I'm sure there's a dedicated product for this but.... My go to for polishing all sorts of things is Mothers Mag Wheel Polish, surprisingly I've had pretty good luck using it on old glass as well. I primarily used it because I always have some on the shelf.

Isn't that pretty much like cleaning with alcohol? As a matter of fact, that is literally cleaning with alcohol. Which on a side note, baffles me why people drink that stuff.

I tried it one time back in the 80's. The things that my wife claimed that I was doing when she walked through the door made me vow to never trying it again. To this day, I don't remember none of it but Bill Murray would have been proud.

I'm going to need you to film a video of your wife relaying the events of that night for the purpose of entertaining this community. =)
