Cleaners - Bduck - 04-02-2019
Water stains are the hardest thing to remove from glass, I found this product over 20yrs ago called Nothings Better, mine comes in a powder form which is still available. There is a paste form which some reviews indicate the powder is better. I use it on my auto & boat windshield, home windows if needed. All glass is always subject to water staining. This requires a little elbow grease & doesn't take that long to clean, satisfaction will be yours after. Also check contents label for other surface cleaning.
Next, I no longer wax a boat, once I stripped off old build up dingy yellowing of wax, I started using Pledge Multi Surface cleaner even over the paint, no worries it doesn't damage the paint. This product is also fantastic for cleaning glass with the aid of a microfiber cloth. I was fed up with windex which streaks and smears however Pledge will leave your windows clear.
Finally, I found another product for cleaning the plastic window curtains that some of use when we are fishing in colder weather aiding extending boating season. Its called 210 Plastic Cleaner & Polish. Windex is not good using on these type of curtains and paper towels leave scratch marks along with dirt buildup. This cleaner will leave the curtains clear and pliable but let's face it plastic unlike glass has a distorted look but can still see thru. Once again use a microfiber cloth when applying. My center walk thru door window at the windshield came as plexiglass. It had that dirty stained scratch look but when I applied 210 Cleaner it cleared up giving way to a see thru function again.
The 210 Cleaner and Nothings Better can be found either on Amazon or eBay, Pledge is in local stores. There are many Pledge products for different applications, besure to get the right one for the job you're doing.

Rog,
, i have found that a piece of 000 steel wool does a great job on glass of removing teh stains and spots without scratching the glass. It only works on glass, not paint

Hey Mark, I've used steel wool according to it coarseness on different jobs but I've never try it on glass. Its good to know that it won't scratch glass.

Since you do not wax your boat, how often do you use the pledge cleaner? Do you use it in the parking lot while drying off, or wait til you get home to clean and wipe?

Its purpose is a cleaner which you can apply at any time you feel. I usually don't at the lake, however at home I do 3-4 times during summer or when it starts appearing in a need for a good cleaning. Lake time is enjoyment time not cleaning for me. My boat is a fishing boat not a ski boat fancied with glitter.
