Default Water Spots

I have a 08 mazdaspeed. On all of my windows i have terrible water spots and with getting my window tinted they stand out even more. Does anyone else have issues with their speeds and water spots on the glass. I have tried everything to remove them including invisible glass water spot remover, clay bar and wax, and vinegar. Any help would be much appreciated.

Use an orbital polisher and use some rubbing compound. I had the same problem when I had the windows tinted. I got that fix from Mothers Products.

I have the same issue and with 5% tint it looks like crap. I also tried claybar with no luck. I've heard that using "0000" steel wool with cleaner or polish can work but I have not tried it.

You dry the car incorrectly when you wash it. Get proper towels.
Now that you've got water spots you can dry to clay them and see if they go away. If they're stuck too hard ont he window and maybe into the clear coat you will have to use a finish compound and see if they go away (for each type of surface, glass and paint), and if they don't you will have to go more abrasive, one step at a time, until they clear.

Wax the car frequently and dry it properly after you wash it and you will be fine. For the windows I'm using Aquapel with pretty big success.
