Try shining a high powered single emitter LED torch at an angle (or even almost parallel) to the bodywork. This will show up most paintwork/panel flaws (but don't be surprised if you see stuff you don't like).
For the glass I'd try detailing clay first, then if that didn't remove it I'd use Amway metal polish (yes, metal polish). I find it cleans up my windows without scratching (but apply and remove wet).
If you are worried about any technique (eg steel wool, metal polish) try it on a small, inconspicuous spot first, then check your results very carefully.
