Yes, I know it's only my beater, but its really annoying at night when the light hits my windshield, because I cant see through the hard water marks. Thats how bad my windows are effed up.

Okay guys, I just decided to just listen to the guy I trust the most, My dad, and he just said use rubbing compound. It worked! No scratches and my windows are super clear. Thanks for your help guys.

Clay bar works for me. In fact, I just used some Zaino clay last night to remove hard water spots from my roof, windows, and side mirrors.

I was about to come in here and recommend that. I personally used Megs Ultimate Compound and did it by hand, All the water spots go away and you get a nice shine But make sure to IPA wipe the residue you dont want to keep the compound on the glass.

This can also be used on the Silver trim around the windows on sedans.
