I'm no expert by any means but try two parts water 1 part vinegar solution I've heard of people doing that with some success.

Use cerium oxide (jewelers rouge/glass polish). You can get it on-line for approx. $10/20. TRUST ME is worth it. It makes it effortless.

The easiest way to do it would be glass cleaner nd steel wool. Just scrub for a bit nd wipe it off. If that doesn't work, get some aluminum brightener from kragen or anywhere that sells detail supplies. Let it sit on your window for 45 second to a minute nd a half. Then scrub with steel wool then use the glass cleaner to wipe it off. Nd keep wiping til you get off all the smudges from the aluminum brightener. Don't know whee your located, but if you're free sunday, bring it by my work, nd I'll help you out.

I can't tell you how many people I have seen use steel wool and come to me asking why their windows have scratches.
A claybar will work.

It sounds like your water spots have etched your glass… When contaminated water sits/bakes on your glass for week, months or in your case, years. This will most certainly be the end result. Unless you know what your dong, I would not recommend using steel wool of any grade. If you can wait a few days order the cerium oxide. If you cannot, try a liquid compound like Meguiars Ultimate Compound (you can buy this at any auto parts store). If you have a polisher of any sort, use it. If not some elbow grease and this SHOULD do the trick.

Steel wool does work. It just depends how coarse or fine the steel wool is. I detail cars at work and we use steel wool on every single new car that comes in and we never have one single scratch. We apply as much pressure as we want and it comes out perfect.
Look for some fine steel wool that feels almost soft to the touch and you'll be amazed what kind of wonders it works ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
[EDIT] Do not use steel wool on mirrors!!

000 or 0000 steel wool is what you need to clean with no scratches. Like stated in the post above mine, I have also used it on hundreds of cars with no scratches left. Little glass cleaner and bada bang
