Your a gentleman. But will vinegar remove this wet patch from my drivers seat :tongue:
On glass and mirrors, I have had success with Barkeepers Friend. Works way better than vinegar, clr, anything. Takes off really stubborn water spots. Don't use it on paint. Got it at kmart.
Good luck.

If you can't remove them with clay or vinegar/water they need to be mechanically abraded with a polish/pad and a machine. The reason is because the hard water etches in to the clear like a scratch.
Sacramento is known for it's horrible hard water to boot :wink:

This is what I use for the mirrors and windows. Try a 1 to 4 ratio (1 part vinegar and 4 parts water). You can go stronger if needed, but this seems to work just fine for me.

Really, try barkeepers friend. Work it with a sponge and you will be shocked how well it works. I was. It does not scratch the glass and leaves it very clean once rinsed off.
It is safe for glass stove tops too if you do that sort of thing.
My next step was calling a professional detailer to polish the windows. But for a couple bucks and twenty minutes, I have lots of clean windows!

I tried the vinegar/water on my paint. It didn't work for me as the others have said it was etched into the clearcoat/paint. Got most of it out w/ a buffer..would say 80% of it. I ended up repainting the car (for other reasons).

That happened to one of my cars when the sprinkler at some public parking went off in the middle of the summer day.
My insurance company cut me a check for $5k for the repaint.
It's nice to have comprehensive coverage without the deductable.
If they are "Nasty" then you should probably contact a pro to have them polished out. Give "doot" a PM here on nsxprime to see if he can help you out!
