Default How to remove hardwater stains on paint???

What the ---- do i use to get rid of hardwater stains on the paint? My hatch has been sitting on the street for 3 weeks and is constantly beeing soaked with the overspray from the sprinklers. Now that this is all over the passenger side, I tried washing it and rewashing it and it wont come off, is there some sort of cleaner, wash or abrasive to get rid of this ----?

any input would be appreciated

go to the auto-parts store and look at the meguiars products. they have one called a "cleaner wax". it isn't the strongest thing on the market, but it should do the trick. make sure the surface is really clean before you start rubbing any cloth applicators or micro-fiber towells on it. then polich, and wax. it should keep it from spotting again.

yea cleaner wax will do wonder. or use "NU" something polish, It is sold in a orange can/bottle and really clean up the paint.
Use it with electric buffer will save u a lot of time and work.

Remember ot wax it after ur done.

Wire wheel on a 4.5" grinder. It will take them suckers off in no time flat.
