Default Hard Water Stain

My wife took my GX to work the other day and parked in the garage under a leaking pipe. Now I have a hard water stain on the front windshield that will not go away. I scraped the white residue off, but you can still see the outline of the stain. Help! How can I remove it without removing the waterproof coating on the glass?

I've experienced that problem and using glass wax (or even car wax) took care of it.

50/50 misture of vinegar and water - works like magic - an old boating trick.

Thanks for the replies , I will try out the vinegar/water solution this weekend. I hope it does not take off the waterproof coating on the glass!
