Window cleaner

are you sure it's the windows stained and not the tinting on the windows?

a long time ago the windows on my parents house were stained from the bore - nothing we tried would shift the stains...........we ended up getting a pro window bloke who used a compound and buffer and all was clear. maybe try either a window place or a panel beaters as they will have plenty of non-scratching compounds you could try. rgds

CLR..or what ever its called...get it from hardware store. It is what you use to clean kettles etc etc of lime and calcium

Just as a matter of interest how did they get stained? Have never heard of this before.

Here are some ideas:

Toothpaste. And elbow grease. This is one of the best things u can use for polishing stuff like that.

There has been a fair amount of discussion about this issue (early August I think)at autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/120scool/

People are using some interesting stuff to keep their windows clean. Elbow grease seems to figure prominently:-)

GeeTee,

Don't use steel wool! Believe it or not, you might actually scratch the glass.

When I was in the glass industry, we used cerium oxide mixed into a paste and elbow grease to polish out imperfections.

If your glass has what I think it has, you won't be able to fix it. When the glasses are manufactured, sometimes they are put into the plastic bags for shipping while the glass is still warm (from the furnace). The glass has a reaction with something in the plastic (particularly if they're stacked without a gap between the glasses). That's what gives you the weird water-stained look. It can be on both sides of the glass.

We used to see this sort of thing semi-regularly.

Unfortunately, there's not really much you can do except "recycle the glass". If the vehicle's under warranty I'd be pressing for a swap.

This isn't limited to any make of vehicle as it happens at the glass maker's.
