Gonna watch the video but I’m thanking you now for doing the video, Can’t thank you enough for all your videos
Thank you. You will love this stuff if you have water spots
I bought this stuff from an IG ad a year ago. Unlike a lot of products, it does what it claims. Always wondered how it'd work on a buffer. Thanks for trying that method!
It is nice to have something work as advertised
This stuff really does work great. I brought a 1995 Chevy C1500 Truck a couple years ago and tried this stuff on the mirror and windows. It really does work. I put a buffing pad on a drill and it works great without wearing out my shoulders. I highly recommend this. Depending on how heavy the water spots are, you may have to do it twice. But definitely works.
Definitely works
i just moved to FL from RI and started seeing this. I was starting to think it was in the interior side because it would go if i scrubbed it with my finger or nail. And i've these water spots after only 4 months of being in Pensacola. Thank you for the video.
I had no idea what this was till i saw your video!
Yeah that Florida rain and then sun causes issues
Okay, I think I've found what I needed. Thanks for the video!!!
👍
found this video because i have a 97 extended cab GMC i just picked up and has really bad water stain like this. I am down here in florida and the thing that does most of the damage is not really the rain its the yard sprinklers. Tons of iron in the waterand will even stain white cars and make them look rusty oi they are parked next to a sprinkler every day. Definetly going to give this a try though!
Sprinklers are killers
Good video. I've seen this stuff. I've got to get some myself now.
It's good stuff
Nice video Travis on the pain in the ass acid rain spots... That product worked pretty good.. I used 00grade steel wool on acid rain windows and it took little bit of it out but not completely.. I had to use my DeWalt buffer with heavy compound and a foam purple waffle pad.. and it comes out nicely.....
I tried compound here to no avail
@@TWAMotorsports 3m purple compound with a purple waffle pad with a medium speed on a high speed buffer machine takes out the acid rain.. however depending on how long the acid rain has been sitting on the windows than product may vary.. the Florida salt water and acid rain in comb is a disaster...the acid rain will put up a fight with a buffer wheel....
Ive used Magic Erasers on water spots with distilled water to rinse out the eraser as im cleaning, finish cleaning with a microfiber towel. Works great in my area.
I will have to try that
Good evening, Travis. Yes! Water spots are a pain in the butt. I'll have to give that product a try.
Definitely a pain
@@TWAMotorsports no kidding. I remember when I bought my Trans am back in middle of 2008. GOOD LORD! That back hach glass. 🤬🤬🤬🤬. Now is that product you used on the glass also like a 2in1. Cleaner and sealer? You know how sometimes that go's. If you don't use a sealant on, after buffing.
i work at a steel plant and the water spots are ungodly. Nothing works on them, vinegar, CLR, walmart stuff, but that Sudfactory stuff works!! it's the best spot remover ever (on glass anyway, haven't tried any of their other products).
Nice
Does it get the ring out? Most water spot removers removes the minerals inside the ring. Then you have to polish the scar of the water spot remover if that even works.
@@SupremeDetail510 it doesn’t leave any rings in my experience. You have to use a little elbow grease but it gets it all
@@ChrisMan183 awesome just ordered the glass/paint water spot remover bundle from the website.
Takes it all
I was kinda hesitating on ordering this product but after watching your video I’m definitely going to order it now they have a bundle glass and paint plus ceramic coating for $79 so I’ll be ordering that great video though
It works good
Watched the whole video, Looks to be a good product. But I've been using Meguiar's Heavy Duty Oxidation Remover for water spot and that works with effortless rubbing with microfiber towel and a little rubbing. I used it alot on customers vehicle throughout the years. Full Time Mechanic 15 years +
I will give that a shot too. Thanks for the info.
nice product .in my shop I use 2000 sandpaper to clear such nasty water spots off and then polish after but I think what you used here is much easier and faster
Probably way faster
And.....I've gone to the website, and they have changed the labeling. What you used is not exactly there now, but instead I guess they have renamed it "Spotless X2 Glass Waterspot Killer", still sold as "Remover". I have some really bad spots on the windows of my '70 Chevelle SS, so I'm going to buy this and see how it does. May take me a while to get back to you, but I'll let you know how it turns out! Thanks for pushing me over the edge!
