Removing water spots from auto glass

My biggest gripe is the corners of the windshield(the parts the wipers can't reach) and my driver's side mirror. Both constantly get spotty on me. Any suggestions?
Mix half white distilled vinegar with half water. Use a micro rag and go in circular motion....will take a lot of elbow grease but eventually glass will be perfectly void of water spotting........I know you wanted more than this but possibly this will clean your glass...certainly can't hurt it...

I also use a vinegar solution, but 50:50 is waaaaaay strong. I use 1-2 tablespoons of white vinegar per gallon of water, and add 1-2 drops of Lavender oil to help cut the smell down. This solution works just as well as washer fluid as it does a manual cleaner.
