There are glass polishing products available for that, but most are supposed to be used with a machine polisher for best results.
One of the best things I've found for that is use the cream cleaner for glass top ranges. You can find it in most grocery stores in the kitchen cleaners section. The stuff works excellent, is easy to use and leaves a coating on the glass that water won't adhere to.

Great idea!! I use it on the range top, but never thought about using on glass. I am going to the garage and give it a try. Thanks.
I would try using a claybar on the glass; it won't remove water spots that have etched the clearcoat but it might work fine on glass unless that too has been etched.
I just bought a new car with the same problem; water spots on the glass. I resorted to an old trick I was shown by a detailer. Use 0000 steel wool and light polishing compound such as Zaino ZPC. Worked great and did not harm the glass.

0000 steel wool works great on glass and won't scratch.
Our DP Glass Restorer has a very healthy group of faithful including Bugman who did a write up. Works well by hand and super by machine.

You could go to Home Depot and for about $7 buy a product called Spot-X for hard water stains. I worked hard on an SUV with Stoners, windex, polish, rubbing compound, steel wool, silver polish, etc. Nothing worked. Used this and the results were amazing.
It comes in a powder that you mix with water on a sponge. Kinda messy but the results were spectacular for removing spots. Google their site and read more
According to their site it will not harm the paint. Just dont rub it in. Rinse off immediately.
I used blue painters tape around the area and also laid down some cloth for protection. I didnt want any drips on the paint at all. I would not take a chance with any product even if they said it was OK> A little extra prep time is not a big deal.
You could also try Bon Ami powdered cleaner. They make one that's safe on glass and works wonders on cleaning road grime off windshields. I usually keep can in the garage just for that purpose.
If all else fails, because some waterspots etch there way into the glass, you MUST use an orbital polisher (makita) and a polish especially for this purpose. Glass takes a while to polish, and you don't want to build up hit. I removed scratches and all the waterspots, but it took 2 applications of 20 minutes of polishing each section at a slow speed.
Forget doing it by hand, you'll be doing it until next Christmas !
The only way you know if you did get all the spots is to use a special light or angle the glass into the sun a certain way to highlight every single imperfection down to the bacteria level ! I can't stand glass that isn't as perfect as the hubble telescope mirror. Good luck !
The water in Floridea is hard as a rock and leaves water spots all the time. I found that a mixture of water and white distilled VINEGAR worked quite well. Some spots were extremely tough to remove and , belive it or not, I read about steel wool. Much to my surprise, the steel wool worked great and did not scratch the glass. I tested it on a smal sectionj first, just to make sure.
