What to use to clean the hood vent?
I've tried scrubbing with carwash soap and I can't get these water mark stains out. Anyone have any suggestions to what else I could use?

Try vinegar mixed with some distilled water. It may help break up the mineral deposits.

Try a vinyl & rubber cleaner/treatment. That stuff you use twice a year on your weather seals.

Clay bar, or if that don't work try non gel toothpaste, or car polish for a heaver grit.

Try moving your post to the Cosmetic Maintenance: Washing, Waxing, Detailing section. Maybe Adams Polishes will chime in and give you some help.

I tried white vinegar and water then clay bar. Didn't really remove the staining. I just ended up using some trim restore. Now it's shiny, until it wears off.

Might try some of this. We have extremely hard/calcified water here and our CUV sets outside. Until I got rid of our side lawn, it would get hit by the sprinklers and had some extremely bad water stains. Used this on the paint and trim, removed them all. After doing the trim, I went over it with a trim restorer; spots have not come back.

Try Meguiar's water spot remover. My truck got hit with hard water a few weeks back from a Irrigation system pretty bad. This stuff worked really well for myself and was quick and easy to use.
