    I know this has been asked before but couldn’t find any posts. Anybody have any good formulas for getting water spots off the windshield on your boat? Thanks in advance.

    I use a 50/50 mix to clean off my water spots.

    X2 on 50/50 water/vinegar mix for both windshields and depth finder screen I use distilled water in a little spray bottle and a micro fiber rag on windshield and eyeglass rag on screen

    Just wondering if ‘Rain-X ‘ would work ?

    I was going to say the same thing about rain-x, but apply it after it is cleaned up and then you don’t have to worry about cleaning spots off again.

    I use ALL Vinegar–it is cheap–no need to mix with water as the spots etc. come off better and quicker with the pure stuff….IMO. I do the whole exterior of the boat/splash guards and engine with pure Vinegar. 1 gallon–put on very liberally, does the whole boat/engine/under water portion of the engine etc.– no matter how bad the water spots/stains are.

    Another good product for plastic windshields is Plexus Plastic Cleaner. Use it on my M/C windscreens and boat wind screens. Available on-line and most motorcycle dealers

    I have for many years and still do use the ALL vinegar on BOTH “tin and glass”. (motor cowlings are “glass” no matter the boat…) After washing with the vinegar, I spray my boat/engine with furniture polish such as Pledge or the like. (I do not wipe the waxy polish after spraying it on generously)
