Cleaning My Car Glass that damaged from Phosphate plant

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the issue of car glass corrosion caused by chemical fumes from a phosphate plant, specifically due to iodine and fluorine gases. The original poster seeks a chemical compound to clean the glass, but responses clarify that the glass is not merely dirty but damaged due to corrosion. Cleaning will not suffice, as the surface is etched. Instead, using glass polish or jewelers rouge with a polishing tool is suggested as a method to improve the situation, although complete restoration may not be possible. The emphasis is on understanding that corrosion indicates damage that cleaning alone cannot resolve.

As you say, the glass is not dirty, it's damaged. Cleaning only works if it's dirty. You need to replace it.
 
Thanks for your Reply,,

you mean It cannot be cleaned ?? because its corroded only not actually damaged
 
I'm just going by what you are telling me. If you are telling me it's not dirty, it's damaged, I'm going to reply that cleaning it isn't the answer.

Corroded means its surface is etched, that's damaged by me.
 
Get some glass polish (or jewelers rouge), a drill and polishing ball. Mother's or MaGuires makes both. Do not stay in one place very long or you will distort the glass. You will probably not get all of the etching out, but you can improve on the situation.

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
I'm trying to find a cheap DIY method to etch holes of various shapes through 0.3mm Aluminium sheet using 5-10% Sodium Hydroxide. The idea is to apply a resist to the Aluminium then selectively ablate it off using a diode laser cutter and then dissolve away the Aluminium using Sodium Hydroxide. By cheap I mean resists costing say £20 in small quantities. The Internet has suggested various resists to try including... Enamel paint (only survived seconds in the NaOH!) Acrylic paint (only...
