Default How To Remove Plastic Scratches on Glass(windshield)

Hey guys, I have some scratches on my Windshield from the plastic part of the wiper rubbing on the glass (when I would use the wipers). Its just a surface scratch, but Its annoying to look at. Does anyone have any suggestions of how to buff this out or get some sort of cleaner?

Thanks

eastwoodco.com sells a glass POLISHING kit, it's hardcore and will get rid of it for sure, not like other commonly available substances. just be careful not to go hog wild, cuz TOO much polishing will change the optical properties of the glass!!

Any other ideas on this? I just got a GSR and the scratches are pretty bad. I think I might try that glass polishing kit you're talking about. It's kind of pricey though at $45. http://www.eastwoodco.com/shop...olish

I guess I'll look around and see how much a whole new windshield is.

i know it might sound weird.....but we used gasoline...it buffed out the scratches a little, but the scratches were too deep, so some still showed. if only a little is there it might get rid of it. just make sure u wash/wipe it off with some cleaner afterwards
