No Touch auto glass stripper

[RThompson]

Anyone with any postive experience with this 'No Touch" product for getting hard water spots off of glass?

I have bought a number of products that just don't seem to work very well. Even tried the fine steel wool (0000 grade).

Putting on teflon sealer or waxing the glass is a good preventive measure, but getting it off is another issue.

Thanks for any input!

A bought a bottle from a Close-Out type store. I think I paid 50 cents. GREAT stuff. It cleans the windshield real nice. It gets the "very tough to get off" oily stuff off well.

I have used it. It takes some elbow grease, but it works.

I've used it and it works pretty good. I now use chrome polish-cheaper and works as good or better

The best stuff I have found for removing mineral deposits from glass is a product made by Rain-x called "Glass Polish". It's hard to find but does an excellent job, even on chrome. Here is some info on it:

Bon-Ami, a wet sponge and a little elbow grease works well for me.

I just used some pumice that I've had for years on my glass to remove water spots that have been there for about 3 years now. Worked great! I used a wet cloth and rubbed pretty hard. Do not use on the black strip between the front and rear side windows, it will scratch it.

Lime-Away... or the product called "CLR"

I've tried them all and if you have hard spots etched into the glass, I think you're SOL. I've not had any luck even with most of the suggestions here... .



The only thing I haven't tried is chrome polish, and the Rain X stuff... might give them a shot but I've pretty much written it off as 'it ain't gonna happen'... .

Get a fine polishing compound like is used for paint. Use something like a foam pad on a drill motor and it will come clean. I had a glass shower door that had *many* years of neglect built up on it and it took me nearly three hours to get it clean, but it did come clean.



Good luck,

Mike

The problem is that I think there's a difference between something that is 'on' the glass, versus something that has etched into the glass. My water spots are 'in' the glass... . not on it.

Well..... , Here's my story. I've been using chrome cleaner on my windows with pretty good luck. I tried it on the shower door glass (heavily water stained). The chrome cleaner got most of it off, but not all. Not wanting to replace the doors, I went to the garage to find some stuff I had called "Bio Clean-Water Stain Remover". I bought this stuff at the fair and really didn't think it would work. Well, it cleaned that glass of all the water spots!! So the stuff is distributed by Touch of Orange, 800-867-2643. Call them and try it.

curatchko,

don't give up! Try the rain-x stuff, I guarantee it will work. I had a Toyota pickup that was watered by our sprinkler every day for two years. The water spots were so bad I could hardly see out of the window on a bright day. Tried everything, buffing, rubbing compound, chrome cleaner, cleaner wax, even tried an abrasive pot scrubber, scrubbed on it for hours, nothing worked. Finally got the rain-x glass polish, rubbed it on about as much as you would when applying wax to your car, let it sit a few minutes and polished it off. Windows look better than when it was new. Also, after you get your windows all polished up, a coat of the rain-x window wax will stop the spots from forming again. (Note, not affiliated with rain-x, just a happy customer)



Good luck,

Bill

Who sells the Rain-X polish? Nobody around seems to have it. Autozone has just about every Rain-X product, but not this stuff.



Can you mail order it?



Thanks.

Well I just called and they have discontinued the Glass Polish.



Rain-X was just bought by Shell.
