I'm sure others have found this trick but I went to wash my boat and couldn't get the water spots off, after alot of scrubbing, was about to go for the Lime Away when I though of the vinegar and it worked really well, just wetted a rag with it and wiped over the boat then hit with soap and water.

Hit it with a good coat of wax when I was done so hopefully they are easier to get off next time.

Doesn't smell the greatest but it is alot milder than Lime Away, it cheap and it works.

works great as stated. been doing it for quite awhile.
just remember will take wax off pretty quick if used straight. using as a wipe down after retrieving to trailer--use a mild mix (dilute with water and use in spray bottle)
kinda the same as ducky but you can control the amount of mix
