Re: water spots in glass

I don't know if it will work, but I use Bon Ami cleanser to clean all my glass. It is a powder abrasive, sold in supermarkets, and is "guaranteed not to scratch".. It's cheap enough and easy enough to find for you to give it a shot. Sprinkle liberally onto wet sponge, polish, then rinse with plenty of water.

Try a little baking soda with vinegar and a low scratch pad.

Re: water spots in glass

thanks you guys. i will obviously try to keep everything off the paint, but if some of the vinegar and baking soda get on the paint will it hurt it? thanks

Ceramic stove top cleaner does the trick.
