water stains on window shadowline trim

ajj · 08-22-2008, 08:11 PM

anyone else having issues with water stains on the shadowline trim that surrounds the windows? it's really an eye sore...and difficult to remove. any suggestions?
i think it's really silly that the exterior of these cars are so prone to etching from bird doo, as well as simple water stains.

Vinegar removes water stains the best.
