Give Scrubbing Bubbles bathroom cleaner a shot - I use that to clean the soot off the transom of my boat and clean the interior. I keep finding new uses for this stuff, who knows, this might work on your glass.

On the other hand, think "scrubbing bubbles" would work for carbon buildup on the tailpipes? |

Similar to magic eraser, I wouldn't think scrubbing bubbles would scratch. This is another product we've used in the bathroom and in the shower... again, all glass - largely to remove soap scum and film from the glass. I haven't noticed it scratching anything. But worth testing it out.

Hard to tell from the photo if the something is on the glass or it is damaged, but either way it should be fixable either by cleaning or polishing. Have you ever seen the cars detailing videos from AMMO NYC? Maybe a bit over the top car detailing, but I like watching them and picked up a few good car cleaning tips. Here's one about cleaning the windshield. Maybe something in this video may work, razor blades, polishing compounds etc. I think this guy is in your area, maybe have him give it a try?

though glass is pretty tough I'd still be cautious. Clay bar may work.

Still have what's shown on my windshield in the first picture above. Dealer previously polished out similar from my driver’s door window, but determined that the vertical lines on the other door windows are from tint delamination.
My windshield has gotten a little better since, but I’d like to resolve same and the dealer just wrote this: “That work was done via a small orbital polisher and a glass glazing compound. Its hard water staining, so it needs to be removed with an abrasive compound. The technician who did that work was doing so only to prove what it was by cleaning up a piece of the glass. This is not our normal scope of work, and at our hourly labor costs it makes no sense to do that work here. My recommendation is to find a glass shop that does window polishing and have them do the work for probably less than a hundred bucks. Look for a small mom and pop type shop.” Anyone know of any shops on Long Island near Manhattan that would do same for my windshield? Thank you. |

Not WD-40. Will leave an oil-like coating, although it should wear off over time.

Hey man, I use this stuff to clean off pretty much everything in my car. Even old dirty greasy stains come off without a need for a steamer. It works on windows too.
