vinegar?
I keep hearing to use this for water spots. Do u dilute or is there anything special to od when using? And will it mess up your paint at all? Seems alittle acidic

Waterspots need that acid wash as soon as you can! like what davidv said, 50/50 solution with water. I used this mixture with soap and water and it worked fine also. Just make sure that you are going to wax the paint after you are done!
I claybarred my car last november and it still has the glass like smoothness to my car. Well thats cause i wash my car every other week and use quick detailer every other day.

I'm bumping this thread to find out if the clay bar can be used on windows. I've been noticing unwashable waterstain on my mirrors and windows lately. So does the clay bar work on windows and is it safe?

What also works for waterspots or the tracks from windshield washers is rain-x if prepped properly- meaning you scrubbed the windshield with invisible glass beforehand.

Rain-X or a similar rain dispersant all the way - it'll last for weeks and weeks!!! This stuff lifts everything off your windows and increases the visibility/clarity any weather and the obvious benefit is lowers the need to use your wipers in the rain as the water beads off the windows (I'm a bit of a worry coz I love to watch the water zoom up the windscreen as well - LOL). A good habit to get into is using the rain dispersant on your windows after waxing your car, also will remove any tiny bits of wax residue and the obvious smearing.
Back on topic, I use Clay Bar on other people's cars to remove water spots. I never have any water spots on my car. And yes, Clay Bar really is that good.
Happy cleaning.
