    Can one clay the interior side of windows?

    I have tiny, pinpoint brownish spots on the inside of the driver's side window. I'm not sure what they are but they almost look like large pollen grains that settled on a car in the spring. I don't really notice them unless I'm at the right angle, but the window is not clean.

    The spots don't cover the entire window, and they don't come off with a basic window cleaner or an MF towel. I can catch my finger nail on the spot, but I don't want scratch the glass.

    Can one clay the inside glass window of a 99 BMW without damaging the glass? If so, is there a preferred method as I don't want clay lube running down inside the door panel.

    Any other suggestions?

    Try a razor blade ? Should work without any issues

    I know exactly what you're talking about. Unless your windows have aftermarket tint on them, you can just use glass cleaner and a razor blade and it will come right off without scratching the glass. I've had to do this a number of times.

    I will make it a point to get to it this weekend and will post results. My wife decided to have a Oscar Party last Sunday, so I spent two days cleaning the house and cooking for 14.

    The sacrifices one makes to play with cars...

    Thanks for the reco on the razor blades. It tooks multiple passes before I could no longer feel the micro spots on the glass. They were tough little buggers to get off and I still don't know what they were.

    The weather is supposed to be good for a few days, so the car will get a nice suds bath and maybe a fresh coat of wax. I will make sure that I got off all the spots in the sunlight.

    Have a terrific weekend to all!
