USAA replaced mine on the 91 350SDL 'bout 12 years ago for pitting.
'Shoulda had it done long before - WOW! - what a difference!

My experience with these has been less than satisfactory.
You can use BonAmi (in cake or powdered form-NOT the cleanser!) or find a
telescope guy and get some cerium oxide.
Best fix-hit the thing with a small ball peen hammer and turn it in for
replacement to your insurance agent (just joking of course!)
On that same subject, I found State Farm to be very liberal about
windshield replacement. When I lived in Florida previously, my 300SD had a
lot of wear from all the sand and grit in the air. It made it tough to see
at night or when driving into the sun.
I reported this to my agent and they told me to get the windshield
replaced.

Anyone ever tried the "polishing" kits that claim to remove pitting and
scratches?
My 300D windshield is moderately pitted, enough so that early/late day
sun can cause annoying glare. But I really hate to contemplate
replacing it as every time I've had a windshield replaced it started
leaking within 12 months.

Dude, you're asking if ANY new glass is OK on a $400 car? And it
will make your wife happy, no matter what it is, as long as it has
no pits and cracks?
It's the ripples and waves that I want to avoid. Heard enough horror
stories, don't want to end up there.
