Try clay bar, Bon-ami light scrub, light polish.

Thanks for the link,
not a lot of info, except razor blades and motorized buffers/polishers. Never had this problem before this new truck. I know Ford has/had it's own glass plant in Michigan, must be a Ford thing.

Have you tried full strenght vinegar?

Water spots are minerals left behind, these minerals are alkaline based so using an acid will take them off. Sometimes the strenght of the acid needs to be stepped up, in that case my next step is Chemical Guys water spot remover. It works really well in glass showers too!

Here is a quick article on the subject.
