does this take hard water spots off clear coat surface

No don't use Spot X on the paint job...it scratches easily. It works wonders on glass.

I haven't tried that. This product is a powder, kind of like barkeepers friend, comet, baking soda, etc. It's a mild abrasive, a polish, and there are polishes specifically for buffing cars etc, I'd probably go with an automotive product just to be sure.

No, it will dull the surface... use only on glass and if it gets on paint just rinse off don't wipe it off!

I've never used this on anything other than glass shower doors. It is a very, very fine abrasive and would likely damage a clear coat finish.

Yes, I have used it on hard water stains and it works well. I have also used it on glass and porcelain with no issue.

One of my cars has a clearcoat finish and I use Mother's car wash liquid on it with no negative results. It's a good soap product, not nearly as abrasive or chemical-laden as many others on the market for a few dollars less.

Yes. While there are better and less harsh alternatives, this compound will remove the clear coat and paint if you work diligently enough at it. For windows, I'd suggest a solution of 3 parts white vinegar to 1 part water, as someone else also suggested.

I think this is really a question of how hard your water is. If you have a lot of stuff in your water (hardness, TDS, etc) you are more likely to get spots. I have very hard water at my house so I always hand dry. If you have a softener, I think you would likely be fine.

I had a very old (probably 15+ years) stainless steel sink and this did help, but did not completely remove water spots. However, with newer stainless steel items (up to 4 years old) it does wonders. It may not completely remove, but nearly so in spots that have been sitting. On new spots (last 3-4 weeks), it completely removed. You must rinse off completely with CLEAN cloth and MUST be careful of stainless steel grain. Hope this helps!!

Hmmm. That's weird. Honestly, I don't know because I clean my countertops with 409 before I use this polish. I also have gray countertops, so it may hide the water spots. If you have lighter countertops, you might try using one of those Mr. Clean erasers before using the polish. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. But Weiman is a very reputable brand. It may do the trick.

I don't know - you would have to check the manufacturer's label. I do know it did a fantastic job removing stains on our picture window. Before using Spot-X Hard Water Stain and Spot remover, I tried everything else and nothing worked to remove those streaks.

I`ve used it on glass and other things. Its abrasive so it wont leave your glass looking pristine, but it will clean the hard water residue, it did for me anyway. Glass blocks are pretty tough... it should do the trick. If you are worried about scratches, try a little on one block.Can`t hurt. Its worth buying.

It will remove it somewhat, but I had to use household ammonia, water and a good scrub brush to remove the polish, after I had used the polish remover. I will never use the polish again. Ammonia and water using a brush got most of the polish off.I still need to go over it again.

We had spots appear once after a hard rain but within the next couple of days they disappeared. Since then we have coated the top with a clear coat finish and have gotten a cover; just in case the next time it didn't go away.

No it doesn't. The more I washed my car, I begin not liking this soap for several reasons. It leaves the windows soap/Water spots. Even after I rinsed it off several times. It takes the car wax off too.

My experience is that it polishes, and blocks oxidation. I have never experienced it making a surface slicker.

It is a cleaner. Will it remove hard water spots? Tough question. I have had it remove water spots from an outdoor glass table. But I have had some old, old water spots on glass that I had to use a very fine auto rubbing compound to remove. Once remover this product has kept it clean. I'd say try it. It's the best cleaner I have ever used.

No it hasn't for me. It helps but does not eliminate spots. Install a good carbon fltr inline with this unit that will also help.

I haven't tried it, but the filter is for removing chlorine which means it is filled with activated carbon most likely. You want a deionization filter which removes charged particles that would result in scaling, aka water spots.

I do not believe it will handle hard water spots. Once you get the hard water damage taken care of, this product will help prevent the problem from coming back. I just love it!!
