    try super fine steel wool. It takes a while, but if you put enough time into it, it will get water spots and things of the type off the glass that cleaner can't get.

      it's an acidic base, start with te steel wool like said...and get the really tough stuff up with the glass polish...I apply it by hand simply because I don't have any windows that bad....but I did have to use a high-speed buffer once and it came out perfect...only advice I can give you is if you use the high speed cover up all surrounding paint, plastic, everything or you will have one helluva time getting the stuff off....trust me I know....oh ya, and rain-x your windows when your done...good luck.

        Rain x is awesome! Been using it since 1991.

              steel wool? seems harsh? show me some "super fine" steel wool. I would think you would need some sort of mild abrasive polish. try that zaino stuff by its self first.

                  ^^I'm afraid that might scratch it...it's soft, but not that soft....trust me try the zaino glass polish, it works miracles....even got fine scratches out of the windshield on my tahoe.

                    You're afraid the Pumice is going to scratch your windows?!? My mom uses it on her windows every time she washes it. She works at a citrus farm, so her windows get covered with kanker wash every day. Rain X, NoStreak, and waxing wouldn't get rid of the spots, so she gave this a try. Never scratches the windows on her Suburban, so I assume it'd be safe on our cars as well.

                      ^^^ was unaware of that...I remember using pumice on tougher materials...ya I thought it would scratch the glass...you learn something new everyday.
