I've had pretty good luck w/Armour All glass cleaner if they aren't real bad, but I've known of cases so bad that it took muriatic acid dilute to get them off.
Good luck!

Re: Water spots on paint (Duke94)
I just had the same problem with my El Camino (parked too close to the sprinkler) just for grins I applied white wine vinegar to a rag and went over the spots with lots of vinegar followed by soap and water. I was pleased with the results. It did not get it all, but made a huge improvement. :yesnod:

I use Honda Spray Cleaner on water spots and it works well for me. Plus it adds extra protection and shine at the same time. :seeya

I tried most all the suggestions, and all I can say is that WD-40 is awsome. It removed all the spots. Thanks for the help.
