Hard Water Stains

[JP127]

I washed the boat today for the summer season. And every year I deal with these hard water stains on the decals. I use a wash and wax that I bought from Academy. It cleans well, but won't get out the hard water stains. Suggestions?

Try CLR or lemon juice, vinegar....any mild acid should remove it

And that won't hurt the clear coat or decal?

I posed the same question last year. "Ducky Water Spot Remover" was the most recommended. I bought a bottle and it worked 100%.

Ducky Water Spot Remover is the best thing since beer!! I found it last year. My boat at the time I think had every water spot on it since the first owner. I tried paint cleaners and everything else that takes too much effort.
Spray on the Ducky, wait a few minutes and wipe off with a damp terry cloth towel and your boat will look like new!

The best thing then would be to follow up with a nice wax
