    Just use a polish. Any polish you’d use on paint you can use on your glass. You need a little abrasive.

    Carpro Ceri-glass is a glass specific polish if you want to try it. It would work for sure if the glass isn’t etched. But I’d try whatever polish I had on hand.

    Vinegar in a spray solution. Let it set a bit. If that doesn't work - lime away and the scrubber side of a kitchen sponge. Just keep it on the glass.

    Eagle One Wax As You Dry spray. Works great on glass, shiny parts and doesn't leave a film.
