Water Spots? 3D Eraser

Water Spots? 3D Eraser
My car had water spotting, especially on the glass areas.
Polishes, vinegar and other supposed cures got them off about 50%. Then I found 3D Eraser 107.
This stuff does the job. It is acidic and must be used with care though.
On your windshield do no more than 1/2 at a time and don't let it sit on the glass for more than a minute.
The 3d Eraser will actually start to eat/etch into the glass if you use it for more than a minute. DISCLAIMER: You do it at your own risk; I am NOT a detail professional. I am a careless idiot
This stuff also takes off water spots on paint and can be left on longer, probably enough time to do the hood in three areas.
Once you wipe it all off that is not good enough you must use something to dilute/stop the acid - spray water or waterless wash spray.
My car has C.Quartz on it + some sort of clear bra in places and I am waiting to here back from Car Pros on whether or not I can use it on their product (Quartz).
On one forum Carpro said to use a wax/cleaner to remove spots. My guess is the 3D eraser is too harsh so I'll stick with glass and chrome exhaust for now.
Water drops are in themselves acidic so it is like fighting fire with fire. I was on the fence about getting one of those spotless wash canisters do now more.
Once I get the spots all gone I wish always have 'Reload' or something as a barrier so water spots will be easier to deal with down the road.

No thanks I prefer to spend hundreds of dollars on all sorts of MF towels, potions, filter sprayers, and 'reloads.'
I should buy stock in CarPro and The Chemical Guys.
Sadly I wish I was kidding! Got to stop watching detailing videos on YouTube.
I have never owned a car this nice in many years and it is weird not driving it because of the weather, gravel on the road - EWW and DIRT.
Thankful for my man Promaster van as my daily.
