Default Hard water spot on clear bra

Ok don't want to get flamed, but I did do a search and didn't get all of the aswers. So got some hard water spots, was on a road trip so I couldn't take it off the same day. I've read that white vinegar should work for the paint, but would it be okay to use on the clear bra? Thanks.

If its 3M isopropyl alcohol will work a lot of the time. Its best to start with real warm soapy water. That will usually do it. Otherwise Plexus or a good quick detailer should get them off.

I had waterspots on one of my cars' clear bra and they could not be removed. I used vinegar, rubbing alcohol, Plexus and sealants as prescribed by the installer. The only solution was to remove the clear bra. While it did stop the small chips it was more trouble than it was worth.

For the most part I've found isopropyl alcohol and Plexus to be useless for cleaning the bra. YMMV.

Does anyone know if you can clay a clear bra? I've never tried it. People also swear by Autoglym glass cleaner as taking off water spots from glass (I use clay or Mr Clean magic erasers for the glass). No idea how safe they would be on a bra, but probably would be effective.

Thanks all, just a bit worried about the Mr. clean magic eraser cause i know it can scratch the surface, I guess pick the best of two evils right? Do you want spots or scratches?

The clay should take it right off. I clayed my clear bra and waxed it, don't see any problems.
