Default Good product to remove water spots

I had water spots all over every glass surface on my tc and was really annoyed by it. The most annoying was the windshield, as whenever a small amount of light hit it the right way I could see them everywhere. I've read a lot of other people on here have the same problem, and wanted to share the product that I found. It's called Spot-X. I think it cost me around 18 dollars with shipping, and half the bottle was enough to do all the glass surfaces on the car. This product works great, it's a little messy, but easily washes off with water(its powder that you mix with a little water and then rub the paste on the glass with their included applicator pad). I was very impressed with the results, and plan on getting water off the glass asap from now on to prevent new spots Hope this helps some other people who have the nasty water spots. BTW, I had tried everything before I tried this product, from wax to vinegar to baking soda, nothing worked.

Here is the link to their site, Spot-X

Great product. I haven't had the occasion to use it on my xA, but it worked wonders on my mom's late Geo Prizm.

I use this stuff called holy cow glass cleaner, best product I have ever found for glass, used to use invisible glass. Real hard water spots dont just come off with window cleaner though, as the stains are almost as hard as the glass itself on the hardness scale

i acutally wash the car with warm to hot water, then use cleaner wax on the glass, it takes off the spots...........also the wax keeps the water from spotting.........oh yeah i clay bar the car often too. and windex is a horrible product, it can ruin you paint, even the ammonia free stuff.
