Is the glass spotted or actually pitted?

water spots on glass
I haven't tried it yet, but I read in Porsche Panaroma that some of the concourse/show guys are using a clay bar intended for paint on glass to remove contaminants and water spots. With the hard water here in Fla, I will give it a try at some point.

Clay bars are frequently used to remove contaminants from glass. Nothing new. Remember to use plenty of lubricant and to wash the glass well afterwards.

Also it's said that you should use a separate Clay Bar for windows than paint, as the Clay can pick up tiny shards of glass off of windshield pits, etc.

Vinegar will remove any water spots. Get a sponge soaked with vinegar and keep running it over the glass. Then use a clay bar, then seal it with a glass sealant such as Aquapel.

Good advice. Be careful with "running" vinegar over painted surfaces but if the vinegar won't remove the spots then the claybar will.

I've always been an advocate of using a separate claybar for glass but never thought of it because of tiny bits of glass.
