I need help in finding what is the best product to use on hard water spots on all the glass on the wife's Jeep Jeep. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The water spots have been on the Jeep for about 3 years.
Thanks

When I worked at a BMW dealership as a lot attendant, the in-house detailer showed me a little trick. It was mostly for removing tree sap and sticker residue, but it took anything unwanted off of the glass, including water spots.
Apply glass cleaner, very liberally and let it stand for a moment, then use a steel wool(not the brillo pad, or the scotchbrite, just plain ole' steel wool) to gently rub the affected area. As you are rubbing, make sure to keep the glass cleaner in your hand and spray often. As long as the glass remains lubricated, there are never any scratching issues. If I was doing a whole window, I would tape it off to make sure i didn't hit any metal with the steel wool.
This always worked for me on the dealerships cars and my own, but try at your own risk, and never, ever use this on the inside of a window with a defroster of the inside of a window with aftermarket tint.

Thank you both Earthworm51 and jlobaugh for the advice and the information. I will let you know how it turns out. Right now it is too cold do anything about it, I will have wait until it warms up a little bit. Thanks again

Go to your local hardware/housewares store. Most carry a powder product that's formulated to remove water spots from glass. I use it when the sprinklers hit the window.

So, what method works best for you? I'm having the same problem.

anything acidic should be able to remove it. Like a diluted pure white vinegar, or some lemon juice

A friend gave this formula 1 part of alcohol, 1 part of vinegar, and 1 part of water. Spray with a spry bottle. Works better than any glass cleaner
