Try a product called "Invisible Glass". You can get it at most auto parts stores. And the best thing to use with it is newspaper. Paper towels or cloths often have softeners in them which cause streaking. Newspaper gives streak free cleaning.

a 50/50 mix of White vinegar & water is ideal. Ammonia is not a good choice as it will (not can, WILL) make your window tint peel. A claybar is another item that you can get (runs about $12-18 at any auto parts store/department) and includes details and instructions on how to use it. This will help remove many types of contaminants on your car windows and paint, as well as waterspots.
If there are waterspots on your windshield, they are most likely on the rest of your car and windows, so be careful what you use. Check out the link in my sources for a great website on car detailing tips from worldwide professionals.
Remember, don't use ammonia, as it will strip window tint! Stoner Invisible Glass is a great cleaning agent (though it is not designed to, nor does it do well at removing waterspots, especially aged or "cooked" ones). Invisible Glass is a non-ammonia cleaner so it will not damage your window tint.

The best way to get old waterspots off any glass is with a amonia based cleaner...you can use 1/2 amonia and 1/2 water if you want. Just spray on like glass cleaner and wipe clean with newspaper. If it does not just "wipe clean" you can get a scotch bright (green scrubbie) and lightly scrub then wipe off with the paper.

anything that is acidic. Be careful though because it is very caustic to metal parts. The acid will desolve the salt deposits. I would say muriatic acid or HCl would stip it off but it will also rust and dissolve the metal on your car if it is not all rinsed away and left there for a period of time. Just use the vinegar suggestion, since it is only slightly acidic. Make sure you rinse your car very well though.

take some toothpaste and rub on the spot, then wipe clean with a dry towel.
