How to Clean Water Spots on Car Windows
- 1). Fill the spray bottle with a solution of one cup distilled water and one cup distilled vinegar. You can keep this solution in your car. If you do not like the smell of the vinegar, you can purchase a commercial water spot remover.
- 2). Move the car to a shaded area. Allow all surfaces to cool down from sun warmth. Direct sunlight may evaporate the glass cleaner before it can be wiped off, leaving more residue. Ensure that all glass surfaces are dry. Apply a generous amount of the cleaner to the window. Using a cloth made specifically for cleaning glass, wipe the window---make vertical swipes across the entire surface of the glass. Work the cloth into the crevices of the rubber seal.
- 3). Flip the cloth to a clean side and continue wiping until all of the cleaner is removed. Inspect the surface of the glass. Heavy build-up of mineral deposits may require several applications of the cleaner. Use a clean side of the cloth at every application.
- 4). Lower all side windows and clean the top and side edges of the glass. Moisture may cause leftover mineral deposits to slide down the surface of the glass if the edges of the windows are not cleaned.
- 5). Apply a high-quality window wax to the exterior of the windows. The wax will aid in repelling future mineral deposits from the surface of the glass. The wax should be applied every time you wash the car.
