Default T-top water spots

On my t-tops, there are a bunch of tiny water spots that I can never seem to remove. Ive tried washing it, using glass cleaner and all sorts of other things. Any one have any sugguestions about how to remove these? Its only on the tops and its really starting to get to me. Thanks

Armor All makes a car polish which has a liquid wax in it. The spray bottle is black. Once I wash my car, I use this stuff on the entire car: paint, black trim, windows, interior, etc. I use it everywhere except for the wheels and tires, although it may help seal the wheels from the elements and brake dust. This product does a good job of removing water spots. Check it out.

Hope this helps
Andy

almost any polish will work, apply by hand. If it is not too stubborn, rainx will work!!

A water/vinager mix will also work. Doesn't smell the greatest but it does work. We have hard water here and I use the mix from time to time.
