Any kind of vinegar in a spray bottle then let it soak on windows for a few min.

+1 on the vinegar. Just don't let it get on your paint.

Try very fine steel wool with glass cleaner. You can buy the steel wool at Walmart. Just make sure it's the finest they have.

If you try the steel wool and it doesn't work with the glass cleaner, you can also try it with a light compound.

CLR would work. Anything that removes hard water deposits.

One of the big detailing companies now makes a glass cleaner for water spots. Dont remember which one it was, though.

Edit:
Amazon Amazon

Griots garage does make a clay specifically for glass that is a little heavier weight.

I doubt it would work if you have already tried body clay though. I vote CLR.
