How to get rid of "Hard Water" Marks?

Post by MotleyCrue » Fri Apr 24, 2009 2:39 pm

Anyone have any solutions?

I mostly notice them on the Chrome Rims and windows area while I'm washing. I can wipe them off the rims once the water dries, but it is impossible to get them off the glass.

Just a few suggestions:

1) 50/50 mix of vinegar and water... and a little elbow grease
2) http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/mer ... t_Count=16
3) Detailing clay

i think someone makes an inline filter system to soften the water. I'd get one, but i'm stuck in an apartment

Clay seems to work best for me.

Yep, claybar always works for me. I only use the Zaino claybar.
