That is, of course, if I choose nit to live with it the way it as.
Use "Bartenders Friend" (looks like Comet bathroom cleaner can) that you can pick up at the local grocery or department store. It is a very mild abrasive glass polish for dishes.

Wearing gloves, use an old sock or something and pour a small amount on the end of the sock, mix this with water. It should be a light paste consistency. Then rub the windshield using small circling mitions.

Do this in 6" X 6" ares until your finished. Use plenty of water to lubricate the areas.

I had the same problem and mine looks like new now. Did the same it all windows and outside mirrors. WOW, what difference. It's such a mild abrasive that it's just enough to clean this and water marks up well.

Bon Ami works well, too. It won't get everything but you will be amazed.
