The other day my boss came in here and said he splash hydraulic fluid on his glasses. Now he has tons a little spots that NOTHING will get them off. Does anyone have a Idea to get these clean. Thanks

Years ago whenever motor oil would get on my windshield from adjusting valves or doing something that allowed the oil to get on the windshield I would use coca cola or any other soda pop... My cousin told me about it a long time ago and it always worked...
Couldn't hurt and it may rot your teeth but shouldn't hurt the glasses...
Edit:
Raven I am thinking along with Joe U when he said coating on glasses... Only the fluid has permanently stained the coating...
Send him (or his glasses ) back to where he got them. They may know a secret and can clean them for him. Also in the future they make safety glasses that are big enough to cover regular glasses. You can find these most anywhere. Welding shops building supply houses etc...
I used to use those whenever I was in Chemistry lab back in high school and college... At 5 - 10 bucks a pair they are a lot cheaper than prescription eyeglasses...
I am sorry our home remedies did not work out for you and your boss...

Hydraulic fluid is a petroleum-based liquid.
Ivory dish soap on your fingertip, spread all over the glass, wait - let it break down the spots, rinse in warm water.

Tide Powder, warm water, Ammonia, Yellow or Green scrubber like you use for dishes, scrubbing!

You would think that some windex or dish soap would do the job if it was only hydraluic fluid.Maybe it was something that dries with residue in which case they could be cleaned with something like car wax.

If the glasses are _glass_ and with NO COATINGS and NOT IN PLASTIC FRAMES, any petroleum based solvent should work.
If plastics and/or coatings are present, try methanol or isopropanol.
