Windshield scratches :(

[crazycarlo]

Is there any thing out there to take scratches or etching off windshields?

I would also like to know the answer to this question. I have a few light scratches on my drivers side window from something that had fallen in the door. I have tried my most aggressive cutting combinations, and they didn't even touch it.

Eastwood Company makes a glass polishing kit.

CarPro Ceriglass is what you need. It is an actual glass polish. Read up on it and watch any vids you can find and MOST importantly, follow the directions. It is super messy/slings a lot and it is your windshield clarity we are talking about so be careful!

Before I would try the glass specific products, I would use a rotary and a compound or polish on glass scratches. A rotary can work wonder when used by someone who knows what they are doing. Here's a picture of the damage that my windshield sustained after a van threw a hubcap.

I tried my poliser with Meg's 105 and they are still there. I can barely feel some of them with my fingernail. Also whoever had the car before me either etched the glass or left a sticker on there so long it etched it.

What kind of polisher do you have?

You might give this CarPro Ceriglass polish a try. I agree with JM, a rotary would be best....however, I believe with enough patience, you should get great results even with a PC7424. CarPro makes some great products.

I just saw this post again. I have a GG polisher but my buddy has a flex. That stuff looks like it may work. Ill have to give it a try.

This stuff is no joke and will get the job done with either a DA or Rotary. Keep in mind more work time is needed with the DA. There are some good guides/threads at Autogeek using Ceriglass. I also recommend the CarPro Glass pads as well. Together they work miracles.
