If that fails step up to claying the glass. A lot of times the vinegar will help, but not fix the problem so clay will help get what the vinegar can't.
After that if you still have spots move up to an abrasive polish. Something like our Swirl & Haze Remover or Severe Swirl Remover by hand or machine will get the job done. For very well bonded contamination that the clay can't remove sometimes it takes an abrasive to actually scour the surface clean.
Lastly if that fails, 0000 steel wool and lots of glass cleaner. Spray the wool and the glass liberally with glass cleaner and scrub the surface. It won't scratch so long as you keep the wool wet with cleaner and don't press excessively hard.
If after that you have spots remaining you are dealing with water etching, which means there is actual surface damage on the glass where the minerals ate into the surface. This only happens in the most extreme of cases and would require you to replace your glass.
