A 50/50 mix of white vinegar and distilled water should get those off pretty easily. Just make sure you clean afterwards with Windex, unless you like your car smelling like a pickle.

Also, I recommend against using paper towels on your windows. They tend to streak and spot. Newspaper, of all things, works very well if you don't have a good microfiber towel for the task.

I think that someone here used some very fine steel wool with good results once.

if youve already got a PC then use the original pad that it came with and try glass polish on speed 6. If you dont already have glass polish i have a gallon of it sitting here. Pay for shipping and ill send ya about 4 ounces. thatll be good for all the windows. Works very well. PM me if your interested.
