Water marks!!

Hey Guys, question, I have these water marks that I cant seem to get off of my window, I've used invisible glass, 2-1 Rainex and can't seem to get them office. What would be the safest abbresive I can use? I actually tried the back of a two sided sponge and it somewhat worked, I gues my question is, is this safe? If not, what would you guys suggest?

Thanks!

Ive used bar keepers friend to get them off before. It worked pretty well, makes the glass smooth again. After that you can follow it up with rain-x or your favorite rain repellent.

Not sure if you got them off or not, but diluted lemon juice also works. I have a bottle of it in my garage just for that.

Thanks for the information in here, upon purchasing my car in August I noticed a lot of water marks on the windows. Today I attempted a clay removal and while it helped some it did not totally correct it. Next step will be following advice given in this thread!

To remove water ‘spots’; cut a lemon in half (citric acid pH 3) you then have a solution with its own applicator
