I used CLR on my '85 when I first got it. Worked like a charm.

Vinegar & water will get the spots off, Invisible Glass will make it just that. I'm not sure why, but I've never seen a glass cleaner like it once the spots are gone.

Will the vinegar take off acid rain spots etched by the sun? Not the hard water/lime deposits.

The Douche formula also works wonders on Gel waterspots.

The product above is basically a polishing compound. If you already have some lying around try that first. I did this to my glass (3M finishing compound) and I've had multiple people ask me if I installed new glass.

Water spots are lime deposits, so you will need an acidic solution to cut it. This can be found in many products - bathroom cleaners, etc.


No fair using logic and science.

This stuff works. Then put some RainX on and it will be a long time until it happens again.

On this same 1998 Air Nautique, the windshield is horribly water spotted. I have tried a lot of products, nothing touches it. any ideas what to try to get it clear again?
