Just noticed some watermarks on one of my passenger window. I remember hearing someone mention the material of side windows is different from front windscreen thus need to handle with more care.

Wondering can I clay / polish by hand to get rid of it? Or any other suggestions to tackle this problem?

Kinda regret didn't put rainx on my rear passenger windows as I noticed that it helps to prevent watermark.

I think the side glass is similar to the windscreen, the side mirror then is different which has to be handled differently. Use soft acid like vinegar.

Thanks for the advice. Can I ask do you usually dilute the vinegar or use it undiluted? And apply the solution on a cloth to wipe? Or use a spray?

I put it on cotton then dab it there left it for sometime, then came back and wipe. it will reduce, but I guess need several pass.

Cars manufacturers like Honda love to use the piano black finishing which are swirls/scratch magnets... what would be the best way to polish it? Plastx?

Also wondering the ever popular and expensive iBrid... does it have a cheaper alternatives?

Hi Bro, I suppose sifus are busy currently. Haha. Why not try Meguiars Ultimate polish? Remember hearing before that Honda paint is very soft or 'sticky'.

Can't help u with the iBrid Coz I myself also have no idea tongue.gif

The black plastic is actually.. plastic, not a paint finishing... so was wondering hmm.gif cause I just "de-chrome" my car's grill to black piano... before install I coated it with those SiO2 from Osren.. but while doing it I also scratched a bit ah doi! Damn even when I handled with a lot of care haha...

Kaffatsum, just remembered you mentioned the below some time ago, can you share your experience of how did it went? Because I am in somewhat similar situation as well.

Same scenario here! No choice I did panels by panels... like day 1, hood, roof and boot... then day 2 fenders and doors... then bumpers on day 3. sometimes can stretch for weeks.. not exactly time efficient...

U coul try doing a spot compounding first to see if u could level it down. If that doesnt work then using maybe 1000 grit sandpaper or above to wetsand it should do the trick. Just remember after wetsanding u will need to compound and polish to bring back the shine again. Be gentle during wetsanding so that its easier to compound after that.
*
Will try with my 3" DA (MF + Nao46), if I can't level it... gonna leave it there I guess, eventually it should level out in the future as I polish (fingers crossed).

Just use turpintine. Your 2k clear coat will be safe from it while the color base paint can be easily removed by turpintine.

Base paint came off already, but this one is like... a buldge of clear coat left on it shakehead.gif

If you dont use bucket dollies, the bottom of a normal bucket will get scraped easily.

But then my original normal RM7 bucket lasted me 7 years, used only for car wash and stored indoors after use. biggrin.gif

Mine got scrapped badly sad.gif, how much does these bucket dollies goes for? Osren have them too?

Worse part is having to carry the water around haha, and especially two buckets

Previously I used 1 bucket with grit guard... then I went with two buckets with grit guard and the rinse bucket has the wash board, and thats' when I finally saw it going all black.. meaning before this I wasn't rinsing the mitt properly ._.

I'm using CarPro Spotless, not bad I would say. But those very deeply etched ones still need to polish off using cerium oxide cream.

So I have quite a bit of watermark on my windscreen... and I did a quick wash on the area I wanted to test out... and kinda removed the watermark but caught some minor scratches dry.gif... not sure it was there before cause the watermarks can't see them.

Using Osren glass polish and the rayon cube (was trying on the small triangle glass).

Should I actually clay the glass, then probably carpro spotless then only glass polish?
