0000 steel wool and some glass cleaner, foaming type. Rub, worked for me. Work in small sections and wipe with microfiber frequently so it does not run onto the paint. Good Luck.

Bon-Ami cleaner. Just wet the spot and sprinkle powder on. Scrub with a damp cloth. Don't worry about the warnings on the new labels. It won't hurt glass. It also cleans windshields and makes the wipers stop chattering.

Does it remove very light scratches besides old water & dirt stains embedded on the surface of glass that no window cleaner will touch ?
The replacement back window for my 63 GP came from a 1963 Oldsmobile Starfire 2-dr.
The Olds sat in an Illinois barn since 1971.
Cleaned it as best as I could but old water & dirt stains turned to concrete hardness.
Just about an impossible back window to find today.
Special curved - concave rear window used only on the 1963 Grand Prix & 1963- 64 Olds Starfire.
Someone shot out my 63 GP with a high powered rifle back in the spring.
Found the bullet in the front of drivers seat.
SOB did not even say they were sorry.
Took off running I am sure.
On my list of things to get done before the 1st snow falls here in Illinois.

I'm not sure about the scratches but it will get all nasty contaminants off the glass. It looks just like Ajax or Comet but it doesn't scratch things at all. But boy, does it feel like it's scouring the glass. Real worrisome. When I first tried it about 1973 on my Charger I got scared because it felt like it was etching the glass.
I took it inside and the wife had just bought some new glass dinnerware. Because she wasn't home, I wet one of the new plates and put about 4-5 big shakes of Bon-Ami on. I scrubbed as hard as I could and it never left a scratch. Back to the Charger with a clear mind.

You & I are both slightly bad & devious hotrodders indeed.

I would do the same to try out an unknown cleaning product on wife's stuff here too.
Wife Kim just asked 2 minutes ago what I was laughing about.......
" Ah Nothing Hon,
Just my Bud Gunny on CF having fun again...."
Bon Ami.
The Yellow Metallic can of powdered cleaner with a Bo - peep girl with a cane & herding sheep for a company logo I recall.
I will look for it at my local Dollar General store tomorrow after work then.
Must be CERIUM Oxide abrasive in Bon Ami cleaner.
Only thing that cleans Glass as you described without scratching it.

Barkeepers Friend Saved Some Quarter Windows on a Mustang that nothing else worked on for me. No scratching and came out like new. It's pretty much like a fine comet.
