"Diamond Magic" glass polish - where can I get som

I have very bad water droplet marks all over my windows thanks to the previous owner who washed the car in bore water. I took it to a tinting place who recommended a product called "Diamond Magic".
He tried a small amount on one of my windows with a rag and it has come up looking brand new. However he wanted $300 to polish all my windows.
I have been trying in vain to find this product here in Australia, but I know you must be able to buy it because he had a big bottle of the stuff.
Can anyone help me out? My horrible windows are driving me crazy!
Thanks!

Try using some white vinegar on the droplet marks. Let me know what happens... .

ofey: White vinegar didn't do anything, thanks for the suggestion.
The patch on the right is where the tinting guy used Diamond Magic.
aspir3: Thanks for the link. I have seen it, but I can't find any info on where to purchase in Australia.

strange.
Do you have a melamine sponge?
You can find it in the cleaning section of most supermarkets. Brand name is something like
Xtreme Sponge or
Mr Clean Magic Eraser
You can read about it
here.

says they sell it on ebay, no luck though, and the website hasnt been updated since 2003. Perhaps send them an email, being the aust distributor they may have some old stock they are willing to sell you

Sent them an email a week ago and no response
I went to AutoBarn this morning and they suggested CLR and steel wool. Just tried it and it didn't work.
I asked them about Diamond Magic and they said it dropped off their system back in 2007.
Looks like getting the tinting place to do it might be the only way

I hope u find something as I too have a similar scenario caused by the 'spotfree rinse' chemical they use at the self wash car wash places....
I have water streaks all over the screen that is now worse since installing the Bosch wipers as they are so good at what they do.
I investigated and found suggestions of using vinegar with newsprint but haven't at the chance to try it yet....
Keep us posted with your progress
Any Autoglym product recommendations from anyone?

Autoglym do a Glass Polish I have not used it on water marks but it is good for getting baked on bugs off the glass.

The AutoGlym stuff didn't do anything. Not abrasive enough I think.

I managed to get in touch with the guy who wholesales it here in Australia. He can sell me a 500ml bottle for $25, which is pretty good!
