if the arent tinted, use a razor blade, it takes skill but if u go slow, once u get the hang of it, it will get anything off, just use a windex or rubbing alch with it.

 

it's not the area in which you live, it's due to hard water and minerals that deposit themselves onto the glass.

 

what?? tint should be on the inside of the car. we're talking about water spots on the outside

 

You can use a blade on the outside too, but it sounds like its inside the windows for you. a blade would work if its on the surface of the glass.

 

it's kinda funny, all i did was have someone break into my window, and i got a new passenger side window, so no water marks for me on the passenger window.

 

Yes - I sprayed it directly onto the windows, and let it sit for about 3 or 4 minutes. I went the extra step and took an already wet paper towel and wiped down the windows, which didn't remove the cleaner - just dispersed it even more, ensuring 100% coverage. Then hosed it off. Once I was done with that, then I Windexed the glass and all is good once again.

The windshield is completely hosed though. You can see the path of the wiper blades quite clearly from the outside, and can barely see through them from the inside.

I'm going to try the entry-level kit from Janvil to attempt restoration of the windshield. http://www.janvil.com/glass_restore.htm If it doesn't work, then I'll most likely employ my trusty ol' ball-peen hammer and claim it for a replacement (Hey - $50 deductable for a $270 windshield is a good trade-off in my book).
