Water Spot Removal

[TheEnder]

Does anyone have any suggestions for water spot removal on glass and possibly paint? My windshield and windows constantly look dull because of the massive amount of water spots, i’ve tried everything. Any help?

Not sure if you tried distilled water. Keep hearing how good it is at dissolving water spots.

I use Turtlewax Ice and I feel your pain. It seems that keeping the vehicles waxed requires many towels for drying.

Anytime I wash, I dry. That's the only answer I've found. I have noticed the spotting is a lot worse after rinsing with public water and well water than after a good downpour from up above. I'm considering using the leaf blower to blow dry it.

When i first started to wash my truck i let it sit with the water on it in 105 degree heat in the sun, baking them onto EVERYTHING. And yeah, i started drying it too late i guess

Do it, you will wonder how you waited this long. I fire up my backpack blower and dry the whole truck. Rims and tires too. Then just one Microfiber towel to touch up drips from the mirrors and door handles. Works amazing.

Mark V Splash water spot remover, it works really well. Definitely have to be careful what you get it on and wear gloves because it's pretty powerful stuff.

Youre welcome! It's good stuff, professional detailers use it. It literally melts the water spots away....

Vinegar also works and is safe and cheap. You just need something acidic to dissolve the alkaline minerals like calcium.
There's a thread on here somewhere about water filters to prevent this I'll see if I can find it.

Our municipal water is groundwater that percolates through limestone, its so hard that water heaters last like 5 years lol.

Edit: here it is. I'm real tempted by a filter those water spots drive me nuts!
