Removing hard water spots

To remove water spots on the exterior of both my WSM and Kettle, would an acetic acid solution be used? It's the same stuff used for cleaning the insides of espresso machines and Keurigs. Basically Keurig brand descaling solution?

I am on well water in WA.
It is harder than the water I am used to and will restrict the flow at the shower head nozzle.
I use a bit of cleaning vinegar and it cleans/opens them up pretty good.
I then use the extra/waste from the soak bowl to do the shower walls and then soak the toilets with the remainder.
I could use CLR (or whatever it’s called) but that costs a lot more.

If you have a water softener install a hose bib connection to avoid that in the future.
That will also work great for washing your cars.

I came back from work once and found quite a bit of bird 'remnants' on my car.
After cleaning I noticed that the uric acid in the poop had etched the paintwork.
I used Meguiars X2 fine scratch & blemish remover. Brilliant! Works grate on kettles too!
