I have tried just about everything to get the water marks off of my windows on the tahoe, I came up on this product called DRIVEN Extreme Duty Window Cleaner. I found it on amazon, figured it was worth a shot. I have tried 0000 steel wool, polishing compound, clay bar and a few other things and you couldn't even tell I had used anything.
I finally got the Driven in the mail saturday, tried it a few minutes ago, I just put some on a paper towel and rubbed it a little, wiped it off and it removed everything! Once it cools down in the next few weeks i'll be doing all of my windows! If you are having trouble with spots on your ride give it a shot, it's worth the 20.00 a bottle!

I've tried both steel wool and windex, both didn't help. I'm guessing mine is probably etched in the glass.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll give it a try. Bought my Yukon used with water spots all over the glass. Went with a polisher on it. Numerous pads, glass polishing pads, compound, Polish and don't remember what else. Is way better after a lot of hart labor, still, some spots I didn't hit hard/long nuff, or they just reappear.

Usually hard water spots are the result of calcium and lime deposits, try products like lime away or CLR Basically you need to demineralize your glass

now we did try this stuff i use in mypool that cleans the tiles wich turned to be hydrochloric acid wich worked as well but you must be extremely careful
