If you can't get them off, I would go to window specialists and see if they can do anything about it. Speedy or something.

Rep Power: 0 try turtle wax professional auto glass cleaner. can get it at any auto parts store and use a soft cloth/microfiber towel. i washed my car real quit one time and never dried it and it sat in like 100 degree heat for a few days and i had some though *** water spots on the paint and windows. i tried that, a few cleanings and it was good as new. plus that stuff is the ****, drys nice with no streaks and is safe for tint too.

Rep Power: 0 i have the same problem, on my old car, if nothing works (in my case it didnt) i just used steel wool (really fine, got it at Home Depot) to try to get the water spots out (though that tends to leave scratches on your car and that's why some places stopped using this method.) haha funny thing is i gave up and got a civic =D
haha me n my friends called the car the "Anti-clean"

Rep Power: 0 Try CLR on the them. I used it once and it made them look like new. It's for calcium deposits and other stuff that hard water leaves behind. A little scrubbing and they were gone. Of course I got them right back the next time I washed my car.
You should be able to find it at wal-mart, kmart, or maybe in the household cleaner section at your local grocery store.

Rep Power: 0 i can tell it is on the outside side of the window (side without tint). it only shows better b/c now it has a black background. i'll try that clr since you have experience with it and it worked, if that don't do it then i'll get the turtle wax stuff, and if the don't work , then screw it. I ntoiced that my parent's cars have them too and they ar eall almost new.

Rep Power: 319 ok now.... if you guys are talking about water stains... where you wipe the window and can see the "spots" dry up...
Go get a Comet cleaning pad (the steel wool one that slowly dissolves when you use it.) and Windex... Spray the window and "scrub" away...

Here are some ideas that you can try. I dont know if they were mentioned before, because I didnt read the whole post.
White Vinegar
Clay Bar
Goto A Detailing Supply Store and get Very Fine Brillo. Not SOS. This brillo is made for glass. You will soak the windows down with window cleaner and then rub the brillo over the glass, rubbing hard to remove the acid rain marks.

yeah, i used a clay bar and it got those annoying spots out.
i also agree with clr, that removes this type of water stain.

And then doesn't the acid water run down between your windows and your door panels and then start eating thru the metal beneath there?
I'd be too @nal about my car to use that.
