Default Hard Water Stains on passenger side windows. How to remove??

My new IS is almost 3 months old and 1900 miles. I NEVER had hard water on any of my cars. I wash my new IS every 1.5 weeks. So I do not know how this occured because I never park outside.

I have pretty severe hard water stains on my two passenger side windows and that black piece btw them. How do I remove this???

I tried my household windex and I scrubbed pretty hard too, but no luck.

What products can I buy to remove hardwater stains from my windows??? I'm about to head to walmart in an hour or so. Thanks!

Maybe you don't get TV where you live, but you've never seen ads for CLR?

Distilled Vinegar also works.

Try Mcquires Scratch X.. I use it everywhere so it should be pretty safe for windows.. Or CLR or Lime Away.. I use those products on the shower glass so it should be safe.. GL

I'd not use anything with abrasives on the front side windows as they are coated with a permanent water repellant. Using an abrasive on these windows will destroy that coating.
