Default Water marks on window. D'oh!!

What the best stuff to use on the windows to get water marks removed.

Was in the middle of giving the car a wipe down in the shade when I heard a yelp from one of my neighbours. He was under his car and the jack slipped so after helping him get out said I'd give him a hand.

Unknowing to me the sun had moved round baking the water onto the windows (front and rear).

Was going to use some APC , water then give it a clay bar then finish off with some megs window cleaner.

Any ideas?

A quick detailer should be able to lift the marks off with a microfibre, then just seal or wax them as your normally would.

So I can use my megs last touch for instance? Have left the car in the garage to keep it out of the sun. Will attack it again later or tomorrow.

Cheers

Yeah that should be fine as long as our only doing it on the glass. if it was paint work the only safe way realistically without marking the paint is rewash the car.

Thumbs down

Hi Steve,

Answered you on DW as well - Werkstat Prime will be great as it's solvent based - it'll also lay down a base coat of sealant so you'll get some nice water beading later too.
