Try a little white wine vinegar, if it is lime deposits it will come right
off. Buff clean with newspaper. Works on mine when Windex and ammonia fails.Don't use a scour pad!

I had some extremely tough water spots on my Glass as well. I tried
all of the usual things people recommend, ammonia, vinegar, etc. I was seriously considering paying and getting a new windshield installed. However I called a local glass shop and they recommended a product called Bioclean. It's a light green runny paste that has a gritty feel. The grit concerned me but I felt that because I was going to get a new windshield anyway I might as well try it (for only 10 bucks). I cleaned the windshield normally and then used a cotton terrycloth to apply the bioclean with a fair amount of elbow grease and the spots came off. It was a dramatic difference and even cleaned the side windows up at the top where they were even worse for staining from being rolled up. The shop that recommended the bioclean told me that the mirrors of the car had a different glass and would be scratched by the grit, I did not test this. However I checked to see if the windshield was scratched, and I did not see any new one ones (though the windshield wasn't new I didn't see any added scratches. Windows101.com sells it, but I'm sure you can get it at a local glass shop faster & cheaper. I hope it works for you too. > Hi, I've been vettin now for about 3 months now and lovin it big time, of > to Carlisle next week in fact. > > Question: I have MAJOR water spots on back window of vert top, and I've > not been successful removing(also a little on front windshield) > > One How does this happen....

Do you have any idea if this stuff would work on, or damage a targa roof? Mine has all kinds of waterspots, but I don't think the roof is actually glass. I'd think if it was, it would be heavier. Can you check with your local glass shop? TIA. AJM '93 Ruby coupe, 6 sp |

I don't know if it will damage a targa- my gut instinct would be to
not offer advice on something I haven't done. The jar I have recommends it (among other things) for fiberglass, aluminum and corian, however it warns against using on surfaces that can be harmed by mild abrasives. The jar also lists a phone number you can try for the company: 800 341 5417. If the water spots on your window aren't coming off with these other recommendations (or even if they are) I'd still recommend using it. The Targa is a different matter though & i wouldnt want to advise there. Best luck!
