You most likely have mineral stains on the glass. Depending on the stage of damage, you may be able to fix it.
Try Never Dull first. I am a professional window polisher. If that does not work go to J.Racenstein.com to order a product better suited for your chemical deposits.
In the past, I've heard that kerosene will take off the spots you're talking about. After using the kerosene, you'll want to wash and dry your windows.
Use Dawn dish soap in water and a squeegee. It is much easier to get things streakfree with a squeegee, and you will not have hardwater spots either.
If it is not just streaks on your windows, we need more details to give more help.
I would try spraying white vinegar on the windows and then rinse them. I find that white vinegar solves almost all of my problems. I sprayed the green mold on the side of my mobile home and then rinsed it and it looks like new. And, it will not harm plants, pets or kids. It will help keep the ants and bugs away.
They may not be spots on the outside of the glass, but condensation between two panes of glass. This usually occurs if the seal between the panes is broken.
Here is just a complete out of the blue suggestion, but what if you soap the windows, or windex them and then try a paint scraper to remove the gunk? The kind with a razor blade in it.
Personally, I'm a 409 girl for my outside windows. I'd also try sudsy ammonia, but I don't know how it affects plants, children, pets. Try it with a stiff bristle brush. Good luck!
How do you remove spots from windows? Not sure if it's hard water or just staining from never being cleaned.
