glass wont come clean!
ive tried EVERYTHING! soup and water, windex, 4 differnt types of glass cleaner, rain-x, wax!, glass stove top cleaner, and i used plently of elbow grease with every method and they still have water spots. the glass in some angles look like a photograph of what its next to due to its cleanliness, but in the straight on view that everyone sees you can see the spots... are tehy etched in teh glass somehow? anyone kno? if they are how much are new windows, because its really annoying

Sounds like hard water spots on the glass. Give clay a try. If you're not sure what "claying" a car means, search around this forum or Autopia for more answers. The short of it is that the clay removes bonded contaminants from the surface of paint and glass. If it's hard water spots it'll remove them. If it's etched you'll either need to polish the glass or get new windows, but I'd bet it's hard water spots.

after you wash your car try getting some newspaper and drying the windows before the water starts drying up..it works amazing, the wax from the newspaper does it, this is a old trick that ALOT of people use

One of my dealerships accounts a few years ago brought me like a dozen cars they bought down south with acid rain damage (water spots). as far as the paint we had to claybar and buff that...and for the glass the we took a wheel cleaner (acid) and fine steel whool and that got it off. Was not a fun job but at $300 a car I didn't mind