Interesting
Wow I'm definitely going to be getting that stuff, great job, thanks for sharing Travis! Also can you repost the link to the polisher, it had the same link as the glass cleaner Appreciate all you do Travis
Thank you. I fixed the link.
griots headquarters is like 3 miles from here, i went to their monthly car show last weekend, some legit rides there for sure! cool to see you give them a shoutout and using their gear. I need a polisher but I just don't know where to start bc I feel like it'll just be a drop in the bucket of supplies I need to actually correct and polish my older cars. I'll go and give them a shout I'm sure they can help me figure it out.
They make good entry level stuff. Used them for yeara.
While working at a large dealership detail shop one summer, we used diluted muriatic acid on the glass and it worked beautifully. Using such a chemical is dangerous but you can mitigate those risks. PPE is necessary and keep a neutralizing agent nearby in case of skin contact etcetera. It was diluted enough to not melt your skin but it would start burning enough to feel it after a few seconds. Skin contact was no major problem and we had plenty of time to address any direct contact. Mostly we just hit the area of contact with high pressure water after spraying that specific window (rarely on forearm just above glove line). Hot desert climate so, of course, I'm in shorts and short sleeve t-shirt.
Thank you for the info
The problem with buffing the waterspots out of the paint is your just driving the minerals deeper into the paint so the waterspots go away only to come back up and reappear later. Best to use a good water spot remover for the paint before you buff it. It breaks down the waterspot causing minerals then clean it off then you can buff the paint. DIY Detail has a simple spray for waterspots on paint. That way you can just spray, wipe and rinse and then buff with less elbow grease. That window waterspot remover looks legit though 👍🏼
Great advise
Thank you so much! I just saw an ad with that product and wanted to do some research. After finishing on the glass, i do see some haziness, was it left over of material or did it come out after a proper wipe? Have you tried car pro ceriglass?
After wiping it was fine
Thx for video. Would have been good to show half and half against a regular paint compound
👍
nice. i had some good results from a company called pro tec pretty much able to wipe away light spots. they also had a nice interior cleaner, marketed for boats, little kit they had was 40$ at the time.
I will have to check that out
Have you tried Barkeepers Friend? It works so well and so much faster! Would love to see you do a video on that and your reaction and comments!
No I haven't
I’ve tried the chemical guys water spot remover and it works amazing. I would definitely recommend that and I don’t really like chemical guys that much. Cause there alright
I may try it too down the road
@@TWAMotorsports I can’t wait to see your first reaction. Please film for us to enjoy lol. Thanks
how does the CAR PRO Spotless 2.0 work in comparison? 😅
@btbd2785 haven't trued it
Lime away. Safe on paint too, but ofc wash afterwards. It’s acidic and will attack the calcium build up
My OBS has terrible water spots like this. GA truck. Windows tinted really dark like this truck and it's unsightly. I tried steel wool and it didn't do much if anything. Have to try this.
Yeah the tint makes it worse.
I live in Florida. We have very hard water going to our homes. That being said, our sprinklers leave exactly what you have going on. My wife’s Escalade has been professionally ceramic coated and even that is hard to get the hard water stains removed.
I bet
#00 steel wool wouldn't touch that stuff either. I'm definitely going to buy some I got a truck I'm messing with it needs the TWA touch
It works great
You want 0000 steel wool.
That would be best
@@americanman911 You right I meant to say #0000. When I worked in autobody we had alot of vehicles come in with major water spots my onwer hired a outside guy to polish glass that steel wool wouldn't touch he would spend most the day on one vehicle but looked brand new after
Polishing glass is a different animal than paint. Takes experience and knowledge to not mess that up.
I did a ton ton ton of scrubbing with no result and finaly i actually damaged my glass it got hazy on the small test area. You are right the glass cream is abbrasive and would probably cut right through the clear coat i would not try it. I also tried the paint spot remover and am dissapointed. too much work for little results and afraid i would damage my paint like i did the glass. I dont know i will try again with more patience.
Definitely isn't spray on wipe off
Old thread I know but I found if you let it sit wet then rub it works better 20:59 paint spot remover that is..
@gr3830 i didn't trust it setting on the paint
@@TWAMotorsportsi had deep water spots on my black car. Did no damage letting it sit just a little bit. The glass water spot remover did nothing until I put tons of pressure on it. Not an easy job
@gr3830 yeah it probably would have been fine.
