Why would you use a dish sponge? Should use a microfiber towel.

Glass is pretty hard, however some glass has factory coatings applied. I suspect that you may have compromised a water repellant coating. I'd try an abrasive polish with a DA to see if you can remove both issues. Might try a professional detailer for this if you don't already own the DA and pads.

Get one of these kits to remove scratches etc.
Soak the felt pad in water.
Mix the paste with water to make a slurry.
Dip pad in paste and use a circular motion on screen.
Use a water spray bottle to prevent the work area drying out when polishing.
