I have white water spots/deposits on my windows...and wonder how to remove them?? I tried 'lime away' to no avail, and scraping with a razor works to some effect...but not totally and I have to scrape hard, I'm afraid of scatching the windows..
any suggestions??

Try vinegar. If that doesnt work I know a window polishing kit will work. Its pretty involved. It will definately work.

I just used Bam made by Easy-Off and it worked like no other.

Spray it on a paper towel to soak it and place it on the window, let it sit for a few, wipe it off. Watch the paint, it wont mess it up but could dull it if you dont wash it off right away with clear water.

EZ off will also remove powder coating. I would be very careful around paint. I am not sure of the Bam though.

4 aut guage steel wool, its made for polishing glass and chrome. Use hot soapy water with it and just polish away, you'll be surprised on how well it works.

Ez-off will but Bam is a houshold cleaner for water and rust stain removal.
