All my windows had hard water stains on them since I bought my car and just could never get them off, decided to finally do something about it and here's a comparison, as you can see the two windows on the left are after the treatment and the one on the right is what all my windows were like!!! Insanely good results from an hours job... Product is called SPOT X Get into it people 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so what do you use.I am sick of these cheap chemoirs and want to find a decent one that will last a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 1m square yellow one for drying, used to use a synthetic chamois but no longer. Just don't drop it on a dirty surface, microfibre is like a magnet for twigs/grass seeds.Oh and do your best to sheet the water off when you rinse so there's less remaining to actually dry. Let hose run freely and draw all water with it as it runs off. Works better if the wax is still working though.

Doesn't leave spots. And of all ppl I know, black is the worst colour for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_hammy Member 192 Member For: 12y 9m 26d Gender: Male Location: Perth, WA Posted 22/04/13 10:21 PM Share Posted 22/04/13 10:21 PM I always dry my car after washing it, synthetic chamois is a complete waste of time mate. Spend the $25ish dollars on a leather chamois they are the ducks nuts. Spot free rinses do work as well if your washing at a drive thru place. I don't actually think these water marks are from not drying.. I think it could be from rain that had extra minerals in it and not getting dried straight away caused it to leave the minerals to dry up and basically glue themselves to the window... Might sound stupid but I read this from a few places on the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both rear axles were bent and I had final drive straighten them and machine the hub face. I also replaced the bearings at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
