Glass care

[garyde]

I have been working on waxing the Coach. I have gotten around to the windows now. I can not get the water marks off the glass. Is there any way to remove this from the glass? I have used several window and glass cleaners and no luck. Gary

What the heck do you have on your windows?

Anyway, The Boss has determined that a mild solution of warm water and vinegar works. Put it in a spray bottle and use the black and white section of the newspaper (no color or roto sections) to apply and wipe clean.

Cleaning glass and mirrors is a hit and miss deal.

Good luck!

Gary,

Nothing works except some magic stuff sold by our sponsor, Wipe Out Systems. I'll get the name off the bottle and post it for you. I tried a small corner of the window and the spots and acid rain were gone. Nothing else works and I have tried just about everything. Now you put the pressure on me, time to do all the windows.

At POG2 Rogers wife indicated she had good results on their many interior mirrored surfaces using " Clear Windex " We have tried it with good results. Our sponsors product should also be tried when Truk comes up with the name. They take the time for us, we should try and support them.

I njust happen to be in the middle of the same job of waxing the coach.

Last year my windows looked almost like the water spots were etched into the glass. I tried putting the wax on the windows and cleaned it off the same way I did with the painted surfaces. Wipe it off with two rags. The windows come out perfect.

Wipe-Out is here in our resort. He arrived today and it will be interesting to see him try to sell his wears. We really don't allow any signs or sales items in the park and in addition to that, NO ATV'S. I think he'll have a problem. I already have all of his products and the wax on the windows worked the best.

Yes , its mineral deposits etched in the glass. I used Vinegar to no avail. I tried wax, and no help. Three different window cleaning products, no luck. I waxed half of all the windows anyway and its more pronounced. It looks like its in the glass itself. I would be interested in knowing that product. I will contact them. Thank you . Gary

Ted from Wipeout just left... he stopped by and showed me all his products.

He was able to take what I thought was a deep bad scratch in my paint and get it out in about 10 minutes.

He also used his polishing ball and the same liquid to remove some of the hard water marks from one of my windows. It looks like it will take some time of you have a lot of watermarks since you have to buff them, but the results look great.

We used the same combo to polish my marker lights (which were creamy instead of clear) and to polish the chrome on my mirrors (which was looking terrible). Everything looked like new afterwards.

I took some before/after photos of everything, which I'll post at a later date... I have to get some work done today.

Ben,

That's great Ted was able to help you out. He will be at POG III and do a demonstration for interested parties.

Gary, he told me it was his Paint Restorer product that removes oxidation spots on glass. I'm not sure how he applies it so you may want to wait for Kerrville to see how it's done.

Jack, Got the goody box today. Read your instructions. Cant wait to try it out. Since I will be working on glass in a vertical position, I assume the Duragloss and the Cerium will need to be pre-mixed. Perhaps I can empty half of the Nuglass bottle out and add the Cerium so I can shake to mix. What do you think and what ratio should I use ? Also, is the optical quality Cerium higher grade because it is less abrasive ? Should it be used as a finish coat ? Never heard of the other product you sent. Looks like it could be a stand alone chemical to use by itself ie.shower doors. Thanks for all your help. Jim Keller

P.S. I didnt find an invoice in the box. You could send me a bill for any amount of money and I would pay based on the amount of time I have invested in the fourteen windows on this bus !

Ben,

Was this a Huck Finn / Tom Sawyer experience or did you have to lend a hand too? Work?!?! That takes a lot of fun out of life!
