Windshield specks...how to remove? Glass polish?

I have hundreds of little "specks" on my windshield. I can barely feel them with my fingertips or nails. I tired using Griots' "fine glass polish" to no avail...wondering if it is worth tryign their regular (not fine) glass polish.

Have any of you guys found a better way to clean these specks off the windscreen?

Thx

BTW, I think most of us suffer from this problem.

I've heard clay bar works but have not tried it myself yet

Good to know...I'll post results from trying the Zaino, clay bar, and Griots heavier duty polish.

If its ON the glass rather than pitting, Bon Ami works pretty well

I was a bit skeptical so I started on a small corner, but it has worked well in getting overspray off the glass on my wifes car. I have not needed this on the S4 yet so you may want to start gently just in case our glass softer. I got this from a BMW TSB so it should be sae for our glass as well.
