Heh, just has to be at least 00 or finer, or at least that's the "coursest" I'd go.
Granted, it's always best to try going about the least aggressive way possible. Glass cleaner -> vinegar -> Rubbing compound by cloth/microfiber/pad -> Bar Keep's Friend (don't get it on paint) -> steel wool
Or, if you have some laying around, glass polishing pads work pretty well. Also work well in getting rid of thin scratches.

yeah steel wool would be my absolute last choice... only for extreme water spots since there are alternatives that have less of a risk factor
Lol the last word I associate with "glass" is "steel wool" lol
I'm 
-- I wasn't aware there was a risk here...

don't tell me the swirls in the windows are scratches? lol...
Naa, I've used it for like - ever.. on baked and caked spots...
There must be a product for these critters these days?.

Yeah that's good for not leaving streaks. On dried spots you need more. I have them on my windshield and hate them

Heh, yea, 0000 (not 00 like I said originally) is usually what I've read to use. Also makes great fuel to start a fire
I know steel doesn't technically scratch glass (why razor blades are fine to use when peeling stickers), but there's always a risk of scratching. It just seems better to at least try with "less aggressive" methods first.
As for the scratches, it used a Diamondite system with pads (I think it used two?). It got rid of all but the deepest scratches on my side mirror. You know, the vertical scratches you get from rolling up your windows repeatedly with trapped dirt. I don't see it anymore on Autogeek, only one to get rid of water spots and what not.
That's it... New glass again is good. 
I just couldn't remember what to use with it... steel wool by itself didn't do anything... wax, faded it & cutter wiped them off. All this old school detailing is coming back to me now..

is there such thing as a "glass polish"? or would steel wool and some sort of polish work? not so much on windows of my expo, but the glass counters at my work. haha

Wonder, though, how it'd work on a glass counter?
EDIT: Also, by side mirror, I meant side window. Second row driver side window.
I've heard that umbilical fluid drained from a newborn baby boy born on a full moon works wonders on water spots...Anyone looking to be the first to try this out? I know of a half breed mexican crack addict downtown who would probably sell cheap!
