Question Water spots on window...

Ok, I am sure this has been addressed, but let's do it again.

For some UNKNOWN reason I have water spots on my window a LOT of them. Never had any before because I am always cleaning my truck etc.

So how do I get them off? What product will perform for me? I think Zaino has a product but I have never tried it so if anyone has how did it do?

Any other product recommendations are welcome because these spots have got to GO!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read the Zaino information for Z12 Clear view glass polish. Sounds damn good, but I have never heard any "real world" experience with it.

Yes, I do use most the other Zaino products and I am very impressed with them, but before I tried them I read alot of reviews about the products.

This is why I am asking about any other products, there ease of use, and most important that someone like me can NOT screw up my window using it, you know where it looks funny looking out of it.

01,

The Z12 works great! If I can't screw it up, then it should be safe for everybody.

BTW, if you haven't gotten any Z5 lately, the newest version is out (yellow in color, the old stuff was orange). The Z2 is supposed to be new and improved too (old color tan, new color light pink). Both are thinner in consistency, and apply and remove even easier. Both are supposed to be slicker and gossier than before.

Vinegar... straight vinegar on a rag.

Rub it down with vinegar saturated on a rag. Get a MF towel and buff it off. Use a glass cleaner (NO WINDEX) if you can't get the smear out.

Been there and done it. Works great.

Just presenting some options... especially ones that I know work.

I could've said something off the wall like yellow mustard mixed with collard greens...

The funny ***** would've been if we could've had pictures of you trying it.

I am thinking I might go ahead and try the Z12. If it works we can have a whole thread just about that...

Do it outside. Vinegar evaporates rapidly and no, you won't smell like Captain D's on 3 piece fish dinner special nite.

Next time you want to waste some money, just give me a buzz... I've got some cardboard I'm looking to liquidate. I'll let it go for $55 per square foot.

Speaking of windows, I got them blades a few days ago. They look real good, hope they last but from what some have said they should do good. See I listen to you sometimes...
