Before I do anything serious I would like to hear any proven results from actual users in the MB world.
Thanks,

Steel wool is a common solution from the days of hotrods. So is use of certain kinds of acid. You'll have to look that up yourself. BUT if you're referring to the dots that speckle these windows (front or rear) then neither will work. The problem is INSIDE the window itself as the lamination ages it forms these pits. Remember your SLC has a rear tempered glass similar to the windshield. Removing it and replacing them is done VERY carefully as they are uber prone to cracking.

As far as "proven"? Well you'll just have to take my experience and word for it.
