Hey guys, just trying to sort out the little things that annoy me and my main one is oxidation on the windows that give it a bubbly look. Its only on the surface and just wondering if anyone else had this problem and how'd they fix it. Just need to know if it has to be done professionally or is there some sort of abrasive cleaner that will clean it off.
Much appreciated if anyone has any ideas. |

Not sure what you mean Mark, but generally anything can be cleaned off a window with a razor blade :-)

Haha yeh have tried that but didn't work unfortunately. Also tried cleaners like windex but that doesn't work either, might have to have hit and miss with other cleaners. I'll try and take photos of what it looks like but don't think it'll show up too well. Its just one of those annoying things u could live with but because I want everything perfect on this car it is annoying me knowing that its there.

Try a clay bar which lifts blemishes off paint. I've used one on glass with no probs before.

Yeh i'll give that a try, looks as tho it needs a cutting compound of some sort on there to remove a layer, closest thing I can put it as is prob water spotting.

i think those marks are caused by acid rain in japan, which is common there... i've heard that ppl use steel wool to slightly rub on it to clean it off... but i wouldnt try it...

I'd be careful with cutting compounds cause it may scratch the glass. You can get different grade clay bars and as long as you use enough lubrications (soapy water) you should be fine.

Hi Mark,
If you are refering to those water marks then I have the same issue on both my 35s. Pisses me off to no end! Most visible under bright sunlight. I've tried a few different polishes, turps, metho etc...nothing has worked so far. Someone on the forum has recommended Meguiars Diamond Cut. Haven't got around buying it yet to try. If you find a solution let me know. Cheers. -------------------- |

Back on subject, I would suggest that you get the opinion from a Car Windscreen installer, there are some lightly abrahesive 'chemical based cleaners out there and they can buff the window too...
That should lift most blemishes. -------------------- If in Doubt, Go Flat Out

Try AutoGlym Car Glass Polish http://www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/...ar_glass_polish I used it on my Lexus IS250 windows when I saw it had like dried water droplets etched on the windows... worked wonders. |
