I believe you're right. Except "quickly" turned into a month long stop sale waiting for the Toyota IT wonks to generate accurate window pricing labels while the routing numbers etched into the glass at the POE's.

I've tried everything mentioned. Nothing worked, but it's only been three months and a half-dozen washes. Next I'll try Griot's glass polish and a machine buffer. If that doesn't work, I'll try to ignore it.

However, a little twist is that at my last track day they used shoe polish to write running numbers on the small side rear windows. I washed it off easily the next day but it's doing the same thing as the windshield effect so will hit all the windows with the buffer and hope for the best.
