Get some white tooth paste like "pearl drops" that claims to polish teeth..And try rubbing like the d!ckens with that for a while..Sometimes if the scratches are fine enough the tooth paste will polish them out.

you can also use scratch removers but most do not work..or you need to use a plastic polish formulated to cure this problem. A good polish will not only remove scratches and imperfections but will also leave a protective film behind. By using these polishes you also bring back the optical clarity of the windshield eliminating distortion and glare.

use a hammer or a rock. it won't clear the scratches, but it will provide an excuse for a new windshield. or park outside a sierra club event some night, that should fix it for sure (and any other windows, with or without blemishes). . . . .[sm=badbadbad.gif]

they need to be bugs from the grain fields, otherwise there isn't enough grit to polish the windshield with. we have 5 full days of sun coming, and i'll be driving through happy cow country (good cheese comes from happy cows, and according to the commercials, they live here in CA and like the earthquakes) on my way to death valley. i need to get new wipers and put paint thinner in the washer reservoir just to be able to see.
