Hard Water Spots On Windows
Does anyone know a way to remove these without too much hassle?

I know a water softener would help but I'm just looking for something to help for now and after the fee washes I do.

I have good luck with lava soap (can be found at the mart in the auto section) and 70% alcohol. Spray the IPA and use the bar soap like a clay bar. Sounds funny, but i tried many other products with little to no results.

None, obviously you clean the glass prior, but the alcohol works like a clay lube would. I clean the glass, spray it down with ipa, soap bar, spray again and buff clean with a micro fiber. I was about to try polishing the glass, but was surprised this worked for me and cost under ten bucks. I have a bottle of chem guy stuff that did nothing, neither did a normal clay bar.

I use a little more aggressive rubbing compound and a orbital for the bad spots.
