Ok. Anyone know how to remove water spots on the windows of a boat? Don’t want to damage them but would like to get them spot free.

Those water spots have driven my OCD brain crazy for 5 years. I have tried everything under the sun....everything. The last method I tried was Marine31 polish, polishing pad and my buffer. Lots of elbow grease and I got a 50% improvement. I’m afraid to try any rougher compounds besides polish but that’s where I’m at now. If anyone has a better solution I’d love to hear it! Thank

There are products on the market specifically designed to remove water spots. Have you tried any of those?

I have noticed the same thing on the car,rear privacy glass the worst......I honestly think that they are etched from pollution , but like I said if there is a cleaner.

Haven’t tried anything yet! But White Vinegar was recommended on a couple of sites. I also saw that oxalic acid works. Have to keep water running on it though. Will start with vinegar and move to a water/oxalic acid solution.

Barkeepers friend cleanser.
Mix a little into a paste and use a micro fiber cloth.

Have a look at the ingredients, I believe it might contain the oxalic you were talking about......
