    I’ve had pretty good luck with Sud Factory products. Their water spot remover on a foam polishing pad on a drill or buffer takes water spots right off of glass. Follow up with Invisible Glass on a clean microfiber towel and it’s as good as new.

    +1 on Sud Factory water spot remover. I thought my acid rain etched windows were hopeless, now they look like new.

    I use a product called Ring B Gone. It’s advertised as a toilet bowl cleaner for hard water. Ive used it on plastic, stainless steel and glass. It works great on the calcium buildup.

    As always, test on a hidden area first and use gloves.

    I have a commercial grade wire wheel cleaner that when sprayed onto a micro fiber cloth removes all stains. I have used suds factory water spot remover and the wire wheel cleaner was faster and did a better job in only a few minutes. I learned the tip many years ago but did try sud factory which is a decent product. I may use it if I don't have any wire wheel cleaner. I have been in the detail business for over 36 years mostly part time and now full time but I do only one vehicle a week. I still get commercial products from the same company and I swear they are better than anything else I have tried over the years.

    I don't see a wire wheel cleaner there... just a general wheel cleaner

    Idk, maybe call them. I'm sure any wire wheel cleaner will work when sprayed onto a rag and rubbed onto the glass.

    There are water spot removal sprays but white vinegar, water, and baking soda work well along with a clay bar if you need the added boost.
