As I have mentioned in the past, glass polishing takes a different approach to paint. Normally with paint, you would start with the least intrusive method and work up from there. Glass on the other hand is much harder and requires more aggressive compounds to see an effective difference.

First of all though, you could try a water spot remover such as CarPro Spotless. These sort of acidic chemicals help to break down the mineral deposits that have caused the spotting. You can also make you own by mixing water and white vinegar 50/50.

If you have no luck with that, you are then going to need to polish the glass. Any polishing compound with decent levels of cut can be used, however CarPro CeriGlass is what you want.

CeriGlass is specifically designed for the harder surface glass presents. It is available in kit form or by itself.

I would recommend the kit as it includes a hand applicator which you will definitely need. Even if you decide to use a machine polisher, the hand applicator is able to get into the edges of side windows that a polisher wont.

I would also say to order some Rayon glass pads, these are better at managing heat, important when dealing with glass, and are much thinner a traditional polishing pad.

You will also want to tape around the glass to prevent ruining the rubber trims.

Polished glass is wonderful, you will be surprised at how much rubbish is bonded to the glass over time.

I hit the VS Commodore over the weekend as part of my detail with Meguiars glass polish applied with the Shinemate DA polisher - wow what a difference it made to 26 year old glass !
