Did you mean Invisible Glass by "Stoner's". I swear by that shit, and some crumpled newspaper to wipe it off.

Water spray bottle and newspaper for the windows
Actually leaves it streakless if you do it right
Little bit of vaseline on the dash + interior
All the stuff that Autozone or Pepboys sells for wheels usually are pretty good
Just comes down to your preference of brand

I use Meguiar’s Ultimate Quik detailer for my windows, works quite well as a glass cleaner. For wheels I use Meguiars Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo because I dont want to spend money on wheel cleaner and I polish the lips with mothers mag and aluminum polish.

invisible glass. I also have water spots but on the passenger window. I've tried certain cleaners to get it off, but dont seem like its going to work. Best advice, head to junk yard and get another one. I just dont have the time/money yet.

wax??? Ima trythat when i get to my parents house. See if that takes out my water spots.
after you wash ur car use a squeegee on all glass and you wont have any water spots. they make one you can use on paint as well its great.

You can polish the glass with a cleaner wax.. Stoner's IG is pretty good for regular cleaning, but smells terrible LOL and it won't usually remove hard water spots.
To "make wheels sparkle" just use car was soap + water + MF cloth to clean.. When I'm done I dry with MF towel + compressed air and spray/wipe with Meguiars ultimate quick detailer.
Most our wheels are clear coated, if you try to use most wheel cleaners they will stain the clear (give a milky white/rainbow appearance)! Depends on the kind of wheel you're trying to clean up!

you can also use a very fine steel wool to get rid of hard water spots

^ i was just about to say that. steel wool. but on the mirror try not to push too hard. spray windex then steel wool, then wipe off. to clean the windows. windex then wipe off then use towel. fold into how ever many you need til you get 2 sides about 2 hands size and use one side to always wipe off the wet, then the other side to wipe off anything left. works great. for wheels meguir's super degreaser and "wheel cleaner" which is acid. works great on chrome and painted wheels. for polished or or that brushed aluminum wheel thing just soap and scrubber.

FYI: Only use steel wool and windex on non-tinted windows...
