I've successfully used steel wool to remove 'spots' before. Granted, it was on a side windows rather than the windshield. Perhaps the tempered/laminated glass used up front is affected differently than the plain glass windows on the sides.

I did it in a small corner of the triangular window to see what happened and after cleaning and drying the windows, I saw smooth glass rather than spotted/etched glass. :/ it was #00000 steel wool
