Default Clay Bar

Wow! Clay barred my hood today and it was amazing! I plan on doing the rest of my truck little by little. It's hard work but well worth it.
On another note: I've been trying to find a way to remove water spots from my wind shield, damn sprinklers! I finally tried some Bar Keepers Friend, worked like a champ. My glass is brand new again! I just put some in with a little water to make a paste then used a green pad and scrubbed the glass. Rinsed real well and dried it!

I Clay barred my truck by myself in one sitting including my tonneau cover, NEVER AGAIN! Those clay bars are amazing, leave the paint so smooth.

I have tried just about everything to get the water spots of my windshield with no luck. I've used rubbing compound, lime away, windex even toothpaste (someone posted toothpaste works). Where do you get bar keepers friend? I'm willing to try it. I bought my 2006 about six months ago and the only thing I can't stand is the water spots.(I'm hoping they are just water spots)

what did you use as a follow up after clay bar? Typically it leaves a ton of swirls.

I got it from Home Depot! Just take a small container with some hot water (not too much just enough to make it pasty) Add the powder until its thick like watery toothpaste. I then used a old kitchen sponge green side and scrubbed.

I used Mequires paste wax and a buffer.
