Best way to remove deposits from glass?

[IITUFFTOBEATII]

Every time I find a thread asking this question I respond by saying the razor blades and vinegar methods are a waste of time and to use acid. Well I finally took some pics of a tank cleaning to use as evidence.

Here is the product I used:




Here is the tank before:


I sprayed the tank down with water, sprayed on the acid, wiped with a rag, and rinsed.

Here is the tank 5 min later:


Here is the tank dry:


It took longer to dry the tank than it did to clean it.

So there you have it, indisputable evidence of how quickly and thoroughly a mild acid will clean a used tank.

very clean!

Can't even see the tank it's so clean. Looks like the frame is floating in mid air. Good stuff.

WOW!! That is sweet. I saw this tank in person before it was cleaned and it looked like a piece of garbage.

Wow! That's amazing.

I knew acid would work, but didn't know it would work that well!

I might have to try that.

Does it affect the seals at all?

Have you use this to clean your wheels? If so, does it eat into the clear coat of the wheel?

There is no appreciable effect on the silicone.

I have never driven a car nice enough to have to clean the wheels with anything more than soap and water.

Where can you buy that?

total resurection...Good find, man!

I would think they'd have that at an autoparts store.

I am a car detailer and that can be some nasty stuff. If you let it sit on cleared wheels it can leave marks. But if you keep it really wet and rinse it really good there are no ill effects. I dont see why there would be any problems using it as long as it doesnt sit too long and its rinsed extremely well.

WOW, looks good. Did you wear gloves when wiping the tank down? Any significant fumes?
