basically as fine as you can get, as it is steel wool, i think the finest is 0000. im sure any body paste wax would work or a rubbing compound paste. just wet the window then apply paste to the pad and rub the snot out of it, maybe finish off with a cheesecloth to get the residue off.. might want to consider doing all windows though, not just one. then when it rains watch the water bead off..


if your uncomfortable with it try a small area first, but youllbe fine.

 

OK, I just tried it on a small portion. It did make a slight difference. I am sure that if I put a little more elbow grease into it I could fix it, BUT Fort Riley Kansas weather is out to get me. As soon as I started to do it the rain started coming down AGAIN. I will let you know if things turn out OK. Are there any glass polishing pastes out there that I could use? I just tried the Turtle Wax Ice that I mentioned earlier, but if there is a more suitable product out there I would rather use that.

 

that should work, when i did it awhile back on a previous vehicle I just used wax.

 

OK, as soon asI can get around to this I will post some pics of the results. Thanks again for this info. Soon it won't bother me any longer.

 

Well, yesterday was actually a great day, so I decided to get out and work on the window. Boy you weren't kidding when you said to rub the snot out of it. I was out there for what seemed like forever, but I am pleased to say that the end result was well worth it thank you cliro for the suggestion. Here is a before and after comparison.

I assure you that the second picture isn't modified in any way. That technique just worked that well. If the weather cooperates this weekend I am going to hit up the rest of the windows. They aren't streaked or anything, but there is no harm in a little buffing right. Thanks again cliro, dirty or messed up glass is one of my pet peeves.

 

no problem, glad I can help

 

WOW. That's amazing! Congrats

 

Finally got some 0000 steel wool to clean up some of my glass. My windows aren't nearly that bad, but they do have some spots. No glass polish could be located, so I guess wax it is. Free bump for you and the nice results.

 

Good tipcliro, Ill have to rember that one. we sometimes get new cars with either rail dust or water spots on the widows, im pretty sure that would work.
