    I like...clean...windows I cannot lie...!!!

    I have been wanting to tackle the severely water spotted windows on my family mini-van for quite a while now. They have been there since we bought the car I finally got started this week and was able to put my new water spot remover to the test.

    Products used:

    • Chemical Guys Water Spot remover
    • MF applicator pad
    • MF towels


    Process:

    1. Apply a couple lines of product to the MF pad and spread in a small 12"x12" area or so.
    2. Rubbed the product in thoroughly with a little bit of pressure and rinsed with water while rubbing with my rubber gloves.
    3. Wiped dry with MF towels.
    4. Repeated for each section and spot cleaned areas that did not come off completely on first attempt (usually around the window edges).


    Here is a 50/50 shot of where you can see the bad spotting compared to a single treatment of the water spot remover. Came out better than expected!


    Another angle:


    The completed window, next to the rear window, which was yet to be cleaned:


    Nothing overly exciting but I was happy with the results and thought I would share I did a detail on the car as well that included a wash, clay, sealant, and headlight restoration. The few pictures I took can be found below:

    As always I am open to critique, adjustments to technique and/or products, etc. Thanks!

    Not long. I rubbed the product in for about 3 minutes per section, with the MF pad, then immediately sprayed it down with water while rubbing with my gloves.

    Thanks for all the other comments, really happy with the results! I thought for sure I would not be able to get those nasty spots off
