OT Auto experts, anyone have a proven method of removing water spots from windows? I've used several different methods with limited results. Any advice is appreciated.

I have the invisible glass. It's not working. I will try the water and vinegar this afternoon.

It's depends how bad the spots are. If they are not too bad then Invisible Glass is your best option. If the spots are really calcified then a glass polish will work. LINK

I still wash it myself. But sometimes it just needs a little extra tlc. If I was making that whodat money, I would get it done every week.

I've never tried it myself, but my friend with really hard water swears by CLR.

I have a proven method that works on my cars as well as my shower door.

1.) Go to Home Depot
2.) Buy the gel version of "Barkeeper's Friend".
3.) Purchase a package of microfiber cloth rags.
4.) Return home
5.) Swirl Barkeeper's Friend on exterior window with microfiber cloth.
6.) Let sit for 1-2 minutes.
7.) Clean with Windex or whatever glass cleaner you choose.
8.) Repeat Windex/cleaner step with new microfiber cloth.
9.) Repeat Steps 1-8 on the opposite side of the window.
10.) Apply Rain-X to exterior of auto window.

It will work. Guaranteed.

1) Hit the windshield with a hammer hard enough to put a large crack in it.
2) Have the windshield replaced with a new one.
3) File for insurance.

Why can't I just use the Barkeepers Friend and rags that I already have?
