So on my old truck, with really dark tint, the water spots on the windows were horrible. I work at a detailing center so I have a lot of info on detailing vehicles, products etc.

If you want to get rid of water spots on your windows, go to Wal*Mart and look for a brown bottle with the name "Rust Stain Remover." When you take the cap off, it'll have 1 hole where it squirts out.

Just go to your windows and apply it onto a cloth and wipe in the area where the water spots are, BUT do not use it where windshield wipers move or anything that slides across the glass and do not use it on the side mirrors either.

If you want to remove the water spots on the side view mirrors, I use a product called Colonial Brassy. Not sure where you can get if from, but we get it from Auto Magic and it runs about $20 (our cost) per bottle. However, it works AMAZING on a lot of areas, especially chrome or anything of that nature.

Thats pretty neat. My buddy uses 3m rubbing compound and an SOS pad (like from a grocery store). He tells everyone at my work to use it and everyone thinks it will scratch the window but somehow it does not. One guy came back and said it took them right off and that the spots had been there for 4 years and he had used everything he could think of including gasoline haha.

We just got this Colonial Brassy about 7 months ago and I had water spots on my side mirrors for literally 6 years since I had it. I took all of 2 min to do both sides and they were flawless afterwards. When I got my car, the intake tube looked trashed with water spots and junk. I took some CB to it and it was no joke, like brand new.

I probably would of tried that with my truck, but not with my car. I'm quite 'anal' with my car compared to the truck.

Well my eyes are fine and ive seen the window he did it in person and it looked perfectly fine. I didn't think it would look good either.... I know very light pressure was key.
