Angelo,

My advise would be to get a new windshield.
I had the same problem on my 63 TR4 and tried to use a number of glass 
polish kits etc and the problem only got worse. I ended up getting a new 
windshield from TRF and had my local auto glass shop install it for 
about 80 bucks. I believe the glass was about 150 + shipping. Well worth 
the expense in my opinion.
