If they are spots left behind from the wash and not by damage to the glass, my guess is it will do the job. I found a few videos about the product on YouTube before I purchased it. My suggestion would be to use one microfiber towel to apply the cleaner and another clean one to buff it dry. I first tried using regular paper towels, which had meh results. After I figured it out, my windows were crystal clear like they promised on the bottle. I was amazed at the results.

I have had problems using this product, never a spot. However, I have no idea what you used so could not say with certainty that this product will correct spots caused by the product you used. I do feel it's worth a try, cheaper than trading cars!

I haven't used the glass cleaner on old water spots. I guess it would probably depend on the surface of the old water spots. However, I have used it to remove masking tape residue from one of my mirrors and it came off quickly. Hope this helps.

I have had no problems with it in car washes.Make sure it is securely mounted with no long bolts with extra threads exposed that may cause a problem. It worked well for me..

I'm guessing that it might do the job, based on the luck that I've had with this product. I've found it to be pretty much of a "miracle" glass cleaner. I'd spray it on and leave it for several moments and then give it a good wipe with a newspaper and then let it dry for a few minutes and spray it again, but this time, wipe it down with a soft cloth...like the ones they use at car washes OR use a couple of folded cloth diapers that haven't been exposed to bleach or any kind of fabric softener. If that doesn't work, then I'm at a complete loss!

It is a cleaner. Will it remove hard water spots? Tough question. I have had it remove water spots from an outdoor glass table. But I have had some old, old water spots on glass that I had to use a very fine auto rubbing compound to remove. Once remover this product has kept it clean. I'd say try it. It's the best cleaner I have ever used.

I have a colleague that used it on his car and it sat too long and removed the paint. If you use it, I would wipe it down and wash it with soap and water soon after it is applied. It may have been a fluke but thought I would share their experience.

I think it does at least as well as others on water spots. On a medium dark green Honda I was happy with it. My main use is on a bright yellow 1992 Miata, and here water spots are not much of an issue. I generally use clean white towels to quickly dry off after a wash anyway. Good luck!

I have used this on my auto windows several times and each time the hard water spots remain. It will remove grime and grease.

I use it for auto glass not for plastic. There are cleaners used for auto plastic.

No, you do not need to use pre-cleaner and clay bar. Just make sure car is clean. This may sound dumb but, Mr. Clean is the best soap for washing a car! It's more expensive than auto parts store soaps but, it cleans better than all of them. Like I have said previously, "I met a man who had 50 coats of LG on his 78 thunderbird and the car looked amazing, you could read the newspaper in the reflection."

I guess you could if you used a mild cutting agent. Why not just wash the car with a strong dish or laundry soap????

I did not use soapy water. I used a claybar lubricant (Chemical Guys brand). In my case, I washed and dried the car, then used the lubricant only. After a complete claybar treatment, I used a microfiber rag to wipe down the car (actually did it as I went), then applied a wax (actually NuFinish).I imagine you can use the claybar with soapy water, but the lubricant is a very different chemical than the soap and does not need to be rinsed off.

on your soap container for you pressure washer I would try 3 oz first then fill the rest with water it all depends how big a vehicle you haveI use a soap Gun and use 3 oz on a 2012 Prius it gives a coating of foam all over my car, then leave it on for 5 mins before rinsing off hope this helps Limeyde

It worked on my car pretty well, but I got some on my windshield and it left a white residue that I cannot seem to remove.

This product works great on clear glass like shower doors or shower glass but I used it last week on my tinted Dodge Ram windows and left streaks (lots of streaks). This product was reasonable cost wise a year, ago, however very expensive nowadays. The best product I've found to clean exterior glass (and interior glass) windshields is 1 teaspoon of mild dish soap (i.e., Palmolvie) to 1 qallon of distilled water then shake and pour into a spray bottle and clean windows with elbow grease or squeegee and wipe away any excess.If fact, I use mild soapy water for cleaning homes windows and if moldy or mildew I add 1 tsp of Bleach to the 1 gallon of soapy water...it's the best cleaner and very cheap.

I have found that you have to jiggle the nozzle sometimes to get it to engage, after that it is fine. Also, I have used this product since it first came onto the market many years ago and I NEVER had any issues with it hurting the paint. Remember to rinse the soap off with plain water first, then rinse again with the rinse filter engaged. This way you are sure to get all of the soap off and assured to have a clean, shiny, spot free car! It is a great product!
