Default Re: cleaning water spots

Being that "Water" spots are caused by the calcium in water, and vinegar dissolves calcium, vinegar is an in- expensive fix to this problem. I have used vinegar to clean numerous Cars, including Corvettes, boats, and water craft with excellent results. First wash vehicle with a good automotive type soap and cold water, rinse off with cold water, and while still wet, apply white vinegar straight from the bottle with a soft cloth. Let stand for about 2 minutes, and rinse off with cold water again. Obviously this need to be done away from the sun or any heat, and the surface will need to be waxed, because the vinegar will remove any wax previuosly applied. Tough stains will have to be done twice. It works!
