Bore water stains on windscreen??
 

Stupid sprinkler at work came on and showered the back row of the carpark with bore water including my car. =( I left it over night as I got home quite late but now my windscreen has these stupid stains I can't get off (like water droplet outlines but only the outlines are visible). Other than kicking it in and getting the insurance to replace it how can I make them go away? I scrubbed the hell out of it with everything I could find but they're still there. You can't feel them at all just see it.

Not parking there again, should make the bastards pay for it as I had no idea there was even sprinkers there.

Seemed to come off on all the painted panels... phew.

What have you tried so far? Just to help narrow down any options.

I would try a very mild cut and polish on one of the droplets just to see if it works.

Have you tried Autoglym Glass Polish? I've found it gets a lot of marks of the glass that normal auto glass cleaner won't.

Razor blade?

Brick + Insurance??

Metho or alco wipes.

nah tried some metho, water, one of those green rough house hold sponges, won't lift it.

I'll try the glass polish stuff.

How would you go about getting it off paint as I noticed the spoiler has still some faint outlines of a few droplets?

Cheers.

Clay Bar ;)

hah clay bar fixes all. Cheers.

haha, 3 things are cetain in life: Death, Taxes, and Rich loving clay bars! :D
Now go write a success story about the clay bar getting the bore water off iyour car in Rich's 'Clay Bar' thread, Olis

CLR ....don`t get it on paint !

Spray on oven cleaner, just make sure it is washed off your paint quickly if it gets on it, car detailer told me this one years ago, great for getting water/red dirt stains off & won't hurt glass.

I have the same problem, tried the clay bar but even that didnt work :(
Let us know how u go, I'm interested in finding out what fixes this. Its been annoying me for the last 8 months

CLR will fix it, use a small sponge and dap it on neat(un-dilluted)...carefully, then wipe off with cotton ragg and then wash car.....if its really tough leave the CLR on for 10mins before wiping off.

Spray on oven cleaner sounds like it would work...hard core but !

Yeah guy at work whos forrester got covered said CLR too, used it on his tail lights to get it off.

Can't even use cut and polish cause it's clear coated paint. It's not too noticable on the paint unless you're looking for it, but the windscreen is friggin noticable.
