Default Front windshield, do you have?

As bad a water spots on your front windshield as mine on your 2013 F150. Last night driving in rain it was almost impossible to see when a another vehicles lights hit my front windshield. I cleaned inside and no go. It is the outside. I tried Mother's water spot remover and that is useless crap product. Can anyone offer any advice or recommendations on a product that truly works to clean your windshields of water spots. Anything that can be used w/o having to buy a buffer to do it. Suggestions?

Those spots are from acid rain. Razor blade with windex works great but if they're really stubborn, try Bar Keeper's Friend.

Be very careful with razor blade. A stainless steel is better. You can put scratches in your glad if your not careful.

Clay bar for your front windshield? I tried a few water spot removers and they suck still can see spots after your done. Wish these manuf would put tear a ways like Nascar,,whe it is dirty pullaway and bam new windshield. This is ultra annoying, gotta find a product that will live up to its advertising.

Bar keepers friend doesn't say for glass. That is like using soft scrub. I was hoping to find a product that might actually work. Meguiars and Mothers are a waste of your money so if anybody is considering using,,Dont. Save your money. I was hoping there was a true glass waterspot remover that could actually work on our F150 windshields.

What is the point of making the thread if you aren't going to take everyone's advice?
Clearly-no pun intended- it's worked for them and that is why they're recommending the products.

x2 for barkeepers friend, works great on glass. My wife told me about how she used the stuff when she tended bar years before we were a couple.
