Default How to get metal debris off windsheild?

So I was dumb the other day and was using an angle grinder inside my engine bay. The sparks and metal debris I guess made its way in between the hood and now there is little metal debris embedded in my windshield!

Anyone every experience this? How do I get it off the windshield?

Are you saying that there's metal chips embedded in the plastic coating on the windshield glass?

First time I've ever heard of that.

I'd used a razor blade to remove stuff from the front window before.

Claybar would probably work too, but would ruin the ($15) claybar.

Ive seen it happen before,sometimes a razor blade scraped across the glass can fix it sometimes it requires a new windshield if its really bad..
