When I picked up my MachE I noticed water spots on the glass roof. Not sure if it happened at the factory, in transit or at the dealer.

I'm a meticulous detailer so this has been eating at me since I know water spots etch into the glass.

I decided to try and remove them myself rather than pay a pro. I use Chemical Guys soap, wax and quick detailer so I decided to test their Water Spot remover. Man, this stuff is amazing. The top of my car looks like a smooth, black water lake surface. Really quick process too.

This also works on paint. Highly recommend if you need to remove water spots.

Nice. Any ideas to prevent/limit future water spots? Just rain-x? Or maybe some other product? (I used mothers cmx ceramic spray on the paint but the instructions say don't use on glass)

Does it also keep the water off (thinking something like Rain-X)?

Whenever I have water spots, I just apply some white vinegar with water. Has worked every time. They come in jugs for cheap.

The key to removing white sunscreen marks from the doors or seats is to use a degreaser. A house hold degreaser cleaner like 409 Spray should work. Rubbing alcohol also acts as a degreaser and often removes sunscreen stains.

My personal favorite automotive all purpose cleaner / degreaser is Optimum Power Clean. When diluted 5:1, Power Clean can be used effectively and safely on the car's interior. I recently used Power Clean to remove my wife's sunscreen stain from her MME driver side door.
