Here's an update on the spot issue. I've lived with the spots for the few months that I've had the car and they annoyed me to no end. I tried all sorts of things to remove the spots with no luck. Brillo pad, razor blade and vinegar, everything. No joy.

So today I went down to Autozone a couple miles away to recycle a pan full of old oil and pick up some clamps, CV grease, and miscellanous junk. I found this paste called Glass Scrub and asked if anyone at the store had used it but no one had. I bit the bullet and spent the $4 for a tube then came back to the house and applied the paste according to the directions then started scrubbing with a sponge. It *appeared* that it may have been working but I couldn't tell. i went to the garage and grabbed a reciprocating sander then applied the paste to a buffing pad and started polishing the window. Wouldn't you know, the stuff worked! I had thought everything like that was a gimmick. After that I took about 2 hours and buffed out all the glass on the car that had the spots. Now the original glass that was formerly spotted up enough to cause awful glare is clear as a bell. (I'm not affiliated with the producers of this product in any way whatsoever.)

Now that the glass is clear and spot-free, I'm extremely pleased. I really love my Benz.
