Location: Brooklyn Park MN		Does anyone have a good idea how to remove scratches from a windshield? I've tried rubbung compound and a buffing wheel. Don't understand why people won't just put new wiper blades on instead of screwing up the glass......must think seeing through lines is normal?????

Location: Blythewood, SC		I used a similar kit to the one Eastwood sells. It is VERY messy, VERY slow, but it works.

Location: .Norfolk..Mafia.. ,England UK		I used a Compound called Jewellers Rouge ( i think that it is what it is called ).. It still requires a Drill, But it Works, But you must Not press too Hard or keep it in the Same spot too long,, As the Heat will Mark the Screen and leave a Circle Indentation

Location: Brooklyn Park MN		Thanks Guys.. The scratches are deep enough to catch my fingernail, seems I've heard of the Jewellers Rouge before....I think I'll look into both...will post results. Might be a week though.

Location: Rushford Minnesota		I run an auto glass shop and we have tried in the past to polish out wiper drag marks, the biggest problem is that the polishing process usually leaves distortion in the glass sort of a ripple if you will, best bet is to have full coverage on the car with a zero glass deductible and then have a rock hit it
