Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Suggestion
My guess would be that you "scratched" the glass just enough to change the light refraction which causes you to "see" the scratches...that is if the rough side of the sponge wasn't metal.
Leading evidence: 'Replace light refraction' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace light refraction' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I did a really stupid thing this weekend. I have an '02 cab with the glass rear window in the convertible top. Something like sap got on it and I tried to remove with with the abrasive side of one of tose two sided sponges. I wound up scrathing the glass so that it is visible when I look out through the rear view mirror. Any suggestions on how to remove, if possible? Larry Reynolds of Car Care Products suggested jewelers paste.
Thanks in advance.
My guess would be that you "scratched" the glass just enough to change the light refraction which causes you to "see" the scratches...that is if the rough side of the sponge wasn't metal. I would think that the jeweler's paste might work...maybe Boraxo or Ajax cleanser. there has to be a solution 'cause you couldn't be the first person that has had this happen to him. While we're on the general subject, don't ever rub your convertible top to remove anything...just keep patting the birdsh*t or whatever until it's removed. The only thing I actually move over the top is a vacuum cleaner brush head...that's probably more than you ever wanted to know.
try doing a search on this website for ideas.

there is a detailing section and search under glass. you will get a number of articles. most warn about distortion of the glass if you pollish but that relates mostly to concerns about the windshield. should be less significant in the back window but post there and see what you get.
here is a start
