rubbersoul Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I believe it is caused by various reasons such as Wiper Blade condition (cracked-up)..and yes..the WATER.Streaking and water spots are mostly from "hard water"..which is a combination of mainly calcium & magnesium (plus many more) which contributes to hardness..it can occur when you clean your windshield with "deepwell" water..if not..during fill-up sa gas station..the attendants would ask.."Sir, windshield cleaning?"..yes naman tayo! But little do we know what water they use...then we drive off with a feeling of a squeeky clean windshield..but as the sun ray heats up our car glass...then we see little round water marks and when it isnt clean immediately...it dries up. There are lots of glass cleaners in the market...theyre ok..but you can also use simple household stuff (no need to go and buy sa gas station...Dad..may bibilhin lang ako sa Caltex...style!)...Hardness "scales-spots" can be removed by slightly acidic water...what I do is..get a "tabo"..put some purified water (yup..the drinking water)..a bit warm to touch...then get Vinegar (suka)..just 2~3 table spoon would do..mix it. Get another tabo of purified water for rinsing..walang suka, just waterGet a clean rug (2 to be exact)...gently rub the marks off..circular motion (ala Karate Kid..wax in-wax out)...then wipe it clean with the other rug dipped with purified water...That's it! As for washer reservoir...many are being sold in the market..theyre ok, again...but what I do is try to get the old shampoo bottles (yun malapit na ma-ubos or your mom would k*ll yah!)..mix with purified water and use it to top up that reservoir..I also use JOY..or the other dishwashing liquid in the kitchen...but not so many coz it promotes bubbles..Never use powdered detergents coz it would dry up and clog your small water hoses. Rain Away is good also...but I noticed that after initial application..you have to "clean" well your wiper before applying again..it last for a couple of days naman..but it's fantastic during rainy season...if you dont clean your windshield..the effects diminishes...Hope this helps!

jaydawg Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Buti ok na auto mo bro. Just to add lang if the scratch is too deep meaning your fingernail can be dug in, then hindi na kaya ng rubbing compund yun. If it's a very light scratch lang din its best to try a lesser abrasive before using compund para hindi maubos agad ang clearcoat. Quote Link to comment
stockboy Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 try bringing you car in Big Bert's Professional Detailers in Ortigas home depot Quote Link to comment
Guest mzmn Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Oo nga, even with shallow scratches, you don't want to risk taking off too much clear coat. Big Bert's is a good idea. Quote Link to comment

Abdul_Jackool Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 you can try glaco wash and replealant... a bit costly... about P1050 package but worth the money... removes watermarks, stains as well as the rainbow color after washing... Quote Link to comment

lomex32 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Right. We should take precautions in using RUBBING COMPOUND .... it somehow scrapes away the surface ....and excessive usemay just damage precious paint and coating ..... Quote Link to comment
patutski Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 big berts will get that job done, Quote Link to comment
cool_kojie Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Its not always good to use rubbing compound cause it strips away clear coat. and it makes your paint thinner. Okey lang siguro paminsan minsan but make sure you put on wax or paint protection. Meguiar has a good product na available sa most auto detailers yung pang paint protection nila. I forgot the name e. parang Diamont paint sealer. I go to detailers every 6 months para protected parati paint. Â Ako what i do for minor scratches is buy a wax that has color pigments. Matagal din mawala. re apply na lang pag lumabas ulit yung scratch. Quote Link to comment
jopit Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 have u tried using star wax or pronto..ang kintab talaga sa car at dumudulas ang dust. try it to believe!!! Quote Link to comment
toobz Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 wierd but it happened too on my 95 lancer glxi......it was parked in direct sunlight though when a pebble hit it and the glass shattered into a thousand bits... my guess is the frame of the windshield and glass has too little clearance. so when the frame heats up it puts pressure on the glass. so a little shock or vibation serves as the catalyst on the already stressed glass surface Quote Link to comment
tombone Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 i did not have the rear windshield shattered experience , but the front windshield i have experienced it several time specially during cold season and usually it happen on wee hour of the morning just wake up and is all shattered .
