what could i use? i have the vehicle now so obviously i cant order anything online...suggestions?
 
If they are hard water spots you can try a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water or you can bust out the clay bar and go over the glass. The vinegar and water can remove the spots if they are newer but if they have been there a while it may not totally remove them.
 
You "could" order something online but you would indeed have to wait. In those cases I suggest DP Glass Restorer. For something local some use to suggest toothpaste, kinda a home remedy.
 
#0000 grit wool pad w/distilled water or 1:1 iso, easily found in the paint department at your local home repair
 
DP Glass Restorer or the Diamondite Glass Cleaning Kit.

I've owned a lot of older cars in my life and a number of them have had really scratched up windows from what always looks like someone scrubbing them with something like steel wool...

The OP can try this at their own discretion but I would opt for just about any other alternative before I tool steel wool to glass, especially if the car in question was important to me...

Do you have a Paint Cleaner product? Or you could try a finishing polish.

I've found that just about anything applied by machine (even plain water) will remove light (type 1) waterspots, but really bad (type 2) waterspots can be tough to remove even with Glass Science Glass Scrub, which I feel is a pretty aggressive glass cleaner.

Great- you have it beat, but you can never light up again because just one smoke will drag you down. It has been 27 years after 25 year plus of smoking up to three packs a day.
 
i tried vinegar and it did take them down some but they are still there, ill get some dp glass restorer to fix them next time i see the car
 
Meggs 105 w/ a light cutting pad (ie LC orange or Cyan HT) will usually do the trick and definitely makes glass look VERY nice :props: If you don't have any m105, use whatever compound you do have, it will probably work too...

Note: Do not try to polish mirrors this way though, as the coating on most is VERY thin and can be easily dammaged by machine polishing them...
