Default Best way to remove water spots from side mirrors and black bar between t-tops?

Those are the only places I have waterspots, including the little black triangles. Vinegar did nothing. What can I go to the store or autoshop and buy to fix this? That takes Zaino out of the solutions, cause I know that's the first thing that would be posted <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> Can I use a claybar on the mirrors??

Waterless carwash, 000 steel wool, and about an hour of scrubbing, dont use the steel wool on your painted black portion between the t-tops and rear hatch.

I use Liquid Glass car polish but probably any car polish will do. The "LG" is like $18 a quart. It comes in a metal can.

For the mirrors, put a dab of dish detergent in some hot, hot water and wash them again. Then be prepared to dry them with a towel. RainX on them keeps the spots off for a pretty good while. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Mirros: I use an autoglass store's own brand of window cleaner, it's great, doesn't streak or leave a residue and it eats water marks up. The autoglass place is Harmon autoglass, it is a national chain, maybe you have one in your area.

Then the pillar... I like Meguires Paint Cleaner for that stuff. It's a buffing compound that will basically take anything off from waterspots to VHT in the fenderwell.
