go to walmart and find some fine steal wool and pull off a little chunk and just start scrubbing your windows.

I dunno...magic, but it's never failed me at getting my windows crystal clear. I picked up the skill when I spent a summer working at a body shop where we would get used rental cars and make them look brand new for auction. and on the side a wrecker would bring us wrecked cars that we could pick up cheap and fix up and sell them at auction as well. Turned a great proffit and I never had a problem getting the windows back to clear.
basically it works like a razor blade would, but multiply it by like a 1000 because of the fine threads and you can press as hard as you want it wont scratch the glass.
it can't hurt to try, nor to have steel wool around the house, cooks use it to get all the baked on **** off pots and pans, and takes rust off pipes and shines them back up and stuff, it's like a sand paper that wont scratch stuff

If it was acid rain then the windows are etched and that won't come off. The acid will eat small pools into the glass which are different than water spots (which are just deposits of minerals from evaporated water). The only way to fix etching would be to grind down the glass to make a uniform surface. That involes abrasives, which can clump and cause major unrepairable swirls (been there, done that).
Hopefully yours is just stubborn water spots. Have you tried RainX? It has strong cleaning chemicals in it.

water spots contain calcium and lime i believe. My friend had water spots on his corvette and used a lime remover like:
C.L.R. Remover
Try it. Be sure to dilute it at first in case some gets on the paint. If the diluted version doesn't work, try the full fledged out of the bottle way. Spray it on let it work a few moments and hopefully wipe away the spots.
Good luck! Hope it works!

Steel wool didn't cut it man? The right side of my civic was horrible until I tried it.
On a side not, don't screw up and buy scotch brite, it uses tiny pebbles and will scratch the crap out of them (found out the hard way on the first trip to get steel wool) lol.
I honestly don't know what to tell you. That is some serious stuff if the wool won't get it off.
