    rain-x? lemon juice? I've found glass cleaner doesn't work that well.
    No car! I soldz it. Now I have a truck. I like it, but apparently it has a hard time keeping up with a slightly modified 4WD protege with half the hp. Neat.

      shouldn't use normal window cleaner as it has ammonia.

        i have seen (can't remember the name) of a white powder compound that you mix with water and buff with it and it will take off hard water spots. takes awhile to do, but will take them off.

                you could try CLR. its meant for hard water spots on showers, tubs, coffee carafes, etc. why not try it on your windows. from now on, try drying your windows before the water spots get stupid.

You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

                    *sigh* I have no other water spots on any part of the paint so obviously I'm drying it right. These were on the windows as far back as I can remember.

                      the detail shop at work uses hydrofluoric acid and steel wool, then remove the residue with regular glass cleaner. it works like magic. i removed the 14 years of water spots on my windows with it. you just have to wear gloves and tape off all of the trim surrounding the window. they also use it on the really bad water spots on paint that have been there a long time. you just use a microfiber cloth and clean it off with some body shine and do small areas at a time. also, you have to make sure the car is nice and cool and it's not hot outside or else it just dries up and evaporates so fast it doesn't work.

                      there's also some non toxic stuff they have. it's like thin green toothpaste and works good too. i think it's called like bio chem or bio clean or something. it just takes a lot more time and a lot more effort to clean the residue off, but other than that it works almost as good.

                        Coca Cola will remove water spots. Wipe it on with a cotton cloth (an old t shirt) before you wash and dry the windows when you're finished. That's what I did.

                          I have hard water here in Cali. Over the last year of washing my speed3, i have used window wipes. windex and so on. always had water spots. Happy with the clay and wax. but my windows always killed it.

                          Mequires has a window cleaner thats designed to clean even the heavist smokers windows of tar.
                          I decided to try it. NEver had windows so clean before. WE also have hard water and always have spots on the cars from sprinklers. Just use the terry or micro fiber cloth, plus i clayed the windows also.
                          PLus i have heard of guys polishing or using the buiffer and buffing the windows and waxing them or just straight polish and easier to clean next time!

                            be mindful of your paint... coca-cola can eat it believe it or not.

                            CLR? I wouldn't get that near my car.

                            I've found a just applying rain-x does the trick.

                              Try good old vinegar, works wonders. Polish it off with an old newspaper.
