how to remove age old water marks?
like title said, the passenger side window has some crazy age old water marks, the car been painted before not sure it has anything to do with the oversprayed clearcoat, etc.
so far i tried: windex, razor blade, steel wool, denature alcohol, acetone, brake cleaner, throttle body cleaner, nail polish cleaner, gas, and nothing seems to work
thanks

A little compound on a rag....use a little elbow grease to help polish the window out and the spots will be gone.....Use XXX or 0000 fine steel wool to remove anything major on the window before u start

Compound on a foam pad with a buffer. Keep the speed down, keep it wet and just let the buffer do the work. No need to lean into it.

Vinegar works great if it is water spots from mineral desposits. Acid rain spots however will not yield such sucess.
