I even carried back some CLR Water Spot cleaner at 13 plus Aud from Aussie land last week. Marginal effectiveness while this 13 ringgit one works much better. 

You can use your Autoglym after using the waxco!

Yes. Says not to apply on the wiped area. Don't know why. But gonna do a bit on the rear windscreen and see. 

According to some info from the internet, the wipped area have micro scratches that we dont see, if the liquid is applied to the area, the acid will get into the micro scratches and cause the glass to turn blur or white. Looks like this product is acidic, so avoid  touching the paint as well.

My car has bad water stain on all the glass surfaces due to years of neglect. Tried all sort of cleaners, ploaih, steel wool and nothing worked effectively. Finally found one cleaner from Malaysia Mr DIY that works immediately. Sharing with those with the same problem.

Was your skoolmate happen to be the one, after learning to use a test pen, used one to test a big cable wanting to tap electricity for use in some substation, but the big cable was carrying 22kV!

Hearsay the bugger survived with some roasted skin. :D yeah in the 80s..

Bought some cerium oxide powder. Hand polished using a rectangular polishing pad with the powder, followed by orbital polisher with Waxco glass polish. Managed to get rid of the small hazy area on the windscreen. Now all good!

I am scared of over doing it with electric polisher and leaving distortions.
