Default Windshield Polish?

Whenever I drive directly into the sun I can really notice how much my front windshield has old water spots or calcium deposits. Amazing but any other time the windshield looks brand new. So my question is if any of you know of any great products on the market that will remove old water spots. I don't have a polisher so I must do it by hand. I really appreciate your help advice! Thank you...

Clay your windshield. Watch that Amo guy YouTube.

I simply use RainX to clean my windshield. The calcium deposits are from the hard water you are using. I have a water softener in my house so I don't have that problem. A quick way to address that is to put a few drops of bleach on a wet towel and wipe down your car after washing it. Then dry it off and you will not have the deposits. By they way, those deposits are also on your car...not just the windshields.

Try a 50/50 mix of vinegar and distilled water to clean your windshield. Put the mixture into a new/clean spray bottle and spray on your windshield. Let it sit for 5 minutes and then wipe clean with a microfiber rag. May take a couple applications, but it will work great. If needed, I do this just prior to washing the car. Hope this helps.
