Water spot remover suggestions for windows, paint on car
Q. Aloha from Hawaii. I have a water spot remover problem. There is so much calcium in the water, it has ruined my vehicles paint job and windows. What is the best way to remove it from a vehicles paint/windows? Any suggestions?
Please Help.

A. I have the same problem so I researched it and found what I needed to get rid of the problem I had. It's called HAWAIIAN SHINE and can be found at Checkers and local stores.

! If you find and decide to use Hawaiian Shine Waterspot Remover, please ensure you use LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER with it. Do not let it dry on the paint or it will damage the clearcoat.
I got the best results by using a wet microfiber cloth, pouring a bit of the remover on it and then applying it to the car, making sure the section I apply it to stays wet. Then rinse thoroughly. Twice if necessary.

A. We had water spots on the boat and got them off easily with See Spot Go.
I used it on my sister's windows, that had been hit by the sprinklers, and have since used it on shower glass, car windows and paint, and haven't had any problems.
It is available on the internet. Good luck! By the way, we were just in Hawaii 2 weeks ago, had I known, I would've brought you a bottle!

A. Try white distilled vinegar ⇦in bulk on eBay or Amazon [affil links] will not remove stage 2 or 3 water spots - for them you must get out the big guns!
