windshield polish?
 

Hi Guys,

Is there a product/procedure out there to polish out pits and scratches in a windshield? The PO scratched the crap out of the windshield with cruddy wiper blades, and there are pits galore...I'm sick of looking through it!

Haven't had to repair any glass scratches yet, (need too), but you might check out some of the products offered here:

Keep us posted on your selection and how it works. Hopefully someone else with some experience with a scratch removing product will chime in soon.

to replace a windshield is very cheap on these trucks

from wwhat i fave heard over the years to polish scratches and pits you end up alot of times with a clear looking windshield with distortion problems in vision and during rain wipers that aren't very effective

Ive tried to polish glass once before with the Eastwood product but did not get good results

It takes good equipment and skill to polish out a windshield. We sell everything to do it but its really not for the occasional user. You can learn but the cheapest decent tools run about $700 to 800to do it in a decent amount of time. Their our DVD's to teach also available. Most of the cheap kits to do the polishing are exactly that. To polish you need a Cerium-Oxide disc that runs about 8-10 $ and they don't last long

so it sounds like a new windshield is in my future then... what's it cost for one installed? would I just call up Harmon, or Safelite? I have the stainless rubber trim if that matters...

any local shop should b able to do it// you should go with a new gasket/just make sure of the trim gasket as i've heard of some shops that refuse to deal with them and want to install a non ss trim gasket
