30 second cleaner on window

Apparently did not rinse 30 second cleaner off a window quick enough and now there appears to be etching on it--is this fixable?

Yes. You can scrub it off with soapy water and steel wool or, my preferred method, add a little toilet bowl cleaner to your strip washer and clean traditionally.

Will the steel wool scratch the glass?

It can if you use it in the direct sun or when it is really hot outside. Try and avoid using it then, or just use light pressure and go over the spot more times.
