hey all, i have a 92 with i call it oxidation on the rear window. it is like a cloudy effect and i cant find new glass up here, damn AK. lol. any ideas on a product to use to remove this. thanks

 

Any pics of this? I'm not sure what you are talking about...it doesn't wipe off? I assume you tried that.

 

Sounds like buildup of rain deposits ect. If your windows are not taken care of regularly this is what happens.

This is what you NEED
Tools and Products

• High Speed Rotary Buffer
• M04 Heavy-Cut Cleaner (Meguiars)
• Glass Cleaner
• 3" Wool Cutting Pad
• Blue Painter's tape
• Microfiber

You can not just simply use any BS over the counter orbital buffer with any pad. It NEEDS to be a High Speed Rotary w/ wool cutting pad or at least a foam cutting pad. If you dont have access or dont have the funds be prepared to be disappointed, but you can bunch up a cotton terry towel in your fingers and go to town with the M04. It will take a LONG time and if you are not experienced you most likely will give up because of not seeing results right away. That's why you really need a Rotary.

That being said here are some before and afters of a job that was done with the same equipment I just posted.

 

no i dont have any pics as it is covered for the winter with a cpl inches of snow , and thanks for the help all. ill give that a try black. can u give me a brief break down of what steps to do. i have a idea but confused where the wool pad come in to play. thanks.

 

Like I said we are not talking about a crappy rotary buffer like this.

We are talking about one like this.

With a 3" wool cutting pad on the backing plate like this one from buff and shine.


Step 1: Clean and wash windows, make sure they are completely dry.
Step 2: Mask edges around windows. So you dont marr your paint.
Step 3: Prime the pad with quick detail solution.
Step 4: Add some m04 to the pad, work it on the surface and then hit it with high speed.
Step 5: Work the machine back and forth, up and down until you can barely see the compound anymore.
Step 6: Wipe with micro fiber, and repeat until desired result appears.

 

Rubbing alcohol with salt will clean that with ease.
