Default Water spots

Hey...on the glass top of my sunroof, there are water spots (I guess the mineral deposits left from rain and stuff) and I was wondering if there is any way to get rid of them. Like a mineral disolvent or something? Thanks, guys

I used windex and a razor blade (very gently), and that got all of the spots off, good luck.

Also if that stuff don't work , try using a Car polish that has a light polishing agent in it . It will polish the water spots off .

Use a "Pre-Wax cleaner", will take it right off.........

I regularily put RAIN-X on my moonroof so the water dissapates immediately. That stuff works wonders.

I use Zaino glass polish. It lasts a couple months and is easy to use!
