Holy $&@#!

How did we get to half a million views on this insane seven year rant?

If I had a dime for every view I could have paid for a third of the resto cost. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

I guess it's like a train wreck: you just gotta stop and look.

After trying all sorts of stuff to remove the 40 year old waterspots on the back window, and reading the recent thread in the tech section here: https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbt...594#Post462594
I decided to try the SPOT-X water stain remover. I found it on Amazon.com for about $15.



Here's the acid rain waterspots that up til were impervious to everything I tried: clay, rubbing compound, 0000 steel wool, 80 grit on a DA sander...

It was really rather simple. You dampen the white scotchbrite pad and put a couple tablespoons of the powder on the pad. You rub using finger pressure only.

Make sure you don't get the powder on any aluminum trim or painted surfaces, if you do, wash it off, DO NOT TRY TO RUB IT OFF THE PAINT.




Here is the left half after one application. You can already see the shiny-ness, returning

And the final result after about thirty minutes of effort:





The stuff actually works great. After the glass cleaning, I did then have to re-polish the aluminum window trim with a quick application of Simichrome but that was no big deal.

If it looks 1/2 as good in real life as it does in the pics, then that's some impressive stuff.
