I cant for the life of me get these stupid what looks to be dry water spots covering all my windows. I use windex and they look clean until i pull into the sun light and it is just aweful looking. What will take this stuff off?
Thanks,

I have used a Meguairs claybar on my side view mirrors and had decent success. I would think it would work on straight glass...Maybe give that a try.

Claybar and Griot's glass polish both work great.

Just had that problem.
Thought the glass was water stained.
It can be, and if so, it is ruined and there is no getting it out.

Used Rain-x Xtreme Clean with a PC/DA and black LC pad.
It all came off and looks brand new.

try using Bar Keepers Friend or One Grand Glass polish.

Now they make BKF in a paste, check your local Lowes, HomeDepot etc...

DO NOT GET IT ON YOUR PAINT....

use a finishing pad/polishes on a da polisher. youll be very surprised how awesome it works.

Mix 1 part Vinegar with 8 parts water in spray bottle. Spray on, clean with a microfiber coth to dry. Your windows will be sparkling clean with very little effort.

if the glass is etched, this method will do nothing to correct it.

Mine were spotted real bad, compound, cleaner wax, vinigar, even CLR would not affect it. I used everything, glass wax, windex, you name it.

Tried a product today, took 30 minutes to get all the glass of '07 Scab with sunroof squeeky clean, no spots, no nothing.

I found it at Home Depot, it's a powder you use on a sponge with water, it will rinse hamlessly away, no acids. You get a sponge with it, you dampen the sponge, put a bit of the pwder on it, dab two fingers in water and mix with powder to form a paste, then run across the glass. You can feel it go from rough glass to smooth as deposits are removed.

"Spot-X" is the name .... Good Stuff!
