Scratches in windshield

[V6UnderPressure]

Is there a good product that will help get scratches out of the windshield? My wifes wiper blade on her Lexus tore and she continued to use the wipers with the arm rubbing on the window. This caused some minor scratches on the windshield which are unfortunately directly in the line of vision.

Very interested in a solution to this as well!

A thread for reading, might help:

They discuss a number of methods/products, I haven't tried to do this to my wife's SUV yet (she has a few scratches) but I may try it soon.

Warning- these systems remove glass, maintain a wet surface and keep pad moving to avoid heat build-up and optical distortion


Notes -
1. Do not use on Lexan™, Plexiglas or clear plastics (See Polishing Plastic)
2. Don't use abrasive glass polish on after market-tinted glass or you will probably scratch the surface
3. For deeply etched water spots' or pits (caused by sand or road stones) in the glass surface, do not attempt to polish them out, consult an automotive glass vendor as glass used on later model cars is soft and thin (this may vary by manufacturer) due to weight / cost savings by vehicle manufactures and polishing could cause glass to crack.
4. Do not use on glass with either internal antenna or defroster elements.
5. Some windshields and mirrors have a tinted plastic coating or a blue tint that will scratch or be damaged, only polish or use synthetic wool on uncoated glass.
