Default Window Water Spots

My wife bought a used car. It has some serious water spotting on the windows. I have no clue what the hell happened to this thing. I have tried polishing compound, commet, and some kind of glass polish. The glass polish helped, but there is still some there.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Go t your local grocery store and get a product called BarKeepers Friend...its a powder...pour some out in a cup and mix it with water...basically making a paste..then apply to the window with your fingers...it will dry like wax does...then just buff it off...best product for those nasty acid rain spots...it may take a couple coats, but you should see a big difference.

I would have to recommend trying Stoner's Invisible Glass. That stuff works wonders.

I didnt see anything on the ADAMS site, I will check out the videos though.
The first thing I did to the car when we got it was clay and wax. Clay didnt work on the windows though.

I will try the Barkeepers this weekend. ANd I have some stoners sitting right in front of me. That was next on my list.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Any more?

I use that stuff and it works great and with a lint free cloth leaves no streaks on the glass when you do it right.
