I went to get my car washed and there were still water spots on the windows and the car. I asked the guy there what it was and he said it was acid rain. I can get the spots off the paint with wax, but i can't get them off the windows.
Any ideas how i can get the spots off the windows? I tried soap and water, windex, proffesional auto glass detailer, but nothing works.

Like the other gentleman stated, you're not going to get them off simply by washing it. Also because the acid rain "etched" the glass cause it sat there too long. Acid is used to make some Etched glass.

You are correct! Nothing works! Now you either can take it to a glass shop and have them try and buff the glass out, or, replace the most important glass, such as the windshield. By the way, Rain-X only sheets water off the glass and does not protect or refinish glass. It also is a horrible product if you get any oil on your windshield as it smears and does not sheet the water off. I know because we used it on our Pro SCCA race car.

Most kinds of acid do not effect glass unless it's hydrofluoric acid. If that is falling on your head kiss your butt goodbye. Your windows might have a coating on them that is damaged. Go to a professional glass place or detail-er and ask there opinion.

the ink in newspaper will help in getting rid of some but not all spots.
i usually spray windex or any glass cleaner on then wipe the glass with a piece of newspaper.

take a bottle of coca-cola and wash your windshield with it. the acid in the coke will clean the hell out of it.
