Default Water spot remover?

I want to know where to buy this water spot remover, the person who did my tint said there was some spray on and wipe off product. I am talking about the product that removes those water droplets off the outside of your window. Does anyone know where to but it from?

Cheers.

mix up some vinegar and baking soda into a paste and rub it on in a circular motion, use an old cotton t-shirt or strong paper towel.
then wash it off with clean water.

heat treated safety glass is more prone to water marks due to the outside layer is softer than the inside of the glass because it is heat treated ,not all glass is the same . laminated glass is hard on the outside (still gets water marks but not as much)
