Title: windshield scratches
Post by: jcassity on December 28, 2004, 10:51:20 PM
Im pretty sure im only on my second windshield since i got this car in 1990. 

there are soooooooo many tiny little scratches from days gone by that i have a hard time seeing when the sun is just right .  I guess the billions of tiny little scratches are from general wear and tear.

anyone know how to buff this windsheld back to life?
could i use buffing compound of a fine grit? or am i way off.  I dont need a new windshield ,,,humm or do i?

I think eastwood sells something that can buff off scratches, or a glass shop may be able to buff them off.  Of course nothing beats a new piece of glass especiually when covered by insurance.

IMHO, If you polish it, you will make the scratch dissapear, but with the sunlight you will have a "Mr. Magoo" windshield effect....

A new one with life time warranty is 200-250$...
