Is there anything I can do about my windshield?

I am not talking about waxing it OLT. Waxing is the last step. You put wax on something after it is perfectly clean and polished to protect your work.
The reason I suggested Prepsol, Thinner, or the 3M gen ad. rem. is because they are really powerful at removing stuff like tar, baked on grease or other substances that have really bonded with the surface. If a chemical can't remove it, then you can try a compound, which is abrasive to try and polish it out.
Waxing obviously won't do anything to that.

I'm with it, I was just mobile and skimming along on 3G. I'm about over this windshield. I brillo padded the damn thing and it didn't change a BIT, but any clear fluid makes it disappear the same way water on a faded paint job makes it look nice. Friday if the local auto glass place is open I'm going to give them a look at it and decide what they tell me is best.

O.L.T., for clarification, have you taken anything to the inside of the windshield? It sounded like you were assuming it was on the outside just because it's not visible when wet. I've detailed probably over 100 cars and never had ran into glass that couldn't be cleaned. Windshields with wiper marks is common though. Hand rub some polish or compound to it and let us know the outcome. I would hate to see you replace the windshield for no reason.

i don't recommend sand paper. the previous owner of my SC used sandpaper in several areas on a few of the windows and there are permanent scuffs/scratches that will not go away with anything i try. luckily window visors were able to hide the largest scuff i have on my driver side window 
glass polish is the only thing i could think of as a good solution

Curious on why people assume sanding is the best way to remove it despite knowing glass is very difficult to polish out...
Oddly enough I have this similar problem in the back window of my Camry recently. Haven't had a chance to remove it but I'll have to on Sunday since I have to send my car to K&N for development purposes so I'll see what cures it. I have a bottle of Autoglym Glass Polish I could try out so hopefully that resolves it.

Eastwood glass polishing kit. This is an amazing product that works on glass like a polish does on paint.
