DeWitt,
That is an excellent question to which I don't have the answer.  My w/s is 
pitted pretty badly and I think the buffer approach would work, I just don't 
know what type of abrasive to use without swirling/fouling optical quality.  
If you call a glass place, you'll probably get the song and dance about 
replacement being cheaper, don't want to reveal trade secrets, etc.  After 
reading horror stories of new rust crawling out from under windshield trim 
because of monkey lads with sharp objects, replacement is the last step for 
me.  I'm tempted to think that a polish suitable to restore antique mirrors 
(metal film) or some type of precious metal polish may work.  You know, you 
really got me thinking about this when I'm supposed to be working.  Thanks a 
lot.  We have 3 days of rain coming here in the Mid Atlantic and I won't be 
able to try anything until Friday.  I'll let you know if I find anything and 
how it works later in the week.  I'll be obsessing until then.
