do not use a compound. todays cars have a clear coat that will scratch and will never come out.

there are cleaners that contain just enough compound to remove surface scratches and not harm the clear coat. any parts store would carry these products.

However we are speaking about hard water stains and not scratches. Is there any product or type of product that you would suggest for that?

Weatherstrips and rubberised linings etc would deteriorate over time as the coating hardens and this would leave the surface psckmarked in time even if you don't go to a car wash as stains would collect whenever it rains and dirt accumulates.

There are restorers available for such components and would leave a coating on to keep dirt and grime away at the same time keeping a new look. Look for tires and lining restorers.
