Pink Putra: A new lease of sight.......

[DarkAccoon]

Today I am gonna show you what can be done with Off The Shelve (OTS) products for water mark.

Subject:
Rear windscreen of Putra. Anyone whom owns sedan cars will know that watermark tend to be very very prominent especially on the rear glass (but not limited to the rear lar, still got front and side)
As seen, morning dew/mist is best to show watermarks.

Look at the amount of dirt on the thing....berapa ribu tahun takde cuci.....

Actually only two days takde cuci.... industrial area.... memang teruk acid rain.

Now comes the OTS Hero called FORMALHERO..... the only thing that differs this from other watermark removal liquid is........ read the label and you will see AMMONIA FREE.

BUT, DO NOT USE THIS ON FRONT WINDSCREEN, unless you want wiper marks to appear

Treated half half. Left half is treated whereas right half is just left as it is.

After treatment, water just sticks to the windscreen like girls to diamonds. This is after i try to wipe it off with my barehands....

After treating the entire glass, comes.......what da heck is that white stuff?

Again another OTS product that interests me, "anti mist". Come on, be honest, we all hate morning mist on the windscreen in the morning.

After "Anti Mist" was buff off, u get.....

Squeaky clean, shiny shine glass

Spray water....

Water glides off

Spray more water

More water glide off.....

Spray front windscreen with water.... water still glide off.. (this is only cleaned and Opti-Sealed, no "watermark removal" done here for fear of wipermarks.)

For 9gag fans

Answer to him up there.....

Dun you just hate to drive after a rain when your side mirrors are like this....

Makes seeing cars a bit difficult.

Washed, Opti-Seal, buff

Spray water now....

Mother off...... it does not get wet....

Spray more water... same results

WARNING: Never ever ever use glass cleaner, RainX, or acid on your side mirrors, these are plastic, not glass. Based on experience, after using RainX or similar products, the reflection returns a hazy cloudy reflection which cannot be polished off, cleaned off. And I had to resort to change the mirror.

Rest of the car is just washed with OSREN Bubble & Wax

Time spend: 45 minutes (inclusive of washing the car)
Satisfaction level: Not bad for OTS products.

You should also mention do not use on rear windscreen which has a wiper. It is not ammonia based but acid so use wisely and avoid glass areas with scratches.

Yeah, I should have mentioned not to use on any glass with wipers.... instead of just the front.

Nice informative post bro... Can I ask, why will those product create wiper marks and how does wiper marks look like? I think it should be okay since it is just a cleaner and not something applied on... Haven't try though...

 

[DarkAccoon]

Veloc: The Anti-Mist thingy wun create wiper marks as its just a cleaner, However the watermark remover will. Tried and tested based on experience.

Wiper marks are marks along the wiper's path. It is normally fine scratches that is caused by usage of wiper when there is little water and lots of dirt on the glass. Erm...... i think u google wiper marks, u should be able to find plenty of examples.

so, to clean and clear all windows (except those with wipers), can use all 3?
and side mirror use only Opti-Seal?

Yes, you are sorta correct.
To clean and clear all windows, you only need the watermark removal.
The PG Anti Mist glass cleaner was just testing the anti mist effect.
The Opti Seal is used to cause the water beading effect which minimized future water marks and its safer than RainX. You dun get wiper judder when u use Opti Seal. But RainX or equivalent, the wiper will judder.

One thing bout using the watermark removal liquid is do not let it dry on the glass, fast fast rinse with a lot lot lot of water.

hmmm.... dun wanna take the risk. It does say glass cleaner and most modern headlamps are plastic. Unless your headlamps are glass, i would reckon not to take the risk.
