A & S 20 Posted June 29, 2020 Get a new windscreen fitted, never get it out 100%, you'll be wasting money and time and getting stressed with it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Screenman 47 Posted July 3, 2020 You could buy a Mirka glass polishing system, however they advise against doing the windshield as it will create distortion as you remove glass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metcars 397 Posted July 23, 2020 The problem is that the dirt gets buried into the scratch. If you have a chip or scratch you 'must' deal with it ASAP. A shitty scratched screen is such a turn off at sale time, like having a dent in the bonnet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the windscreen they just make the car look a complete mess. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
