Preparation:
1. Park your car in a shady area to prevent the glass from heating up too much.
2. Clean the windshield with a mild detergent and water to remove any dirt or grime.
3. Rinse the windshield thoroughly and let it dry.
Removing Water Spots:
Method 1: Vinegar and Baking Soda:
1. Mix equal parts white vinegar and baking soda to form a paste.
2. Apply the paste to the affected area of the windshield using a soft cloth or a non-abrasive sponge.
3. Scrub the surface gently in circular motions, taking care not to apply too much pressure.
4. Let the paste sit for 10-15 minutes, allowing it to dissolve the water spots.
5. Rinse the windshield thoroughly with water to remove the paste and any residue.
6. Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to buff the windshield until it's clear and streak-free.
Method 2: Glass Cleaning Product:
1. Purchase a quality glass cleaning product that's specifically designed for automotive use.
2. Follow the instructions provided on the product label for safe and effective use.
3. Spray the cleaning solution directly onto the affected area or a clean microfiber cloth.
4. Gently wipe the windshield with the microfiber cloth in circular motions to remove the water spots.
5. Buff the windshield with a dry microfiber cloth until it's clear and streak-free.
Tips:
- Be sure to test any cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area of the windshield before applying it to the entire surface.
- Avoid using abrasive tools, such as steel wool or scouring pads, as they can scratch the glass.
- If the water spots are particularly stubborn, you may need to repeat the process several times until they're completely removed.
- You can also consider applying a glass sealant or a water repellent treatment to help prevent future water spots from forming.
