None of that will help.

What I've done before is to take a cutting creme to a high-speed buffer, and clean it off that way. Probably have to know a detailer to get the right tools. One product I used years ago that was great, don't know if it's still around, is 3M "Old Reliable". Took the spots right off the glass of a 77 T/A I was selling.

50/50 mix of distilled water and white vinegar with wadded up newspaper will remove just about every water spot I've encountered, even on windows. If that doesn't work, you can step up to 0000 steel wool and the 50/50 mix.

I had this problem quite a long time ago. I used some rubbing alcohol and a cloth and it took it RIGHT off.
