Default sprinkler water stains

Anyone have this problem? sprinklers hitting your car and eventually leaves steaks on your paint & windows? My car is black, so the streaks are blue and come out with wax. However, the streaks/stains on the windows (drivers side only) just dont come out. Anyone have any experience with this? Any particular product I should try?

TIA

I use to detail for about 4 years. What just about every detail shop uses is an acid-based liquid. What we used was called Mag V by Mark III. Some shops will use the acid that they use on rims, to get the water spots off.

Another method is to use a hard cut wax, and steel wool. This process takes a lot longer, but gets the job done as well.

I would suggest just sticking with clay bar. It will get it off with no problems.
