Detailing clay works pretty well on water spots. Also, for the really crusted-on water spots, that have been there a LONG time, I use One Grand Special Touch. It's non-abrasive and it really does a good job on water spots...

I ordered mine on-line. Couldn't find it at any auto parts stores. I don't think any of our sponsors carry this product to here's where I ordered it...

They were running a special for free shipping at the time... not now of course... I think shipping is 6 bucks. Pretty good product for $16 shipped.

One Grand Special Touch...

P.S. ... It does seem to last forever. I've had my bottle for two years and it's still half full...

***Moderators... if this is a sponsor infraction, please feel free to delete...***

One thing you might want to try first... mix up a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and distilled water in a spray bottle. Then, (not in direct sunlight), spray the water-spotted areas with the mixture and wipe with a soft towel.

I've used this method (before I discovered Special Touch), and it does work, if you can stand the smell of the vinegar... You'll need to wax or seal after either method of spot removal...
