New tips on cleaning

S65V8 · 11-16-2009, 03:23 PM

Was talking to a auto body shop director and the topic of cleaning water spots and glass surfaces came up. He said that no one really thinks about using lime-away for water spots and bonamie (fine silver polish) for surface glass cleaning.

Anyone agree with this or heard otherwise?

i would like to know a good and safe way of getting off water spots...

This is advice from a high-end autobody shop that does regular work for bentleys and RRs, and even a bugatti veyron - hard to believe...

Move this question to wash & wax. They might be able to chime in. I've tried a bunch of methods on windshield. None really worked 100%.

one word...POLISH! would not go near lime away but polish the windshied and you will be amazed.
My brother in law did mine. (pro detailer here in Albuquerque where water spots are crazy)
