Removing water-spots from side mirrors (by hand)

[EPHIOS]

Both of my side mirrors have water-spots on them. I tried cleaning it with Glass Concentrate, and claying it as well. I still can't remove it! Are there any ways to remove these spots, by HAND? Thanks!

What products have you used besides clay and glass cleaner. Have you tried scratch-x or ultimate compound? Claying will generally not remove a defect. Claying will clean the paint to get it ready for defect removal and protecting.

I do have DC1, ScratchX 2.0, Swirl Remover 2.0 and SwirlX. I tried DC1 already, with High-Tech pad. No success.

Where you using those products by hand or with a tool?

If I'm not mistaken, the side mirrors have a glass coating in front of the reflective mirror portion, thus you're essentially dealing with glass.


Might need to follow the directions in the "Glass Polishing... deep cleaning " thread.

Are we discussing the glass side, or the painted shell?

Rub the glass with some pure vinegar on a cloth or microfibre,that will remove the waterspots on the glass !

I didn't think of that.........

Are you talking about the glass itself or the outer painted shell?

I assume he means the glass itself because he tried to remove the waterspots with Glass Concentrate,you would'nt use that on laquer would you ?

I'd try a little chrome polish.