I like to use #0000 steel wool. Called four ought steel wool. It is super fine and you'd think there is no way it would work. But it works really well.
I didn't try that
Do you use the steelwool wet or dry??
@@erwinvangrinsven9345 Dry. I showed this to a co-worker just yesterday. He was surprised how polished the glass felt afterwards.
@@chrispearce9224ok,thanks
Generally wet
What about the tint? Will these cleaners hurt it?
You don't use it on the inside
When it comes to hard water restoration, I've been in the game for over a decade so I know my stuff. I'm not boasting here but just want to set the scene so that you realize what I can bring to the table. As soon as I heard about this new product everyone was talking about, my curiosity got the better of me and of course I just had to investigate it closer. It became clear pretty quickly though, that while this product might have its uses, on glass surfaces it can leave a nasty micro-scratch effect - like a web of scratches sitting over the top. A quick check in natural sunlight will be enough to convince anybody that this isn't a suitable treatment for something as delicate as glass.
I agree to an extent. It should probably not be used with a machine
I was looking for someone to comment about that! I'm a professional auto detailer and I've tried out numerus products... all of them will leave very fine micro holograms especially when looking in direct sun with windows being tinted. Its very annoying can make some un happy customers with high end cars that are meticulous about their cars. Every car manufacture, Glass reacts different some i clay bar then just buff with a compound and some i use glass cleaner and 0000 steel wool. liquid acid is also great but avoid direct sun light
It does micro scratch
Turtle Wax works very well too.
Never had luck with that
@@TWAMotorsports with the white paste?
Yep. Tried in the past
Do you have to wash your car first to use the paint one?
Would be a good idea
Well I don't have a buffer so this does not help me can we do it without the buffer so I can get these water spots off my husband's truck window please...
I wouldn't use a buffer anyway
Clay bar and bronze wool
I may try that in the future
It looks like there’s ton of micro scratches on the area you applied it on. Do you see them?
Yes but it was scratched before. This may put more in also though if you get aggressive
Clay bars work too
I use monthers synthetic clay bar works
Clay wasn't fixing the glass
Night and Day difference. Wonder what the glass looks like after a good washing 🤔. ✌🏻
It definitely needs wash. Lol
Distilled White Vinegar and lemon works great and won’t harm the window!😊👍
Thank you
Water spots are really pesky and they kill the whole look on your truck , and Travis will you ever make a video on paint correction?
I agree. Maybe I will make a video at some point on paint correction. I have before on roof rack deletes
They sell a acid here that you put on a towel and wipe that stuff straight off(use gloves and do not get that on any paint)
That would be easier
Just never use that without gloves, I know one guy who used it and that stuff got under his finger nails and he went to the ER because of pain and that stuff slowly kept getting deeper and deeper to the point were his finger nail fell off
Holy crap!
That product is very expensive, even with their Black Friday sale going on right now it's crazy high.
But it does work
Looks like a bunch of micro scratches in the glass. Were those there before?
I believe so
Why not try it with triple O steel wool?
Didn't touch it
@@TWAMotorsports I meant why not use the steel wool with the product you are using.
@MrMannyboy329 I guess you could
Paint spot remover clearly says on bottle u put on micro fiber and rub on.. not spray they done want u to spray on
It's funny because they show a different thing on the demo video
I don’t know why anyone spends money on any kind of water spot remover, I just use 0000 super fine steel wool pads to polish the glass, hasn’t failed yet.
Probably right
#0000 steel wool and water works amazing on glass
Didn't on this one.
Hmmm. Did on mine
@noboundaries8981 has for me before too
@@TWAMotorsports yeah and I’m in Florida near the coast too. So I have that salt air and terrible burnt in water spots
@noboundaries8981 that is where this truck came from.
I wish my truck could get customized by TWA
Me too lol
Oh it works , but not sure if a customer will pay you by the hour to it 😅800$ to remove water spots 😂
True
Thanks for that my water it terrible spotty if you don’t dry quick here that’s what you get that’s why I don’t drink tap water lol
Same here.
Toothpaste is the best way
I will have to try that sometime
Wrap your hood dude!
Was going to paint but sold it
You talk too much
Dude, you spent five minutes just repeating yourself, geez
I wouldn't watch that part if I were you then. 👍
Been on the road .. just got home … another round trip to Illinois XPO to So Cal
Long haul
