Have you tried CLR or Lime-Away?

 

[jmaxj]

awesome works great on it, so does mothers dry wipe.

Vinegar. works great, and not too aggressive. We use it at work quite often.

There is a product called Duckee that you can get at RV stores and some boat places. Works great to get the hard water off of my boat.

If the sprinklers hit the cars, nightmare! I use Vinegar too, having detailed cars-it works the best. How could that have happened? How close is their house to yours?

 

[Brett]

Vinegar, as others have said

 

[Amy]

Does Vinegar work on hardwater stains on your house windows too? Mine are REALLY bad and it drives me nuts...doesnt ever seem like there is a solution but to repalce the whole window.

I use lime-away and a little scruber on our shower door and it's awesome.

dilute the piss out of lime away, and keep it away from alloy wheels.

The right thing to do is go to a boat shop and get some Hull Acid. Follow with a polish and wax.

Um you need a new windshield anyway, good excuse to replace it. We have been using Kaboom on our auto glass at work that comes water stained from the factory, seems to work pretty good.

What about WD40?

 

[jdub]

WD works for everything. When in doubt!

 

[Herzog]

No kidding? WD40?

 

[waynehartwig]

When we moved up here from PG, I cleaned our shower with WD40 and it made it look awesome! I just sprayed it, let it sit for a few minutes, then used a soft scrub type pad and scrubbed it all away. You might be able to just use the WD40 a few times without scrubbing, but it's not hard scrubbing...more of a wiping.

EDIT: I just don't know how well it will work on the side of a car and if it will mess up the paint or not.

WD-40 also works great on bugs and road tar.

 

[Herzog]

That's cool. We'll have to try the WD40 on our windows.

Does the wd-40 or the vinegar hurt the paint at all? I have some hard water issues due to our condos feeling like they have to water the cars in the parking lot....
