You can purchase windshield polishing compound at stores that sell
body shop supplies. But as noted, it actually removes glass, and you
need a buffing machine for it to be effective. My old Jag XJ-12 had
windshield damage from blowing sand as the previous owner had lived
out on Long Island. I tried buffing it by hand but couldn't remove the
little pits. My Chevy had one tiny scratch from a windshield wiper. I
was able to buff that out by hand. But you'll need a machine to do a
whole windshield.

This is the only one that I know of that will remove pitting or

Clay removes surface impurities , it dosn't fill in scratches. No
hand treatment will work from what I've seen unless you willing to
spend a couple months sandpapering your windscreen, you need to get
a buffing machine like the above and sandpaper the scratches out,
you not filling the cracks, you are lowering the level of the
surrounding area to the level of the scratch, if that makes sense

3M also makes some highly recommended products but I don't know if
they will sell it retail to you, I usually buy it from a panel beater
Thanks for that. I did manage to find the Maguires stuff on a UK
website yesterday. There seems to be the opinion here that it will
(with some effort) remove the fine scratches one (specifically, a
_previous_ owner) can generate by using the wipers dry. Any idea
if this is true, or does anyone know of any other treatment?
