I believe that someone has a window polish for water spots, I just can't remember who sells it. I think some people just use car polish and polish the spots off the windows...
The vinegar method is useless for the spots that have been there for a while. I am also not quite sure on the steel wool method, I saw one guy that hazed his windshield after steel wooling it.

Also, PB PP works very well....

Yeah, I've tried vinager, waxes, polishhes, CLR, etc ...
... there's just one word and a letter will solve those "hard water on glass blues" !
Nothing else works like this or is as easy to clean up afterwards.
SPOT - X 
If you've never tried it, your loss.
I got mine at Lowes though Home Depot and the local hardware has it now as well.
Follow directions, you dampen an included "No Scratch" sponge pad with water and then dab some "Spot-X" on it ... makes like a paste ... and rub away spots. You feel the spots at first .... and then as you rub, away they go and the glass is just so slick and smooth then.

What it's made of and how it works ...

Don't bother telling them I sent you ...
... 'cause they don't know me.

I have even tried a clay bar, can't touch Spot-X. My '07 had been detailed pretty good when I bought it but the glass was horribly waterspotted, sides, W-shield, back glass, and roof really bad.
I thought no big deal .... until I started trying stuff. It seemed the glass was permanently etched. Then I came across Spot-X. Bought 3 kits thinking I had a mountain of a job ahead of me. After the spots were gone and the glass slick, sold one kit and have one in reserve, and still half of the first kit still on hand.
This stuff ain't clay. It's a very very fine powder like stuff. Any that get's on the paint just rinses off.

Finally a hard water stain cleaner that does not contain dangerous caustic acids. Spot-X uses finely powdered shells to effectively remove water spots caused by mineral deposits, acid rain, salt water, well water, road grime, soap scum and sprinklers. No-scratch formula is ideal for tubs, tile, shower doors, windows and more! Includes a cleaning pad.
How does it work?
Spot-X is made from juglans regia shell. This material is very hard and is used to literally "sand off" the hard water/salt stain, silicate, heavy calcium deposits, lime scale, acid rain spots, soap scum, or any other stain that is on your glass or stainless steel... without scratching it!
