I've just washed my MINI Junior and I have water spotting on a few windows. I can't seem to get it off with Stoners glass cleaner. Suggestions, please!

I use a squigee on mine, if you have one just squigee the water off after your final rinse, but before you dry. Hope this helps.

try a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water. should do the trick. if that doesn't work, go 100% vinegar.

I would be honored if stole my color combo. The only thing that will separate our twins are your driving lights.

Beautiful tint job Fins!

I just got the tinting completed on my baby a few hours ago. Pooky Jr. has
5% tint on the rear 3 windows, the windshield visor and the sunroofs. And the front
side windows were 50% tint. It looks great, I'll post pics when I get a chance.
