Polishing Out Scratches In Windscreen

[pugpete1108 62 1 Cars]

i have some annoying marks on my windscreen from i guess some grit or something on the windscreen of the 306.

 

its not scratched just scuffed in an arc in a few places. looks like it happened over time and has new wipers fitted so is not getting any worse.

 

has anyone heard of a good product or method of removing these? save me getting a new screen fitted.

I have some scratches on my pickup screen, but I think they maybe worse than what you say yours are.

I have looked for info on this but not found anything.

I have not yet but was thinking about "it getting cracked" and then just paying the excess for a new screen.

Sorry not much help with fixing the screen you have, hope someone will come along with real fix.

I have read people machine polishing a windscreen successfully.

I need to try it on both my cars as the windscreens are scratched.

You can machine polish glass the same way as paint, but it won't get proper scratches out, depends how deep they are i guess!

It literally just looks like frosted streaks.

 

No real scratches, it has a couple of chips to so may just have it replaced on the insurance.

 

Does that go down as a claim ?

Got 2 arcs on my 205 screen as well as some grinder sparks. Going to just replace it
