Truck windows "rusting"
For lack of a better term, my driver side window is doing something similar to rusting. It has black speckly stuff on it, and I can't get it off. I've pressure washed it, I've rubbed it, i even took a knife and it won't scrape or scratch off. Do windows deteriate like this or is it just some really stubborn gunk?

A clay bar resembles play dough and used to get railroad grime off new cars and years of contamination off of paint etc before polishing and waxing. Certainly acceptable for glass also as 95fiveoh mentioned. It may work for your issue but the pits will still be there. I would not rule clay bar out but I think you would have better removing power with 0000 steel wool in your case, but the pits will remain. I have used both on light window scratches with limited success. Sandy

It would probably look like a small rock chip. Structural integrity should not be compromised. You could find the biggest one and use a pick to work around it for removal and see how it looks to you. Tough to say without seeing it. Just experiment at this point is about all you can do. Sandy

That probably answers all my questions. Thanks everyone for the replies
If I get it off I might post a pic just so it can be known what the end result is/the consequences of grinding near glass. It wasn't even me, it was the previous owner
