A specially formulated thick liquid for the removal of mineral deposits on glass.
MDR removes water spots, hard water film, oxidation & lime deposits.
MDR is safe to use on glass, alloy, stainless steel and chrome.
Apply with a lightly abrasive white pad or applicator sleeve.
MDR is biodegradable and does not contain harmful hydrochloric acid which can damage the glass and surround.

Is it lime scale?

I've had cases of water running long term from a high level overflow, and splashing the glass when it hit the sill.

A spray on lime scale remover did the trick, except for one, where the lime had etched the glass a bit.
