These water stains really irratate me, and hard to get off.
What do I spray on that will get it off and not damage the glass coating and nearby paint?

Whatever you do, don't use Ajax or Comet cleanser as this will not only take off the stain, it will scratch the **** out of your wife's windshield, causing you to sleep on the couch for along time.quote:

Bon Ami is about the only thing i'd use on a windshield. BMW even had a service bulettin out for using it on 89-91 5 series' windshields.quote:

Don't ask me how I know this...

I second the use of Bon Ami. Probably the BEST windshield cleaner out there. GM even recommends its use, and even sells it under the GM Vehicle Care name.quote:

Thanks.

Thanks.Bon Ami will not directly endorse the use of its cleaner on glass, but if BMW and GM reccomend its use, then I don't see why it can't be used for such. I don't think bon ami wants to take liability for its mild cleaner having the possibility of scratching glass.
I think there are different kinds of bon ami, so be careful of what one you use.
I also heard this was true way back when. But is this still true since they switched to soy-based ink about 10 years ago?quote:

Still works. I think the abrasiveness is the paper itself.quote:
