Default Water spots remover

I'm looking for water spots remover that is easy on infotainment screen protector. Any recommendations ? Curious what some of you use that is not damaging the screen.

Whatever you use to clean your phone screen should work.

Use some of the same water that was used to clean it with on a soft all cotton towel to dissolve the spots, then use a clean dry cotton towel to dry the screen. Hard water will leave the spots and they are difficult to clean with eyeglasses or phone screen cleaner.

Make sure to dry the screen completely after washing. I tend not to wash the inside of my fairing and just use a damp towel to clean it, or some detailer spray and a clean towel.

There is dedicated spot removers - https://www.blok51.com/carpro-spotle...CABEgKLwfD_BwE

I would urge caution and look at the msds before purchase as one I found the other day contains sulphuric acid.

I would try diluting vinegar and you could add a little lemon juice for the scent.

Try a dryer sheet and some dishwasher detergent...

Wire brush on my Harbor Freight drill.
Do this once and you'll never have to worry about waterspots

Thanks this helped. Mixed water+white vinegar. No spots.

You sir are not helpful. I googled wire brush+drill and this is what popped up. Don't think this would have helped me
