Removing hard water spots on new MR
Thanks to all- I have clay barred the s$%^ out of the window, no go. Washed it, etc. No change. Tonight I'll try the 000 steel wool/wax suggestion/s if I get home in time to mess w/ it. Very frustrating tho for a "new" car to have this prob.

Try the vinegar first. Its a non-abrasive method.

I am a Professional Detailer, Use steel whool, and a razor blade, Make sure too use a window cleaner for lubercation while doing this process! You can also use a clay bar. And after doing the above steps take a wax that has a strong cleaning agent and apply sparingly and whipe it off!
There is only 1 way to remove all the spots. Acid Wash your car. Go to Lowes or a detail shop, buy a bottle of acid wash for cars & do it. It takes about 30 minutes, all the waterspots will be gone on your window & paint & carbon. My MR came with so many when I got it new it was incredible. I tried 0000 brillo pads on the windows, clay bars, everything, none of which worked worth a damn. Just make sure to re-wax your car shortly afterwards. It will sparkle so nice. Pm me if you need examples.
I am having a hell of a time removing hard water spots from rear window glass on my new (one week old) 06 MR. The salesman advised me that for whatever reason, my car (and 3 other evos) sat on the lot for close to a year. Exposed to elements the whole time. Ugggh! Anyone know of a good removal technique for this prob? Tried traditional auto glass cleaners to no avail. Otherwise, lovin it!!!
Try that CLR stuff you see advertised on the TV. If it is only the windows, that is a good bet to work. But apply it with cloth so as to keep it off the painted surfaces.
