Water spots

[zad0030]

Anyone know of some good water spot removers?

50/50 solution of white vinegar and distilled water. It works great and is cheap. A giant jug of white vinegar only costs a couple bucks and will last through the season.

Find somewhere to buy a polish by the name of FLITZ. That stuff is amazing. After you get the spots off. Use a good qualiy product for was and a spray maintenance to keep them away. Such as BABES Boat Brite. Let me know if you want any Babe's Boat Brite.

Ducky works pretty well also.

Yep, I can get him Ducky also.

I use the 50/50 with vinegar and then a few teaspoons of liquid wax. It makes the vinegar smell pretty, and waxes as you go. It is not enough to keep the boat waxed, however.

I find that I can use just about anything if the boat has been waxed recently. Even just using the towel on it will take most away, if the boat is wet and recently waxed.

There are some heated debates as to whether vinegar strips the wax off. I don't think it does, but the guys who wax their boats the most seem to have the least problems with water spots. That jives with my personal experience.

I have always use 50/50 mix of white vinegar and windex. Gets rid of all
hard water spots and keeps everything looking like brand new. Ducky
is too expensive for my budget.

I took you all's advise and started using the water/vinegar/wax stuff and it is great.

Thanks

Ah the sad truth about boat abuse...should be a law against it

Ditto on the water/vinegar mix and we follow it up with a quick spray wax treatment. I would like to try adding the wax to the water/vinegar mix and cut down steps of the clean-up. I was under the impression that the vinegar impacts the wax but I don't know.

water and vinegar works well. There is also polish in an orange bottle, it takes them right off. Forgot what it was called, but can look tonight.
