Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has experience with correcting defects in windshields. After a bunch of highway driving and using the windshield wipers, my windshield is starting to show some swirls and a lot of very tiny pits. These are really only visible at night, but they still bother me. I am baffled as to how the swirls appeared in the windshield. I wash the car properly once a week and always clean the wiper blades. I don't want the problem to worsen, and have it begin to impact visibility. Is there a way to correct or hide these defects, without getting a new windshield?

Thanks!

zano makes a glass polish. I know its mainly designed for removing anything from glass but i bet it will help your issue.


Have you tried a polish or compound?

Thanks, I'll look up that product. Haven't yet, because I am away at school and don't have access to my orbital polisher. I would think tackling this by hand would be a waste of time.

Drop your glass deductible to $0, give it a month or two, and then call your insurance company and tell them that your windshield is becoming so worn that you believe it to be a safety hazard. I had my windshield tinted and it amplified all of the glass imperfections. I tried just about everything to fix it and ended up just replacing the glass.

Insurance claim aside, any ideas?

Replace glass or forget it no way to fix it...

You can use a glass polish with your DA polisher and a glass polishing pad (important) and then seal it with some G-tecniq stuff. Should help a lot and you wont have to use the wipers at all. That stuff is amazing.

Thanks, I'll try that as soon as I can. Right now I've been putting Griots glass sealant on it every few washes, and I'll look up the g-techniq stuff. Trying to avoid replacing the glass, but it'll likely happen eventually.
