A good carnuba wax should do the trick... if not...
Try a mild solvent like Rain X, then wax the area of the paint you used the Rain X on afterward. If the ones on the window are really stubborn, use a light duty steel wool with water. These solutions have worked for me everytime.

I wouldn't get steel wool near the car, but that's just me. Rainx took mine off the glass, but I
wouldn't use that on the paint. My carnuba made an improvement on the water spots. Try that first. If not I would assume you have or will have swirls to get rid of and the usual treatment for that should take care of water spots.

A super fine steel wool used lightly will not scratch the windows PERIOD, but I can...
understand your question. As for the other guy who would never get steel wool near his car... it is something only the brave, attention-to-detail person should attmept. If you are an uncoordinated klutz with club hands, I would not go near my car with steel wool either. Honestly though, it sounds like vinegar might work best, and if that don't work, break out the steel wool.

FYI - Rain X can be used on the paint to remove stubborn things...
it's milder than Bug & Tar Remover. Believe me, it's okay and will even remove other peoples bumper and paint residue w/o having to use any much harsher polishing componds!!! Just wax the area afterward as it will strip waxes.
Rain X is dope and much more versitile than just a windshield application.
