Hard Water Spots, Pine Tree Sap.......Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!! (mover, storage)

[LoveBoating]

We get hard water spots on our vehicle windows due to the sprinkler systems in our apt. complex. We have a garage, but it fits only one vehicle!

We still get spots on our dishes/glasses from our dishwasher, even though we use Jet Dry!

Get water spots on the windows of our boat! Sometimes we forget to wipe the windows off after we clean up the boat after an outting on the St. John's. The water at the storage is full of minerals/hard water!

Sap from the Pine trees at our complex drop onto vehicles here that are parked outside! Sap is easy to get off of windows with an Exacto Blade, but very hard to get off of vehicle paint! Have tried Vehicle Tar/Sap Remover to no avail.

So, do you have any of these problems with Jax water and sap from Pine trees???

We do use Lime-Away for the water spots, but sometimes that takes quite a bit of rubbing to get those spots off. Then, you have to clean the area extremely well with Windex or the windows will be "filmly" from the Lime-Away.

Any suggestions? Please give us some advice before we cry and get mad even more!!

For the glass, try Invisible Glass, which is a solvent based glass cleaner, along with a scrubber/squeege. Since it is solvent based, you have to be careful.

As for the pine trees, the only suggestion I can think of is to use a vehicle cover.

Hi!

A friend of mine is a car detailer and I have watched him and helped him do many cars. He uses rubbing alcohol - just a little on a rag and it dissolves tree sap. It comes off right away.

Use any good compound for hard water spots.

Get microfiber rags.
