Cleaning stove glass with abrasives

On my Lopi some how I got a thumb print burned into the glass, oil from my finger I guess.
The glass was cold at the time I hit it.
It was right in the center of course, it drove me nuts.
I use the 0000 steel wool to keep the glass clean and it wouldn't touch it, nothing I tried would, so I called my local Lopi and they had one in stock.
So I figured I had nothing to lose, I started with a fine grit sanding paper and worked my way up thru grits till the stain was gone.
Then worked my way back down till the glass was clean using a light rubbing compound last.
There is no sign of the spot now perfectly clear, been 5 years.
Not as big a spot I know, just a different approach.

Must have been one of those security locks that we always see in the movies, huh? Nobody opens the stove door unless there is an exact thumbprint match!

This http://www.amazon.com/Rutland-Hearth-Grill-Conditioning-Cleaner/dp/B00120NMNY is what I use when the water/ash doesn't work well enough.
I've had this bottle for over 3-4 years, and it was $3.92 at the time.

This and if it's bad you can use steel wool in conjunction with it. Just make sure the steel wool is super wet with the cleaner to avoid scratches.
