Post Permanent Water Spots?

Hey Guys,

My windows are very badly spotted and streaked. I've tried every trick I've heard of: hot water, vinegar, steel wool, Eagle's 20/20 and even Z12 Glass Polish. Is there anything left for me to try. Nothing seems to have even made a dent. Is my only remaining option to replace the glass?

Thanks,
Josh

Z-12 will remove any water spot from any window if you use it right, for a bad case like yours you have to use pressure with your hand to remove the spots, take a cotton cloth and put a quarter size dot of Z-12 on it, rub a 2 to 3 inch square area using back and forth motions using a lot of pressure pressing down hard on the cloth, keep rubbing it back and forth until the glass starts to squeak, at this point the glass is free of spots. Repeat this until you have covered the entire glass area. You can not just apply Z-12 like wax and expect it to do anything, you must use pressure and rub very firmly for the abrasives in the Z-12 to grind off the water spots.
