Depends how long the hard water marks have been on the glass.
I would first try a limescale remover such as VIAKAL available from the supermarket.
If that does not work then consider a specialist mineral deposit remover.

If it's not too bad I've found just using a microfibre cloth over soapy water does the trick.  However, if it's heavier soiling as from a leaking overflow then Cillit Bang or equivalent usually does the trick. I've used the Lidl one and it works too.

Don't you just love it when your customers get the jet washer out and blast the patio or drive and leave the mess all up the windows for you
