    I'd try Bar Keepers Friend before an abrasive like steel wool!

    #0000 grade steel wool won't scratch the glass, it will clean the dirt out of scratches though sometimes making them more visible. Also this dosent work with tint or rear window heaters on the inside as it will scratch.

            I wish my rear specs looked that good on my e30. My right rear trailing arm is pretty far out of spec. I am hoping a bushing replacement will do the trick. Also how fast do you guys go through rear tires? I am only able to get a 1.2 summer seasons out of my rears running Yokohama S- Drives.

              i like rake, so my e30s were not very low in the back, so I never had strange wear in the back, even with old bushings.

                I have never driven it long enough to go through a set of tires lol.
                My 300 tread wear BFG's still look new and that is the set I had on there the longest. 
                Sounds like you may have something going on back there. 

                I'm a bit concerned that my subframe riser bushings will take out too much camber, so here's to hoping that doesn't happen!

                  My bushings are mush anyways so we'll see in spring if it resolves anything.

                    I have 500/600 miles, and an autox on my re71r. And a broken axle.

                    Before that I had some neo nittogens that wouldn't die for 4 years

                            Crank, but no start. No spark. No fuel. This e34 is the least reliable vehicle I have ever owned.

                            I blame Earl. 😆😠

                                          Only 6 stitches, still annoying. Nail stopped the knife fortunately. 3 hours at the clinic because it wouldn't stop bleeding long enough to get it sewn up. This just means I don't have to work on the Miata for a week or so, silver linings I guess.
