Will start looking again. Good product | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 324 Member | | Member Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 324 | in the 50's we cleaned windshilds at the pumps, some "BonAmi", (scouring powder). "Bar Tenders Helper" or a few others. Now i keep some "Comet" in the trunk. works great for road film.
a folded mecnics rag, wetted, sprinkle on rag and scrub the window, turn the rag to a clean side and wipe clean.

gazim - ive worked at a hardware store for 2 1/2 years and weve always carried bonami and the other similar products like comet, bar tenders helper, etc. just try a local (real) hardware store they should carry it.
thanks everyone. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 172 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 172 | the hard water or water spots or whatever you call them still wont come off with the bonami. any other suggestions? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 1,002 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 1,002 | White vinegar 10% acid, Coke is suppose to work on rust, CLR, just don't get on the paint. btw I wouldn't use Comet or any thing else on my windows unless it says it's guaranteed not to scratch.

Put it on in the shade and scrub with a clean cloth. Also good for the shower and coffee pot
