What to do with granular dots on car glass?

Use a soft cloth dipped in turpentine to wipe them off, then clean with a dry cloth. Turpentine can remove paint, while a dry cloth can make the glass shine brighter. Paint marks on the glass can be removed with turpentine or nail polish remover. Spray cleaner on the entire glass surface and cover it with plastic wrap to soften hardened stains. After 10 minutes, remove the plastic wrap and wipe with a damp cloth dipped in cleaner. First apply vinegar to the paint marks, then wipe with a dry cloth. Using the edge of a blade to scrape is also a good method. Lighter paint marks can be removed with cold tea using a cotton swab.
When small granular spots appear on the car glass, I find it quite common, usually caused by accumulated stains from tree sap, pollen, or industrial dust. My approach is to first rinse the surface with a water spray to soften the spots, then apply a dedicated car glass cleaner, and gently wipe with a sponge or microfiber cloth, avoiding excessive force to prevent scratching the glass. For resin marks left by high summer temperatures, I mix warm water with dish soap and gently scrub, letting it sit for a few minutes before rinsing clean. While driving, I pay extra attention to roadside conditions and try to avoid parking under trees for extended periods, as these spots can blur vision during rain, increasing driving risks. After each car wash, I apply a thin layer of glass rain repellent to help prevent the spots from reappearing and maintain clearer driving visibility. Regular maintenance is crucial—I spend 15 minutes each month on a simple glass cleaning routine, which saves money and hassle while ensuring driving safety remains the top priority.
