Question Water spots on my glass.

Does anyone know of any product that can remove water spots from the glass? I once saw something that was similar to a waxing compound that you could buff the glass but I can't remember what it was. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Those water spots cured me from parking in the driveway with the sprinkler on :/
Z-12 glass polish. I had tried CLR, vinegar/water, steel wool, and even some detailing clay. This stuff worked the best.

a compound will work too even wax on some spots but a good mild compound will remove the spots.

you can also try a med/heavy claybar and rubbin at it. Should be an easy fix.

bar keepers friend also works great on cleaning glass. followed by rain-x or just some good wax on it to seal it all off. and actually newspaper of al things does an excellent job at doing that final no streak/ spot buff.
