Ditto on the "BarKeepersFriend". If the deposits are severe purchase some "fine"-"BronzeWool" at a marine supply store. BronzeWool isn't as aggressive as steel wool.
The effectiveness of acid "Lime Away" depends on the content of the minerals in the deposit. Dried well water deposits on glass and porcelain from our area are unaffected by any acid treatments I've tried. "Bar Keepers Friend" or other such products suitable for ceramic cooktops work well............

It's the same with CLR.
Regardless of what is done, tape off all trim around the window. Bar Keeper's Friend is slightly abrasive, hence why it is so effective. Rubbing compound would work, but I would recommend using a random orbital or rotary polisher and medium polish/compound. It works well, but if it's aged too far you'll have to hit it with something heavier. I had an experience last year with a 91 SEL with horrendous spotting, and the random orbital with compound alone did not remove it, so just try various things - you'll get it.
...Just don't use ajax, that's a pointless waste of time.

How about break out the comet and a 3m sponge? will that work?
There are plenty of ways to clean glass, and the particular method you listed below is actually a liquid clay with mild abrasives. 90% of the products effectiveness is on embedded contaminants, not waterspots. So, if waterspots are heavy enough, you must use a more aggressive method, hence the 91 SEL reference. This type of product couldn't remove the heavy, aged spotting from the glass alone - it required stronger methods.
Alright, enough of your "advice", like claying a car before even washing it. Terrible, you have no credibility.
Why don't you at least provide them with how to use it, since you've actually done research to find a product that actually works, not like you use it, considering this is the first time you've ever brought this up, even after discussing glass cleaning. If I keep calling you out, maybe you'll establish a half-decent detailing procedure. Imagine that.
Autoglym glass polish won't work nearly as well alone, i recommend using this with a rotary polisher, but a random orbital will work also, just not quite as well.

and while you're chewing the pimples off my butt, you could've mentioned this yourself instead of posting "try various things..."
Page one, everyone has been explaining various methods. If you are going to generalize my advice into that statement, I think you should re-evaluate your own in that time.
Overall,
I find your comments demeaning, unprofessional, and uncalled for. What you said here is inappropriate, just as your language was in the other thread.
People, I hope I will only have to say this once...
This is a forum for discussion and exchange of detailing methods and products. Not everyone will agree that one thing or another will work. Everyone has his/her own practices and products that they use. If someone's methods do not agree with yours, you are certainly free to post your differences. Thats what discussions are for. Just because someone does something a different way, even if it sounds ridiculous, so be it. It's their car.
However, this is NOT a forum for name calling, cursing, insulting or otherwise unprofessional practices. Anything directed at another user to insult or demean that user will NOT be tolerated and will be dealt with accordingly.
Lets get back on track with the true reason we are all here...to discuss detailing and not to throw sand into somones eyes.
