Have a few pics here I took of some hard water spots I have on my grill that for the love of god I can't get them off. Anyone have any ideas?

Claybar might work. Maybe try vinegar that may help if they have not set for too long.
I had some on a car from the past and left the spots on for about a week, I had to use some 3m cleaner wax and work the heck out of it. If it's on the chrome, be careful, you don't want to scratch anything. If in doubt, take it to a professional detail shop for the best results.

Tried the vineger with no luck, looks like some cleaner wax is going to be my next option. Thanks for the replys .

NP, do it by hand first! Don't use a high speed buffer if it's your first time!
If you were local, I could knock them out no problem!
Just do baby steps, and let us know how it goes. Don't wanna burn your clear coat with a buffer! Just keep it simple for now, and if they are really stubborn, I can't stress a good detail shop, but usualy that cost $$$$$$$$$.
Hope you get them out easily!

I gave in and spent a $100 bucks on a complete 3 step exterior detail. It looks great now, for kicks I'm going to send the bill to my dealer since they tried once to take care of this isse and failed miserably. I doubt they'll pay for it but you never know.

Get some wax on that puppy now that it is detailed. Will help tremendously in avoiding hard water stains. If you do get them and you wax regularly (I do once per year), they will alwlays be pretty easy to remove.
