My windshield has some wear from the wipers. but no cracks
Can this be polished? or is there some coating that would be ruined (more) by trying. When I did the car I left the windshield in, and really have no reason to change it out now. But I would like to eliminate some of the fine scratches from years of wear. |

Soooo helpful. Encourages me to initiate effort after New Years. Great idea with the plastic; wouldn’t have thought of that. Maybe more like 90 minute sessions for me, though.
Thanks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
