Grimes On The Windscreen, Windows, Side Mirros, Back Screen...


Recommended Posts

hi guys..

i have grimes on every where every glassed area..

may be i havent had enough research but i couldnt find any threads about this..

i think the ACID rain from JAPAN caused this problem...

did anyone had this problem and solved?

i heard you can use metal polish to remove them... but.... thats not firm info... it could fu%k up my windows....

can anyone give me the answers...? what product should i use.... how should i clean.... and if anyone solved... can i have a look at the final result?.....

thanks guys............

oh you cant see this grime at normal day... you will see at night when other car's head lights or street lights are reflected, at sun set or rise.....

Try steal wool. The one with the soap "built in". Make it nice and wet and keep it that way. Clean the windows with this and you will notice a big difference, especially on the front. The water will "bead" off it better.

i had the exact same problem when my 33 landed here in 2001, this grimey mist all over the windows, mirrors and headlights. headlights i used autosol (metal polish), and they came up f*&^ing shiny as, crystal clear; brilliant!

for the windows and mirrors however, as vidospace said, try the steal wool. Should work a treat. i actually used a razor blade, and it worked a charm also. But it did take me bloody ages to go over all the windows! :cool:

    • Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.
    • I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.
    • For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.
    • I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.
    • Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
