R we talk’n window spots or paint spots ?
Window spots should come out with a good quality glass cleaner BUT if there is a high level of acid rain then there is a no go on that, they may never come out.
If it is paint, then using at least a micro material cloth and wipe the truck down directly after washing BUT again if there is acid rain then they might never come out.
You might try a Polishing Compound after the wash. make sure the vehicle surface is cool, like in the shade before doing the compound. Make sure it is a Polishing Compound and not a Rubbing Compound, big diff.
Then apply Polish and buff with a electric Polishing machine.
Just talking, try them out and see...

I used to have the spots you are talking about, went wheeling on old farmland and i think it was some kind of leftover pesticides/fertilizer or something, It would not come off no matter what i tried, they only thing that work was sending her to the scrap pile (I didnt want to let her go)

I use vinegar to remove hard water spots from glass. Works best to use newspaper with the vinegar (the ink acts as a mild abrasive). If that doesn't work, use a machine and a heavy polish or compound to remove the water spots. I use M105 on either an orange or yellow 6.5" LC CCS pad.
Does anyone make a buffing compound for Glass, that might do it too.
Let us know what you do and how it work out, interesting problem.

Use this stuff, it works.
CRL "Sparkle" Cleaner and Stain Remover. Google search "sparkle sp101" and you'll find it.
Make sure it isn't the regular glass cleaner, but the stain remover. A window tint shop suggested using it on my old ranger that had horrible water spots. I couldn't get rid of them with anything else that I tried. This stuff took a lot of scrubbing but it worked.
