Don't wax the window! One thing that causes that kind of spotting is getting the wax at an automatic car wash. It's nasty, nasty stuff that does go away in time -- if the car has been to one of those automatic washes.
Water "Stains" on Exterior Glass.....Solution?
Hey guys....
This isn't specific to the STi or anything, but I've really been torqued by something going on with the glass on my fiance's Maxima and I know it's a common thing.
All of the glass on her car has this watermark to it. You wipe it down, and you can see spots, drips....as if there are stains from hard water or something. I have NEVER had this on any of my personal cars, but I'm wondering if it isn't because I had wax on all surfaces within days of buying.
Does anyone else get this on their glass....and are their products that remove it? I've used many glass cleaners, several waxes....all to no avail.

What I just noticed about my STi....
I spent an outrageous amount of time soaking in the wisdom of Autopia today, and stumbled upon a possible solution:
The masters of detailing say that clay bars to remove all spotting from glass. You might give it a try -- I suspect it will do the trick.
I just ordered this kind:
