    I used vinegar on a coffee table which had gone cloudy and it brought it up a treat. Pour the vinegar on to the glass and wipe it off with scrunched up newspaper.

    Then try white spirit. That's the usual recommendation - but you MUST make sure you do a test somehwere not visible to make sure it only takes the excess polish off and not the proper finish. Make sure to rinse well too.
