Letter 21739 Water spot remover suggestions for windows, paint on car +++ Aloha from Hawaii. I have a water spot remover problem. There is so much calcium in the water, it has ruined my vehicles paint job and windows. What is the best way to remove it from a vehicles paint/windows? Any suggestions? Please Help. Kate Malheiro - Ewa Beach, Hawaii +++ I have the same problem so I researched it and found what I needed to get rid of the problem I had. It's called HAWAIIAN SHINE --> and can be found at Checkers and local stores. Yolander Vines - Waipahu, Hawaii +++ We had water spots on the boat and got them off easily with See Spot Go --> I used it on my sister's windows, that had been hit by the sprinklers, and have since used it on shower glass, car windows and paint, and haven't had any problems. It is available on the internet. Good luck! By the way, we were just in Hawaii 2 weeks ago, had I known, I would've brought you a bottle! Vickie Dimond - Centerville, Utah July 1, 2007 Try white distilled vinegar. It is the best and cheapest way to remove any water spot stains safely on anything. Stephen Jester - Riverbank, California October 17, 2007 If you find and decide to use Hawaiian Shine Waterspot Remover, please ensure you use LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER with it. Do not let it dry on the paint or it will damage the clearcoat. I got the best results by using a wet microfiber cloth, pouring a bit of the remover on it and then applying it to the car, making sure the section I apply it to stays wet. Then rinse thoroughly. Twice if necessary. R. Bracey - Ewa Beach, Hawaii June 4, 2008 I had the same problem with my windows and shower doors. A friend recommended a product called Bruce's GSR [link is to product info on Amazon] so I found the savior to my problem. The stuff works great and it was pretty cheap. Nicole Costa - Sacramento, California June 19, 2008 Not all surfaces are the same. Windows are different than painted surfaces so one product can't be used on both to be able to do the best job. I have had great results with a product called Pumix. They have separate applications that are non acidic. This is better than anything i have used. Eric Elbert Pumix Inc. - Fresno, California July 16, 2008 I have been doing google searches to find a product that I found in Hawaii that was the BEST. However, I can't find the item. It was one of those home-based businesses and this guy approached me at the car wash one day and asked if he could show me this great product. I said, "whatever." Well, it was really amazing. It was at least $45 bottle per bottle but the stuff was great and now I can't find it anywhere. It was a milky color in a clear bottle and I sprayed it on and then used microfiber rags to buff it off....AMAZING!!!! You would think with it being a home-based business...they would be advertising all over the internet but I haven't been lucky enough to find somebody that sells the product. I guess a name would be nice but I don't remember. My cars always looked hot in Hawaii and would like to continue that even though I'm in Kansas. If anyone knows what this item is called . . .? Jenny Garrett-Schoch - Manhattan, Kansas July 20, 2008 Hi, Jenny. There are many otherwise powerful cleaners that you can't get anymore because they are regulated due to smog, carcinogeneity, destruction of the ozone layer and other valid reasons. My first car was a convertible with bright white naugahyde upholstery but very greasy power top mechanisms in those days. I remember household detergent mostly making a gray stain when removing grease, then learning about carbon tetrachloride, which would instantly remove every trace of grease and tar with one quick wipe and leave it glitteringly white. If young people today saw how carbon tet removes grease, their jaws would drop in amazement -- but it's an offender on all three counts :-) The point being, you need to be very careful about buying cleaning products from people who approach you, because they can be terribly dangerous without your knowledge and leave you without recourse. Good luck with the hunt!

Its manufactured & distributed by Envirosafe Inc based in Hawaii.They also distribute to other locations so check them out :-) Andy Munro waterspot removal specialist - Rotorua, Nth Island, New Zealand December 16, 2008 Please try Ducky "The Original Water Spot Remover" Ducky was the first ever product developed specifically for this problem in 1989. Many others have since copied but none perform as well. It is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and requires no rinsing. it is also non-abrasive. you can find at most marine stores including West Marine and Boaters World or www.duckyproduct.com, E-bay --> richard romero duckyproducts - pasadena, ca ---- Ed. note: And the race to the bottom moves into overdrive . . .
