Default Still unable to get VERY VERY fine overspray off glass (HELP)

This is a very fine overspray on my windows, you can only see it when the sun hits it early in the AM or in the PM when the sun is setting. Any professional help would be great....Thanks
(I am almost certain it's spray paint - overspray, black & clear coat from painting my brake calipers)

Default It might acccually be pitting from small stone chips.

If that is the case you can not get it off.

There are some glass polishes out there that will help fill in some of the smaller ones & give a little more clarity. But you need a special foam pad, & a rotary polisher.

Default When the wipers go over the windshield, can you hear and see the wiper going over tiny rough spots?

I had overspray from the BMW dealer applying clearcoat and not masking the windows. All the windows were covered in clearcoat overspray. Running the wipers was like...

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh, Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh, and you saw nothing but a haze.

Traded the BMW in and bought an S4. Had sooo many dealer issues with that BMW, and this was the last straw.

Default I have water etching marks on my windows. I used glass polish without success and I'm thinking...

that I might try Menz 106 with a white pad on the window. Someone must have tried at least this...
