Just something they used do to help prevent ringing! I've had a few cars where my windows have been etched!

Really wouldn't worry bout it! :)

the wet sanding would probably remove them? does this make them more shiney then ? lol

it's not original, it's like that data tag crap, you just mark all easilly removed/valuable/saleable parts, to make it harder to strip and sell a nicked car. one of my bikes had everything marked

yeah it freshens them up a bit and gets rid of any stone chips on the headlights
