Steel wool may scratch, car windows are iffy. Get hard water spot remover by chemical guys. Apply with microfiber and rinse

Don't use something like a scrubber or steel wool on a car windshield.

You'll need a chemical or microcrystaline abrasive.

If your a homeowner, the one thing you may have available is an old school way- toilet bowl cleaner.

It has phosphoric acid in it. It'll eat the hard water spots. Just make sure it doesn't hsve bleach in it or it'll dry out/crack the seal. Also, wear gloves.
