Default water spots on windows

hey guys,
when i washed my car, i left the windows for last, and i guess because of this, the water dried up and there were lots of water spots left behind.
i am unable to get ride of the spots, no matter how hard i scrub with a towel.
do u guys have any suggestions for me to get rid of these horrible water spots?

thanks in advance for your help

Please double check me - but I recall someone post about
using Clay Bar on Windows - you need the keep bar wet with lubricant.. Afterwards a lot of windows cleaner to remove the wax/lubricant.

Hey z33saru,

Try using the Mr. Clean Autodry. It haves filters that once you wash the car, you soak the car with the filtered water and no spots are left behind. You won't have to handdry your car either. Let me know how it works!

Simply rub your glass with white vinegar, the vinegar will dissovle the chemicals that caused the spotting, if that does not work try Zaino Z-12 Glass cleaner, it is an abrasive compound that will remove any spot from any glass...
