Water Spots On Glass


Recommended Posts

Posted

Well my old truck had them and I could never 100% get rid of them not matter what I tried (my bad spots were the side mirrors). Stoners did alright and I still use that as a regular glass cleaner. Well recently I purchased some DP High Performance Glass Restorer. Removed every water spot I had on the side mirrors very easily. I also had some water spots on the rear bumper and it took it right off. I must say out of everything I have tried this has worked the best (No this is not a sales pitch). I have a cabinet full of detailing supplies and I had to share this.

 

If you would like to see the product this is where I purchased from.

Vinegar and water has done the trick for me everytime, but just make sure you wear gloves unless you like the smell of vinegar. That's a good find though and I might have to try that sometime.

Oven cleaner or some aluminum chloride I had sitting around after I did a couple of "works bombs" works for me. The Works toilet bowl cleaner also works wonders for water stains.

Dang, they must have been bad. Vinegar was what I've always used as a last resort, so that stuff must really be awesome.

I've used goo gone and it works pretty dang good as an alternative to windex or any window cleaner, test it though on a small spot before you use it just in case you don't like the outcome, will come out extremely clear but its a matter of preference, works wonders on the jet ski mirrors.

    • Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.       
    • We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper. 
    • Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money". 
    • I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back. 
    • That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
