Issue: the glass in my sedan has what I'll call "stained water marks". Before I head down to waste the local glass shops time asking for free advice, has anyone dealt with this before? Is there a glass polish? I'm always sceptical of some of these products that claim to "one easy step"... Thx

here is what i do, thoroughly clean the window to the edges with oooo super fine steel wool and glass cleaner.i polish any defects with crest tooth paste {yep) and a lambs wool pad and re-clean with window cleaner(really like the Invisible Glass brand). after its dry i apply two good coats of Rain-X or equivalent and install.

Be wary of glass polishing compounds. I had a major, deep scratch in the windscreen of my Matrix. I got some polishing compound from a glass shop and it damaged the screen so badly that I had to replace it (it was going to be replaced anyway due to the scratch and a small crack, if the scratch had not polished out). It turned out that it was actually for shower doors and the like and not for areas that were easily seen - like the section of the windscreen in front of the driver! Afterwards I had a nice cloudy area in front of my eyes which refracted light really badly at night. Lesson learned

I was told at my auto body class that you could sand scratches out starting with 3000 wet dry then compound I have some orbit sand marks we were talking about also rain x has a cleaner that compound in it.

I think I used chrome polish of all things on my water spots. It worked too!
