| 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? |

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

Vinegar, water, & a little soap? 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. ------------- “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Ben Franklin |

Agreed, the commercial windex brand vinegar and water glass cleaner (found easily at walmart) works like magic if you (like me) are just too lazy to take actual vinegar and water and put it in a spray bottle. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |

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. ------------- Previous: 1993 Electric Blue/Charcoal Ski Nautique Current: 2016 Ski Nautique 200 Open Bow |

The Douche formula also works wonders on Gel waterspots. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1143" rel="nofollow - Mi Bowt |

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

| 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. |
