Glass pitting / stain help

So both wings and one of the side awning windows had water infiltration. I’ve gotten the bulk of the stains off but there if some residual cloudiness and minor pitting remains.

I’ve found prior posts and used vinegar, muriatic acid, lime away along with blade and 0000 steel wool but it’s not making much of a dent.

Any additional suggestions ?

Thx in advance
Brad

If after everything you’ve tried, the cloudiness remains, your glass probably has micro scratches.

About the only thing I’ve seen work on micro scratched glass is 3M Glass Polishing Compound. You will need a rotary or orbital polisher to make it effective. The polish is typically only available to commercial shops, but Amazon has it (1 liter and expensive). You’d probably be better off seeing if you have a body shop nearby willing to do it.

If there is pitting, that’s probably not going away. Best of luck.
