Back to the subject. Has anyone dealt with a similar defacement by
polishing out a few spots? I replaced the windscreen but would like to
try something cheaper and possibly easier for the side windows.

I had some similar spots on one of the rear windows of my Cessna 150. I was able
to remove one with micro-mesh, but after seeing how long that took, I just left
the others. In addition, the polishing reduced the thickness of the window at
that spot. This resulted in some distortion of the image there. Since it was the
back window, I didn't regard that as a real problem, but it would be an issue in
other places. This might not happen with flat panes.
