I noticed these strange silvery looking marks on my drivers rear window and my windshield. All I can think of is ice scraper marks. It appears to have damaged the tint.

I was under the impression factory tint was a dye placed into the glass when it was made. Can anyone confirm that?

Also does anyone know if I can try and polish that out? I'm worried that tint is actually a surface application and I will make it worse.

Ha. Thanks. It's also my profile pic in the car. Been listening to maiden since I was 16. My first ever concert was Maiden on the Powerslave Tour back in 1985. Queensrÿche opened. They were touring their debut album.

I listen to them pretty much every day.
