Removal of Water Marks from Glass Panels

This post covers one of the most common forms of automotive surface care issues in our region – water marks or stains on windows and windscreens. Take a closer look at your own car for signs of water stains after drying up the glass panels during a car wash. Chances are you will witness these irksome stains appearing!

We have tried and tested many products and working procedures, finally coming out with a process that works brilliantly for us! We are confident that most of the glass stains found in 90% of our rides can be solved, and the offending glass protected.

This process typically takes about two hours for completion (an entire car's exterior glass panels). It involves cleaning, solvent cleansing, chemical removal of 'permanent water stains', a second light solvent cleansing and finally, the application of a glass sealant protection for a hydrophobic effect during rain. 

Here are some shots taken during a recent job on a 7 year old Honda CRV.
