Thought people might appreciate an update.
I tried @nerdstrike's suggestion of nail polish remover. Cleaned the windscreen like I normally would, dried it, and then applied the remover just using a microfibre cloth.
It worked! It's certainly not perfect, but I'd say 70% of the marks came out. When I have some time on the weekend, I'll do it again but put more effort in and see if I can get the rest out. 
Don't think I'll polish glass ever again!

Okay. Any recommended method of applying it? I imagine just on a soft cloth and go up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down?

In my chemistry days I had to figure what solvents to use to preferentially dissolve things. The cleaning pattern in increasing severity went thus: soapy water -> scrubby brush -> acetone -> conc. hydrochloric acid -> ultrasound bath -> piranha solution. You're still at stage two so there's a few non-dangerous options to try yet!
See if you can cadge some nail polish remover and try that on a spot. It's just acetone with some perfume in it. Try to keep it away from the plastic and rubber parts.
WD40 is a lightweight and volatile oil blend, so it may or may not do the job.

Panel wipe like this would probably be the most effective solution, if that doesn't shift it then you are probably out of luck.

It's a solvent intended specifically for removing wax and polish from surfaces.
 

If you think they’re tiny dents, ignore my suggestion about waterspot remover (not that it would do any harm).
 
I don’t like to just arbitrarily disagree with other peoples’s choice of detailing products, as it’s a lot of personal choice, but I’d leave my glass bare rather than use RainX. It’s durability is very poor in my opinion, requiring frequent reapplication, and it smears. Go for something from nanolex, gtechniq or gyeon if you want a glass sealant, but obviously don’t put it on a screen that isn’t clean!
Good luck mate.

Get some G-Techniq Nanotech glass polish, it will remove any existing polish or coating.

hate to say, but I find the only thing you should put on your windscreen is RainEX... if you have polish, wax, or anything else similar to that you will find that when it starts to rain, the product may smear across the screen reducing visibility.
RainEx is brilliant stuff, and the only thing that touches my windscreen

oh, and if you drive the car, unfortunately there's no getting away with small stone chips in the glass... mine's had a new windscreen last year, covered only 4k miles since, and looks like a starry sky at night when there's car lights shining through it...

Okay mate thank you. I'll give that a go tonight!

...don't forget to go up and down, and if you're feeling really adventurous, go side to side too!!

seriously though, and yes, I do mean seriously, a circular movement from the top corner, across the windscreen, and then slowly move down and come back across. Repeat this until you've covered the whole of the screen, then buff with a paper towel or something similar.
You could also use a lint free microfibre cloth, but use one to apply the cleaner (whichever you decide to use), and one to remove the excess and buff to a shine

Try some white spirit

You sure they’re not on the inside?
It’s weird that clay doesn’t touch them, I can’t think of many mechanical cleaners that would be better than that. If it’s bad enough you’re thinking of stumping up for a new windscreen, before splashing the cash I’d try a chemical cleaner like a waterspot remover and then go directly to a glass polish on a machine. 

Same thing here, it's not as bad as yours sound, but it's visible in direct sunlight. I'd also appreciate if someone knows how to get rid of it.

Unless they are massively different in size to oem then oem pressures should be fine. For 215/45/17 oem is 35psi all round. I've found that is fine for road use on most tyres I've tried but some tyres will want more pressure, some less (rainsports for instance have very soft sidewalls so benefit from a higher pressure).

Mine does this.
 
Assumed it was just the fork/linkage mechanism and thought nothing more of it. Been fine for over 3 years and not got worse, can only hear it if the window is open anyway

I've experienced squeak-like behaviour on another car when the clutch slave seals started to go. That was 8 years old though, so probably not the issue here.
You know your clutch slave is the problem when the pedal doesn't come back up!

Hello,
I've not removed mine but have been in one that has had it removed and I could certainly tell the difference. I plugged mine up for now, need to get round to buying the hose that deletes it before I remove it though.

I don't think so, not heard anyone have any issues with it... I've since had my clutch replaced and it's not started squeaking since but it squeaked for a good 2 or 3 years without issue

No, mine are 17 x 8 with ET35 so you're in the right ball park.

Whoever the red one near Soham is, I remember this a few months back when I had my 370 heading back to Peterborough from Newmarket at night across the fens and I thought I was going reasonably well and this red 86 flew by flat out! They turned into Soham village. Made me smile and ended up buying one myself!

Looks good.
 
I would take a look at some Ebaich springs. They give a modest drop and retain the oem comfort. Love mine. Drives nice on road and track and I have done things like the north coast 500 route round Scotland on some rough roads and found no issues  I fitted them on my drive in 2 hours so a pro will have no problems in this time frame.
 
Just got back from warrington with the other half. I got the NA package and she got a day out shopping in warrington and a nice lunch. Stayed in the ibis which was nice too and only £48 with all you can eat breakfast

Re detailing, you would want to spend £200-£250 on equipment, pads and polishes. More of you wanted to do multiple stages. It took me 20hrs to do prep, 2- stage correction and protection. It wasn’t all plain sailing. A year on, and even with very careful washing, I feel it needs another skim, but I can’t find the motivation to do it again. £400 is a good deal given effort involved, especially if it’s a multi-stage correction.
