and the old lady didn't even Female Dog,, excuse me I mean when my lovely wife caught me at rhe kitchen sink using bartenders friend on the outside of the mds window she accepted it as av care and feeding time I liked that.... I wonder whats best on the inside???? i gave it 4 passes with windex but I have respect for the defroster strips... it almost seemed like the windex etched em up a little any how first try with bartenders friend i.v got hundreds of little waterspots on all my windows that im going to find a way to get rid of

OK,correct me if I am wrong but what you are trying to say is that the windex didn't get all the waterspots off your rear window and you are having a hard time finding something that will??? (y)
And your dog is expecting pups and your wife is all excited about it? ;)
And your friend (who is a bartender) came over to help with this project ? ;)
And you made 4 passes on your truck today with the defroster on right? ;)
OK,I think I got all of that!!! :cool:

Let me kill this confusing thread >:D

I do think he meant he was cleaning his rear window inside.

His wife did not mind.

He used windex on the inside portion.

He used a product called Bartenders Friends on the outside.

I have no idea what the results were but his dog is having puppies.

drove 684 mile round trip from Lafayette LA. to Mobile Al. and back saw 12 avalanches and not a single amber glow on any of them except for mine............bummer
most of them going the opposite way. the few i passed and waved at looked at me like i was crazy and when they saw the Louisiana license plate they probably figured they were right

Know the feeling Zeeya. I passed the twin sister to my AV, absolutely identical. I waved and grinned, and the couple in the other AV looked at me like I was nuts.

Some people don't get it.

Don't remember where you're from, but I reported in another thread that while on my way UP to Georgia and back from Orlando I counted 29 Avs and 1 Ext. None had amber drl's. Don't blink, there seem to be a lot of them in Ga for some reason. My wife did not enjoy my "count the Avs" game as much as I did :(

Back to topic (whatever it is ??? )...hilarious pic pdxkevin!

I ain't following this tread. Is it about puppies or spots?

From just reading the first post, you would never know... ;D

Anyhow, most of the time I also don't get much of a reaction from Av drivers when I flash or wave.
I give a ;) or a (y) and they are normally like ???

My wife is starting to get into the game. Who ever spots the most untagged AVs in an outing gets a backrub that night. Dealer lots do not count.

Trust me, you throw in the chance at a free backrub and the game gets pretty competitive.

OK, I think I finally figured out this thread :rolleyes:

It has something to do with cleaning the windows at your bartenders Kitchen sink :0:


I think Ducky is the best for removing water spots.

+snowflood, the bartenders friend is a powder like ajax, but for other stuff, its at the grocery store, powder in a can,, i use it on the windows to rub off all those spots. rinse good and when you wash ,,i think the car wash soap leaves the spots so once a month i clean the windows......not on the inside!!!... mines black wash it....you gotta chamois or spots everywhwre.....try bartenders friend.. keep it off the paint and inside..its good stuff

For waterspots on paint or glass...

Try vinegar....this will dissolve the mineral deposits...afterwards though you may see a spot remaining this is where the mineral deposit etched the clearcoat on the paint......This can only be removed by using abrasive products like swirl mark removers etc etc etc....

They are made from pretty thick copper.....the vinegar will eventually eat at them but it will make them shiny too.....

Probably take a long time but you should not get water spots on inside though.....
