if they aren't etched in which is rare then the cheapest and easiest way by far is vinegar. You can just use straight vinegar if its just on your windows if you have spots on your paint mix 50/50 water and vinegar to use less vinegar.

I spray alittle bit of Eagle One Wire Wheel cleaner on glass and LIGHTLY rub an SOS pad over it and it's quick and easy and works wonders. Only took an hour to do front and rear glass and ttops.

Fine steel work can work in some circumstances, but it's extremely important to be very careful when going that route. Once glass is scratched, it's not likely coming out.

I use ZEP tub and tile cleaner takes off the all the water spots. Just make sure you rinse well if you use it. You can buy it at Homedepot.

Get Zaino http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/...oduct_Count=16

I've used it on 4 different cars/trucks with bad water spots on the glass and it took them all out with a lil' elbow grease. It's very safe, not like using ACIDIC wheel cleaner, or steel wool.
