This is my first post here and any help would be great.Here is the deal,I have a customer with a 98 navigator that had bad acid rain etched into the glass.I told him i could fix it for 20 dollars a glass using 0000 steel wool,but he could not wait and took a cordless drill with some kind of harsh compound badly swirling all the side windows.Is there some kind of window polish that could fix this or at least help.I have a rotary and a pc

Check for a Cerium Oxide glass polishing compound. There was a thread in the past were that was discussed, and I went through the simple warnings about his compound (it is faintly radioactive, no where near enough to be even remotely dangerous though).
 
I've used it to remove heavy wiper blade scratches on the wife's old Camaro and it worked well.

Eastman and JC Whitney offer a kit for about 40 bucks USD. The kit includes enough cerium oxide for many jobs and a circular felt pad for an electric drill plus instructions.

The reference to it being slightly radioactive is accurate but it's like those watches that glowed in the dark in the old days.

I keep it in the garage, not in my front pocket and none of the pets glow in the dark yet.

Diamondite offers glass polishing kits also.
