Try the vinegar solution first, as it is the least expensive way to go.

A couple product are available that address waterspots on glass:

Duragloss NO. 505 WATER SPOT REMOVER

Duragloss NO. 755 NU-GLASS
https://www.duragloss.com/new/products/gl-cleaners.htm

Duragloss products are available to CL members at a 15% discount:

Talking

From Zaino web site:

Zaino Z-18 ClayBar was designed to remove airborne contaminants, paint overspray, water spots, rail dust, industrial fallout, diesel fuel & catalytic converter residue and any other bonded surface contaminants from paint.
From the context of the other posts it sounds as if only your glass is spotted, but I'd think the paint has to be, too.
