Default Best way to remove water stains from glass?

I have used Spot-X before, but don't think I need something so strong. I have mild but very stubborn water stains from a sprinkler on my windshield. I have used vinegar and Windex. But there are still light outlines of the water spots. I am going to wet a paper towel with vinegar and just lay it on the windshield and see how that goes. What else works?

Bon Ami, wet the glass and sprinkle it on, wipe around with a wet cloth, hose and wipe of.

While this seems to be my answer to all things car finish related... LONG LIVE ZAINO !!!!!

Their polymer based car polishes are phenomenal!

Have fun...

crumpled newspaper... try that. Make sure to crumple a new one (or re-crumple or use another side of the crumpled piece) after a few scrubs (just like folding the towel after a few wipes).

Apparently, you can get a new windshield for only $1200 or so. Should be spot-free!

A waste of money. Liquid Glass get's it done. Goes on quick and easy and lasts. Zano is a pia and lengthy imo.

True, you can spend a bunch of time applying it. They have a new wipe-on product that I recently used on a friend's car in combination with the buff-on stuff. I've never seen anything like it. I'm sold. I have heard good things about liquid glass, but I'm sticking with Zaino.

I would agree that from a results standpoint, you really can't go wrong with either.

Don't misunderstand me, Zaino puts a hell of a shine on a car but the steps and the amount of products you need to go through to get it are mind numbing. Lquid Glass imo goes on quicker, last's longer and is a heck of a lot cheaper.

Invisible Glass and newspaper has always done the trick for me.
