Ok... I've tried everything I can think of. Including vinegar straight out of the bottle to get rid of these back window water spots. Has anyone ever heard of using a Cleaner/wax or a polish to get out the spots?

thx

I have used polish and compounds to remove water spots on glass. You can do it by hand or machine.

Try some mothers metal polish. Don't get it on any trim though.
 
Try a drill polishing ball like Mothers, with a good glass polish. I'm going to tackle my GF's car that's covered with spots, paint and glass, when the weather gets warmer. But I have a DA polisher so I'll be using that with paint and glass polishes. Or maybe even paint polish on the glass. Either way I wouldn't want to tackle the job by hand. Isn't the small Mothers ball like only $20?
 
Lucas Liquid Polish. As thin as water and sooo easy to use. Good on chrome too. The hardest part is finding it OTC. It's worth ordering IMO.
 
I use a solution of one third denatured alcohol and water. It is the best glass cleaner I have found. Denatured alcohol is a better solvent than rubbing alcohol. Don't use it on the inside of your back window as it may remove the defroster grid.
 
Mike Phillips has long recommended M04, rotary, and polishing pad. Something about the large abrasives in M04 that works well on glass.

oooo steel wool will scratch glass so please be carefull. espeacilly when used with any kind of a compound. hard water deposits are caused from the minerals and chemicals that are in the water you need to get the hard water deposits out with a chemical that will chase them out of the pours of the glass. vinegar may work somtimes but if you live where the water is really bad it wont touch it at all.
 
this is what we have to deal with in NOR CAL. :D

I'm not doubting whether this works or not, but holy crap....that mix is ten times stronger than what is recommended on my can of denatured alcohol. Do you have to wear gloves and what about breathing the fumes? Just wondering....
