I agree, that's what I use. You can also stop by your local auto supply store. They usually carry a spot remover for windshields that works good with the 0000 steel wool.0000 Steel Wool
That looks like a problem I had with my Jetta. However I tried to clean it,nothing worked. It was mostly in the early morning when wet with dew that I noticed it. Turned out they had to replace the windshield because it was the deterioration of the lamination in between the two layers of glass. The dealer sad in 20 years it was only the second time he had seen it. Yours looks very much the same .. Hope not.Admittedly this really isn’t just a Jeep issue, but you all are helpful, so...
My wrangler is new, and I’ve been washing by hand. I have (hard) well water at my house, but have been using a softener for the first few washes. Today I didn’t use the softener to test the difference.
Basically, there’s a film on all of my windows that won’t even scrub clean. It looks like water dried on the windshield without it being wiped off, but I’ve hand dried it while still wet, and attempted to re-wet and scrub the stuff off. Nothing. I’ve also used an organic window spray (similar to windex) and that doesn’t help at all.
Any thoughts? I doubt it’s calcium or other mineral deposits because I’ve been using soft water, but maybe it’s salt deposits that just bake on at the slightest hint of being dried? Tips on preventing this and cleaning the stuff off that’s stuck on there?

Thanks Denny! Based on some of the earlier comments about clay and your response here, I'm going to order some of these products. Just went on the website and really appreciated the tutorials. Thanks!Frank,
Windows drive me crazy! Seems like i can NEVER get them clean enough.............until now! Just recently, I tried Griots glass cleaning clay............UNBELIEVABLE! My windows have never been this clean, completely spot free, and it wasn't really that difficult. Your windows look like they've been hit with hard water sprinklers, you may have to use some glass polish with an orbital polisher as well. Griots has you covered there as well. GO to their web page and check out their "how to videos". https://www.griotsgarage.com/category/how+to/how+to+glass.do I'm sure there are other products which work just as well, but Griots is so easy and everything you need is right there at your fingertips...........plus I like to support a fellow Hoosier. Also, their PFM Dual Weave Glass Towel is magic. I'm not associated with Griots in anyway, I just love it when I spend money on a product that really works. Good Luck.
Yeah let's hope not! That being said, the windshield is already cracked, though, so it won't be too long before I'll need to replace it.That looks like a problem I had with my Jetta.

That's worth a try to start with. Would certainly be cheaper.White Vinegar.
