Extreme hard water stains on glass
Hi all. Wondering if a polishing compound limke m105 or such would be good to remove these water stains on a bathroom glass shower using a DA? Would it etch or scratch the glass? Any suggestions are very welcomed!

That's funny because I was wondering the same thing recently. We squeegee our glass doors after each shower, but the water spots have always been there and windex/vinegar does nothing to it.

The pad in that article is the Meguiar's 3" microfiber cutting pad. You can also probably use the Finishing Microfiber Pad with great results.

Since it's your shower door and not your car, I'd feel free to use an acid cleaner, like CLR, unless your shower is natural stone. If your shower is porcelain tile, use the chemicals. Why make the job harder than it has to be.

I would recommend you doing the following.
get some 000 steel wool
clean the windows that way ( it will buff it to a shine without scratching it)
then take Rainx put it on a old sock and wipe it on the window let it haze and then wipe that off
itll make the window spotless and protect it from water stains for at least 6 months.

I would not advise using steel wool... as the saying goes "use the right tool for the job".
You can use a standard polish made for automotive paint, like Meguiar's M105, but if that does not do the trick, you can use a dedicated glass polish like CarPro Ceriglass which contains Cerium Oxide abrasives.

FWIW: I've had pretty good results with "Glass Scrub" on my cars. I applied it by hand.
