Hi All,
Basically on my passenger window it looks like rawky water marks have been sealed in with the life shine. I wondered if there's any way I could resolve this myself by removing it just on that window and then re-applying something to put the protective covering back on?
I know there is some forum members who seriously know their stuff when it comes to car detailing and have either taken their car to a professional detailer, or done it themselves, so I was really looking for some suggestions of products or detailers etc.

If its not coming off with a standard glass cleaner get some detailing clay and wipe the window down with that, should remove any marks.
-
Thanks for the reply.
Would that remove the lifeshine from the window too? Is there a product I can then use to put that back on?
Sorry to sound really thick on the subject but I don't really know much about detailing a car properly. Cleaning with a sponge is about as technical as I'd get :grin:

It probably would remove any coating but if the marks are within the coating you'll need to remove it to get rid of them. I dont know too much about lifeshine kit but you should have gotten a bag with the products used in it. I think they call it glass guard, have a root about in the bag and see if its there.

As said try claying the window, and then maybe a bit of CarPro Ceri which is a glass polish to get any other residue off. Really have to work it into the glass to get a perfect finish.
After that reseal the window with either a GTechniq or similar window sealant.
This kit has it all in one!

Good luck! :smiley:

That's superb thank you both for the terrific info.
I will have a root through my life shine bag to see what's in there and I will get my hands on the clay and also I'm going to get one of those kits too.
The marks are going to bug me so I'll have a read into how to use these items to remove it, clean it all up nice and then put a coating back on.
Thanks again :smiley:

If you paid to get this done from the dealer take it back and get them to sort it . after all it costs lots .
