Default Weird spots on windows?

So I was off my way to class today and saw these weird spots on my windows that I can only see when the light shines at a certain angle. I tried my best to get pics.






Tried cleaning today with my usual glass cleaner but nothing happened. I think it's always been there but I'm just noticing it now


EDIT: For the first pic you have to tilt your screen on an angle. Clearer in the second pic

they're not spots, it's just the way the glass was made.

Ah, got it. Do you have them on your car too? Good sign / bad sign? Lol not sure if they should look like that.

Damn!!! Your windows are reflective. What do you use to clean them by the way?!

Yep - part of the glass's natural light transmission. To see that effect even more look at them with polarized sunglasses on.

Haha Nice. I'm currently using that with a cobra waffle weave microfiber. Best combo I guess
Every tried clay bar on the windows before?

Use 0000 Steel wool with some water as a lube, scrub them down good, then clean them. You'll still have some spots though.
