Need help removing acid rain/hard water spots on side windows? I have had this problem for over 2 years and no one can figure out how to clean these spots off. They look like hard water spots and a local glass shop told me it looked like acid rain spots. I have tried everything to clean it and can't get them to come clean. Does anyone know what to use to clean it off the glass?

PM or e-mail smokin' joe 00 ss and ask him what he used, I can't remember what Joe used but he had the worse case of hard water staining on his windshield I'd ever seen.

FORGET STEEL WOOL! i posted this a while back on LS1.com, but it bears repeating.
1)go to grocery store and buy 'Bar Keepers Friend'. it's with all the other cleansers.
2)wet car as normal before u begin to wash. sprinkle it onto a damp cloth and rub ur windows.
3)wash car as normal except wash and rinse ur windows twice.
4)dry car and enjoy crystal-clear windows. (for extra insurance, buff with DRY newspaper.)
i think i'll post a more detailed write up in the 'how-to' section. enjoy for now.

There is a company in Hawaii called Pacific Professional Products that makes a water spot remover. I forgot the name of it but if you call them they will know what you are talking about. A friend of mine has some and told me to try it on my spots as also. I was in the same situation of not being able to remove them. This stuff is awsome. If nothing else it's worth giving them a call and asking for one of their catalogs to see what all they have. (808) 847-5933. If you do decide to use their spot remover wear rubber gloves.

Zaino is expensive and a special order, which means it's gonna take a while for it to get to ur door. u can buy Bar Keepers Friend right now at ur local grocery store for cheaper. Zaino requires very hard rubbing while BKF does not. believe me, i love Zaino, but this stuff cannot be beat. i know from experience. as soon as someone tries this, i'm sure they'll post up their happy results.
