there was going to be something humorous here, but, unfortunately, i was in charge of the typing, and this is all i could come up with.

Roger.....Uh, that's a no go, over.

windex won't remove mineral deposits or other waterspotting that hasn't happened very recently.
Thanks for input though.

I have heard others use ammonia with some success, but I've tried it on stage 1 spotting and it doesn't do well.

no steelwool..... the synthetic type of pad with a liquid wax. An oldschool car detailer showed me how to do it long ago. I  restored an old vwbugs windows  once doing it. not alot of elbow grease needed

You can use Toothpaste & a scrubby sponge - just make sure it is regular toothpaste, no funky additives.
If using steel wool use .00 grade otherwise it will scratch your windshield.
If you use ammonia be carefull not to get it too close to the edge, as it will eat the sealant.
If you go to a glass company near you, you should be able to get them to order you a product from C.R.Laurence called " Bio-Clean " it is what we use to remove those stains from the tempering process on the shower doors the company I work for sells.
On the outskirts of nowhere on a real road to somewhere in the face of indecision I'll always take the round-about way......... Marillion

I've used some of this to take hard water spots off of windows.

worked fine.
still some elbow grease needed (sold separately  ;))
