About two months ago one of the valves on my sprinkler system decided to stick open. I was at work, the car parked in the driveway. the water misted on the car from 4 am until almost 4 pm.....in 105 degree heat. The water in my neighborhood is very hard, to the point where it practically etched into the windows and even the paint. It's not just spots either, it's pretty much the entire window and sections of paint.
I've tried washing the windows with Windex, a couple different glass polishes, Simple Green, Lysol bathroom cleaner, vinegar and even used all of these with 0000 steel wool.
I've tried washing the paint with a couple basic car washes, a tried taking a clay-bar to it, the buffer with polishing compound didn't work, the buffer with fine-cut cleaner STARTED to work. My next step is trying medium-cut cleaner, and if that doesn't work, I guess it's wet-sand.
Does anybody have any other ideas or maybe a trick up their sleeve?
I really don't want to spend money taking it to a detailer.
Thanks
Mike
