Griot's fine glass polish worked great for me on a car I bought new a few years ago, that after washing the first time, I noticed had what appeared to be water spots or calcium deposits on the windshield, and less so on the side windows. I tried vinegar, windex, and lots of elbow grease, but nothing worked, so I got the Griot's fine glass polish and it worked great.
I then checked the windshield and side windows on my other (2 year old) car, and there were slight water marks when you looked at an angle. Polished those away as well.

Been awhile since I frequented the autopia forums, but I believe a mixture of rubbing alcohol and water will get that out. Be sure to follow it with a good polish/wax though.
Oh and stop parking next to the sprinklers.

The polish will remove the Rejex, so you'll probably want to apply it again to the windshield.
