Available from one your vendors above. And I'm pretty sure Greg has a discount for CL members
It works quite well; I had the chance to use it yesterday.
Perfect for removing hard water sports from the grille/ trim, and even wheel lips/spokes. As Lexus tends to use plentiful of it.

The Chemical Guys Water Spot Remover is a great product but it's very strong so you should be really careful with it, especially on any new surfaces that you haven't used it on before. It does help get rid of a lot of water marks with ease. I use rubber gloves for the application and make sure I thoroughly rinse down the areas I apply it to and the applicators I use it with. Let me know if you have any other questions.

you can try to use a wax or polish on the window...spots on the windows are a bit easier to get off. you can try a 50/50 water/vinegar mix as well.

I prefer to use the Glass Science Glass Scrub it works on about 95% of the glass water mark problems I've encountered. It's safer, easier to use and affordable.
