Good afternoon all. I have been washing my truck recently and ever since I have had it it has these horrible hard water spots I just can't get off. I tried using two products, one (forgot the brand..) did nothing, and the other (some chemical guy's paste) made my windows hazy and the water spots stayed. Any tips?
 
Cut a lemon in half and rub it hard on glass with spots
Rinse off and then use some glass cleaner
 
3d eraser. Works on glass and paint. I bought a bottle myself to freshen up the glass on my vehicles.
 
Real detail nerds will buy this sort of water softener setup that hooks to the spigot and then your hose.. no idea what they're actually called or where to buy one... but I do know that they're (imo) big bucks... last time I saw anything about one it was over 400$
 
Similar to RonD's advice, use white vinegar on a microfiber cloth, finish with glass cleaner.
 
I have hard water too. I "wax" the truck with a ceramic sealer. It helps to repel the hard water marks, Every time I wash. I use a spray detailer. Some of them, like Turtle Wax have a detailer that can be sprayed on while the surfaces are still wet. Ceramics also work on glass which makes it easier to dry.

It's no trouble really. Ceramics tend to repel dirt and grime. You will not need to wash as often.

Use diluted white vinigar. Vinigar breaks the hard.
