Default Severe hard water Spots What to DO

Im guessing a clay-bar system would do the job but it WILL be a lot of work. Sounds like you are washing it the correct way so once those spots are gone, get good coat of the wax of your choice on it, and you should be good to go.As an aside, I have heard that white vinegar will remove hard water spots but I am NOT advocating washing a car with it Perhaps some spot treatment using a soft cloth would get them up unless you have a lot of them and its back to the clay-bar.

Before going to the clay bar, try using white vinegar first. After a normal washing, use a 50/50 mix first 9 (with water). Then go full strength if necessary. Rinse completely.
