While on a bit of a road-trip last week, I lost a wiper in Tropical Storm Barry, and got a few good gouges in my windshield.

Luckily it is on the passenger side, so I'm not too terribly concerned about it...but just knowing it is there is quite an eye-sore.

Does anyone have any recommendations for polishing out a windshield without having to replace it? The scratches aren't very deep at all...it looks like someone took a scotch brite and rubbed it on the windshield.

Anyone?

Thanks
Shawn

 

Try using some "Cooktop Creme" they use it for polishing the Ceran C/T's.



Part # 20000001 Maytag if you go to an Appliance Parts Store.

Try it in a hidden area at first, I've never used it personally on Car windows, but a customer of mine uses it for his house windows.

 

Try white toothpaste. Don't laugh till you try it.

 

If you can feel the scratch you will not be able to buff it out.

 

I can't feel the scratches...can only see them in direct sunlight.

I asked the same question for my fathers motorhome, got some very helpfull ideas. So far using #1000 and higher sandpaper has been doing the trick. I think he started using #600 and made it worse. https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...d.php?t=149351
Last I heard he got it fixed.He wet sanded it and used a buffing wheel on his die grinder and took his time. The toothpaste was not enough grit. FYI

 

I would think the view will become distorted with all the rubbing and polishing. I'd just put in a new one. Here in Florida there is no deductable on glass replacement.
