Tried the $40 Amazon stuff.
I sometimes have to leave the truck overnight and it gets hit with sprinklers with very hard water. Even after washing spots are still there. Is the $100 stuff that much better?
Links appreciated..

I use griots 3 in 1. It’s really affordable and easy to apply. Like previously mentioned just reapply every few months after a proper car wash. Make interim washes a breeze and most stuff just wipes off.

tried it after a project farm video and have been impressed so far, especially for the price.

Also try their synthetic clay bar on the windows along with soap or speed shine. Works wonders.

Ive been super happy with Adams Polishes Graphene Ceramic Coating. The kit w/o light is @125 and with the current 26% sale is @$95. I've covered my truck twice and my wife's car and I still have enough left to do more. Truck parked outside all the time.

Second the Adams...you may also want to get the graphene coating specifically for glass, it has more solids in the mix to fill in the porosity of the glass better.

It’s important to remove them early before they have time to etch into the coating or paint surface.

Water spots are typically mineral deposits left behind after water evaporates, especially from hard water or sprinklers. Even with a ceramic coating, you can still get water spots — coatings help with hydrophobic behavior and protection, but they don’t completely stop mineral deposits from forming.
