I remember using years ago a professional-grade product I was given by the shop who painted my Camaro to take off paint overspray on glass. I used it for several years with great success to remove stubborn tree sap from the windshield.

I ran out of it and since it felt like a paint polish anyway I decided to try some today. I used some fin-cut polish on my Fastback's back window... It worked wonderfully. The glass is now smooth as... glass!

I moved on and did all windows and also the inside of the back window, which needed help. No hazing, no scratches...

Try it with a fin-cut polish and it should work out fine.

I was turned on to Bon-Ami years ago. It's a powderized kitchen cleaner. It works great, but is getting harder and harder to find.

Do NOT use Comet! Even though they look alike, Comet will scratch glass BIGTIME!

Acetone - just keep it away from painted parts.

That's too risky. Fine-cut polish does it smoothly and it won't get you high while doing it...

Yes, and stay away from 110 octane race gas.

It will get you high going in or coming out of an American V-8.
