Hoping to fix my mistake!
I bought some "water spot remover" from an ad on Facebook a while back. At first I was excited because the water spots did come out! However, my application method yielded some holograms on all of my windows. I used a hand-held rotary polisher with a foam pad. You can see the defects in this picture (the truck is very dirty in this picture).

Luckily, I can still safely drive the truck and the holograms are only visible when the light hits them just right. I have purchased Carpro Ceriglass and some rayon pads to attempt to get rid of the holograms. When you look close, it is basically tiny micro-scratches left in the glass either from the polish or the residue. I hope to get some after shots this weekend if time allows.

Re: Hoping to fix my mistake!
I couldn't quite get the angle to see if the holograms on my truck are gone but I was able to get a shot of the water spots on my wife's car.

You can see where the spots stop at the top of the glass. I didn't want to get too close to the edge at first. This didn't take much time at all with my little hand held rotary polisher from Harbor Freight. I have a 3" backing plate on it and the LC rayon pad fit right on.
I did polish my truck windows but like I said before, sometimes the angles just aren't right for capturing the defects. Or maybe the defects are just gone!

Re: Hoping to fix my mistake!
Whelp, the holograms are definitely being caused my the rotary polisher. They don't seem to be as prominent this time around though. I will try again with a DA. It might just be a side effect of trying to polish glass???
