Clay bar or steel wool works pretty good.

I used this with some elbow behind it. Worked pretty well.

I tried the Mothers product, but to no avail...

I also tried clay bar with some spray on wax last time I was waxing my car...didn't work. Maybe not enough pressure?

I have tried Spot X, but it put a scratch in my window grrrrrrr.

I'm tempted to purchase the Pinnacle product, but hesitant to throw down $50.

Has anyone else used the vinegar method?

I have not had to use vinegar on the car glass yet but my wife has used straight vinegar to clean the patio windows where the pool water gets splashed etc.. works well. Not sure if it would matter yet just keep it off the paint etc..
