actually try denatured alchohol first - i use it at work all the time for tree sap, tar, road paint, etc. and its paint safe -sulfuric acid could screw some stuff up seriously-

laquer (sp) thinner, claybar, or rubbing alcohol...

Spray brake cleaner on a papertowel, and rub the spots. Worked for me.

have you tried the house hold cleaner "bon ami"??? I use that stuff religiously on my older cars. I haven't found something that cleans and removes all dirt/chemicals as well as this.

BMW even put this in a service bulletin for cleaning windshields that have been pitted over the years.

I recommend doing this prior to washing your to get all the bon ami off once you are done.

00 or finer steel wool, use with a sopy water solution in a spry bottle. Trust me it will work. If not, it's etched in the glass.

Try the household cleaner Barkeepers Inn, its worked for me in the past, if that dont work, just try waxing them w/ paste wax
