Dumb question - Can they be buffed out with a random orbital polisher with either a polishing compound, glaze, and/or wax? Or is this a bad idea on safety glass?

 

Wow! Do you live next door to me or something?!?! Exactly my problem. A valve in my sprinkler system stuck open and ran for just over 12 hours. In just so happened to be 106 or 108*F that day..............and it also was one of they only days my car was not parked in the garage

The only way I've found to get it off the paint is polishing, I went to autogeek.com and bought this: http://www.autogeek.net/xmtpocainswr.html

Other than that, wet sanding is your option, but the work is far too extensive.

As far as the windows, I've had no luck with anything. Numerous cleaners, products, steel wool, newspaper.......nothing worked. I want to try the buffer on the window, but I don't need the windows messed up more than they are. Only one person here has mentioned they use a buffer on their windows. That's not enough for me.

 

I've been wondering as well.

 

Thanks for the info guys. I've tried vinegar, pure ammonia, all glass cleaners, clay bar and none of these work. I'll try the steel wool and report back.

 

You need white vinager and water, has always taken hard water spots off for me.

 

Don't use anything more than 0000 steel wool. More abrasive wool will probably scratch and swirl.

 

yes you should use your random orbital and a polish/pad specific for glass. This is a good one:

I have lots of experience professionally detailing cars. Yes you can and should use a random orbital to polish glass. Those hard water spots will be gone immediately. Try this and say goodbye to them: http://www.autogeek.net/dia-glasswork-restorer.html

 

Thanks.....that's good to know! I'm even more glad that I purchased my R. O. polisher....

 

I just tried some of this for the fish scale problem - http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/...oduct_Count=15

1st application took out about 90% of it. I bet the next application will knock out the rest.
