    M85 - Can Be used To Remove Water Spots From Glass?

    My question is as above. I understood that most people have successfully used M04 to remove water sports from exterior glass, but sadly it is not available where I am located.

    What do you guys think? Btw, will be using a ROB to work the product in as well.
    yep, so little posts, 'cause you guys have have made it easier for me, thanks!

    Try it and see what you think. I have used to do so...

    However, the reasoning to use #4 is because it features a larger abbrasive that can cut into the water etching easy. (#4 is gritty to the touch where as #85 is fine to the touch).

    It was also recomended to use #4 by hand for the windows. So you may try both, esp since windows can have tricky angles.

    Sadly, I do not have access to #4 here ( local MG distributor doesn't bring 'em in ). So is #85 a good, safe replacement for #4 for usage on windows ( in the aspect of removing watermarks )?

    Sorry, I actualy meant try applying by hand and by machine to see which works better with the #85.

    As far as if it will work.... As Th0001 said, #4 was prefered for a reason. So I would just clay the glass if you can, then give #85 a try. Not going to hurt anything by trying.

    Formulated to be used for heavy swirl/ sanding marks removal on clear coated cars. #4 would be used on single stage. Least that is how I have understood it.

    Meguiar's history is in making products for car assembly lines and body shops, (not Consumer products, we didn't start this until 1973 and we started in 1901, that means most of our history was making product for what we call the Professional side of the industry, not the Consumer side of the industry).

    M85 is primarily for removing sanding marks after wet-sanding in body shops where fresh paint has been sprayed. Detailers also use this product in the reconditioning industry.
