Default scratches in windshield

does anyone have scratches from their window wipers or anything on their front windshield? i really get annoyed driving at night because oncoming traffic lights are kinda glared out throughout the whole driver's side windshield and kinda becomes harder to drive. happen to anyone before? it's sorta faint during the day but at night u can really notice it, they're slight scratches from the wipers. i guess if there isn't a solution i should try auto repair shop of some sort or maybe replace it if i have the mula? thanks guys.

I've seen a windshield restorer kit at a local private-owned NAPA store. Never seen it at the big-box stores (Autozone, Advance, Walmart, etc) so you might want to check the little guys in your area

happend to mine...you can get it out using white polishing compound(automotive) try it by hand first on clean glass and work you way up to high speed buffer if its still wont come out...and if it still wont get it out you can use jewlers rouge its a super fine polishing compound for metal work
