You can also use #0000 steel wool to remove stubborn water spots from exterior glass. Be careful not to scuff the surrounding black trim.

There is another ingredient that should be added to the vinegar. Corn starch. Miw some in until it turns cloudy. The is just enough of an "abrasive" in a very soft way will not scratch at all to rub off the the mineral spots that the vinegar loosens up.

Its my grandma's recipe not mine. If you are skeptical, try it on a house window.

I have had some sort of water spots on the windows of my Excursion for a long time. I thought I had tried everything, vinegar, clay...you name it.

They drove me nuts, especially on the darker windows.

A neighbor lent me his bottle of Zaino's Glass Polish and I was amazed. It took all the spots out and made the glass look great! I have since ordered my own.

White Vinegar... straight. I put some on a wash mitt and wash the painted areas and glass. Just rinse off well afterwards... you are set!
