It may be that you can polish out the last of it.

 

When we had minor scratches in ou windows, the builder used a glass polishing kit to fix it, might work in this case if it has embedded itself into the glass.

Got a link to anything in particular? 
 

Or anyone else recommend a polishing product? . Last thing I want to do is make it worse ?

Reminds me of when I was a wee lad and I got told to clean the car by my parents to earn my pocket money, I cleaned with soap and water but there was bits of tar stuck all over the paint work so I had a rummage under the sink until I found a green scouring pad……. If I rubbed the scouring pad really hard on the little spots of tar they eventually came off……. As did most of the top layer of paint. Needless to say I was never asked to clean the car again.

Sadly I don't know what kit he used and would just resort to Google.

 

Some useful information here

My daughter's friend scratched one of our TVs and I managed to buff it out using a magic sponge, you might try that first. 

 

People recommend all sorts of abrasives on line such as Brasso and toothpaste and T-Cut. I did get a headlight refurbishing kit, which used some kind of abrasive paste, a few years ago from Amazon to fix my brother's yellowing car headlights and was amazed how well it worked.

I suggest just leave the remaining gunk to weather, then wd40 again. 

What is left may be a bit of glue combining with dirt that was already there, in the pits.

 

If you wanted it to stick, it wouldn't.  Summer heat, winter cold, long-term wet...it will give in at some stage.

 

 

As glass is a liquid, it will all smooth out in a few hundred years,....if there is no real hurry.....self build always takes a while.

Does that mean ... if you stand still on it for a while you will sink in

It's on the inside so weather isn't greatly going to effect it.

As for self builds taking a long time - yeah, it's the least of my worries. I'll add it to my "to do" list at position 168,456.

Gel so may sit there and dissolve it while you do something else.

Have you thought of applying some adhesive tape to see if it picks the bits off?

Try rubbing with a ball of scrunched up tin foil.

It’s in the porous glass afaik . There’s zero to ‘feel ‘ . Wd40 again tomorrow, then I’ll leave it until SWMBO notices ???

[Bitpipe]

Hit it with a hammer.

 

May not get rid of the sticky marks but you may feel better. 

 

Then you can claim on the insurance for accidental damage.

Granny used to polish glasses with newspaper dampened with water or vinegar. Dipped in a bit of soot from the fire to remove stubborn marks. Some of the old tricks still the best IMO 

[dpmiller]

Inky newspaper to polish wet, washed glass is superb. Almost a reason to buy a paper...

[Pocster]

Glad it doesn’t show from certain angles !

[Pocster]

Looking closely I think the seal has gone . The glass just won’t clean so I assume dirty/dust in between the glass units .
