I have yet to find anything that removes water spots once they have dried; there are things which will reduce them - especially their obviousness  - as you have found.  I have even tried rewashing the film.

Any suggestions for removing water spots on film? I've tried Ethol's antistatic film cleaner. It did reduce the stains -- so it helps a bit -- but if something more effective is available I'd like to hear about it. How about Pec 12? I've also heard that rewashing film in developer can help remove stains -- not sure I'd like to go this route without trying something over--the-counter first.
