limescale removal
Discussion
this recent weather has caused dribblings deep down to the basement of the car park where I keep my beloved Elise. It's dripped basically calcified water all over the back of it, leaving a stubborn white limescale residue. A wash and polish won't shift it. I was thinking Calgon or similar might?
any experience of this or similar?
if so how did you get it off?
any help much appreciated before i plaster my car with something that might make it a lot worse!

many thanks, I was eyeing some cheapo brand of limescale remover in Lidl yesterday, I reckon that would have taken the stripped the 'midnight blue pearlescent' off in seconds!
the only reason I mentioned calgon is that I thought it used a chemical reaction to dissolve the calcium (ie shouldn't affect the paint) as opposed to the Lidl stuff that was basically just acid! Looks like wishful thinking!
cheers

Many thanks to all who helped. White wine vinegar when applied to a car washing brush did the trick. Pride an joy is now back to her best. In fact it looked so good after a good wash that I felt the need to take it out and get it dirty again!
You have no idea of the relief of seeing that crud come off!
