machine is a must.
i need to try it with the rotary, i bet it would remove them a lot quicker.
good luck

It really is a great product. What speed did you use it on? I used speed 5 on the pc with just an orange pad. Glass looks brand new afterwards!
I heard a rotary can warp the glass if it gets too hot.

With foam i use speed 6 with ths PC. With the glass cutting pad i use speed 5.
With the rotary i would treat the glass like paint as far as the heat issue is concerned.

Do you have an issue with it drying out? I found out that spritzing the glass with a squirt of water before I polish works great.

With the glass pads it seems to dry out quickly. With using the foam pad today i split the back glass in half and i placed 5 dime sized amount of nuglass on the pad. I was able to use speed 6 going 4-5 section passes without it drying out. It was easy to remove at that point as well since i worked it in so well.

I use metalwax water spot remover, you can google the company or watch their YouTube videos. It breaks down the spots completely with light scrubbing and a little patience.

Ever since I bought the car, it had water spots embedded in the glass. Not regular water spots, I heard dp made a product for the glass I read good reviews on it but not sure still
