WTF. Spots of Death?

Ive had these spots on all my windows and even my chrome(lol?) with these water spots. I did get my windows tinted 2 months ago but they WILL NOT wash out and I have no clue how to clean them. Any help would be great

Have you tried Stoners Invisible glass or Sprayaway for the windows? ( for interior and exterior )

You can also try using an all purpose cleaner like P21S or even Isopropyl 50:50. ( Only use these on the outside windows ). These would be pad for the tint film.

You can also clay and polish your windows

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Nick

Maybe they are bubbles in your tint?

Years ago I used to wash my car at my girlfriends house. The city she lived in had very, very hard water and would just screw up my black paint. Get a water softener, or find a place/city that has soft water.

If nothing else works, get Danase Water Spot remover. It can be applied by hand and should handle any waters spots you have.

No need to get any specialty products. Just get some compound, I used Ultimate compound. It took all the water spots off my silver trim, my windows..ect.

True, but the Danase Water Spot remover does it without removing any paint, it's just a specialized water spot cleaner. Not arguing with you, just something to take into consideration.

ah yea I forgot about those specialized water spot cleaners, but what is this paint removing your talking about?

There is no paint on glass, and the silver trim did not have any paint being removed when I used UC.

Oh whoops, didn't see the OP had it only on windows and chrome. If it's only on windows and chrome, I would use Ultimate compound, not sure how well it would work by hand. I wouldn't use it on fake silver trim though, for that I just use a cleaner wax and they come right off.

Try not to wash your car in sunlight. Use a high quality car was like gold class.

+1 for Meguiar's Ultimate Compound for cleaning glass.

Leaves it as smooth as paint.

I always use clay bar and for lubrication "Invisible glass" cleaner.

Works like a charm.
