Default clear glass desktop too dusty/dirty...any solutions?

I have a computer desk that has clear glass tops. When clean they are fine,
but they show every speck of dust, and every handprint. Is there something
that can be done to the glass, like sandblasting or etching, that would
maintain the smooth surface, but hide or decrease the visibility of the dust
and handprints?

Thanks,

Russell

Maybe using pumice stone dust. Spread the pumice stone dust on the
glass, and then rub the glass with the hand.

That's what happens with a glass top...just like a glass coffee table.
Sandblasting really won't do much...might not show the dust as much
but it'll still be there. Why not just get rid of the glass top and
use a couple of nice desk pads.
