Default Nasty spots on outside of glass

Guys I searched for a thread on this topic and didn't find one, so if there is one someone post it and I'll be on my way. Otherwise, here's my problem: it looks like hot dried wax spots or something on the outside of my windshield, passenger and rear glass. It's not really even noticable unless you inspect the car thoroughly. I'm thinking the guy who had the car before me took it through one of those robotic car washes and the wax frenched up the glass. Is there any kind of cleaner I can get that will take the spots off? I don't want to mess up the paint since I just got the car painted. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Whitty

are you sure it is wax or could it possibly be acid rain waterspots? if it is acid rain i would try some vinegar and get arazor blade paint scraper and clean the window scraping the glass with the razor blade. Its the same way to clean a window prior to applying window film. I clean my windshield this way and you would not beleive how clean it gets it. just a thought.

Here is a thread I started at Corral.net. I had the EXACT same problem as you and now I have perfectly clean windows. Be sure to read the entire post, because there is only one way that it will work! Follow this link and thank me later.

Let me know if you have any problems. Like I said there is only one way it will work and it takes some elbow grease, but its definately worth it. Good luck
