Hard Water Stains on Glass

I was in a parking garage the other day and water from a pipe driped on my mini. It left a stain that I can't get off on the windshield. Does anybody know how to get it off?

Try wetting a paper towel with vinegar and pressing it down over
the mineral deposit for a while. It should dissolve it. Then wash it
off and dry it.

If chemicals don't work then simply use some Glass Polish, which is slightly abrasive and should get anything off your glass. I do so twice a year to get the windows super clean.

I've also read a few posts in this forum about using the claybar on your glass as well. I might give that a shot seeing as I have a little left over from detailing my car the other day.
