Water Spots On Glass...
Suggestions on how to to remove them?
I researched and read everything from 50/50 White Vinegar, 0000 Steel Wool, Clay bar, Zaino...
If you have used any product that removes water spots, please list below what it is and how well it worked, I got some that I need to remove and I don't know which route I should take.
Thanks!

Try glass polish if the minerals have already etched the glass. I use DP Glass Restorer (www.autogeek.net/dp515.html) with a machine buffer.

If there is just water spot 'on' the glass surface, try to clay bar the glass.
Any decent clay bar kit from any autostore will do. Just make sure to use a lot of lubricant (usually included in the kit) and use clean surface of the bar.
Try a small corner area of the glass first, practice a little, if it works, extend to the rest of the glass one small area at a time.
I have been doing it on my cars for years, it worked well.

These "spots" may not be spots at all. In fact if you ever did use any of those POS products called Rain-X, Liquid-Glass etc etc, it's most likely starting to wear off the surface of the glass creating holes in the Rain-X coating, giving the impression it's a water spot... when it isn't, and none of the fixes above will help you. If you were to call the manufacturer, they don't even know how to get it off.

Used vinegar this weekend, worked great! I highly suggest it. Fact is that I got hit with sprinklers when it was windy, just glad I had you guys to help out! Thank you much!
