The previous owner of my car racked up quite a lot of high way miles. My wildshield has a ton of tiny little knicks in it. I've heard that you can polish out cosmetic imperfections on windshields, can anyone verify that and give some more details as to how you do it and what to use?

Thanks.

 

ive heard of this o i would like to know

 

hmm, you can polish out stuff yeah,

but a nick is a nick,
just lookat it this way, however deep a nick is, is how far down you would have to remove material from the glass to make the nick go away.

now if they're just surface imperfections, VERY light nicks/scuffs/scratches,

then yeah, you could probably polish them out,
I dont see why not.

 

ok man you will not gonna be able to get the nicks out, you need window filler for that but if you take a peace of light steel wool it will make your window look pritty damn new.

I have actually seen the mobile glass guys use a clear substance that takes all the glare out of the pits and cracks on windshields. The stuff literally makes the windsheilds look brand new. Obviously the cracks and pits are there, the liquid just removes the glare so they dont appear to be. Would love to get my hands on somma that stuff..

steel wool and some kind of compound worked perfect for me. my 94 teg had water spots on practically every window, so i used this chemical compound/liquid and some steel wool along with some elbow grease, and every spot came off and look almost brand new. i can't remember exactly what it was called, but i got it from the detail guy at the dealership i work at. he told me not to use it on my mirrors, obviously because its not glass, but i did it any way and those came out great too.

when i say elbow grease, i dont use it lightly. i was sweating by the time i was done but the outcome and visibility difference definately =

Its used to take off overspray. It dosnt even get rid of most water spots.
Its pretty usless for anything more then overspray and bugs. Make sure
your using like the 00 or the 01 or however they rate it. The fine stuff.

 

ya steel wool works sick for gettin off overspray on windows,never tried it for scratches tho... just keep it away from your paint
