Windscreen polish

cbr1100xx · 14th September 2016, 20:45

Anybody have any advice on the best polish for a windscreen , mine seems to have a lot of marks on it , like a lot of stone chips but you can't feel anything with a finger nail , its all over the screen and I don't know if its in or out , have used autoglym window polish but no different , any tips or ideas ? thanks in advance

0000 grade wire wool works pretty good

followed by Wurth active glass cleaner

I think the glass is too hard to take a polish, I'm sure somebody will be along in the know soon enough if I'm wrong

Apparently I was wrong

Oh well, we live and learn

No you're right Tony, the glass is too hard to remove scratches, but wire wool will get rid of rubbish on the screen, then a good polish to keep clean

Something like this will take some of the marks out.

That looks like a good try , I have used g3 on my lights and that has nano beads in it so might try that first

I don't think it will work but you can try. We tried lots on mine to no effect im afraid.

Try clay bar to remove dead bugs and road grime first off, you can get rid of scratches in glass but its just the pro's really that do that stuff

I'm sure I read on here s while ago about a member who was going to try to remove the appearance of scratches on the drivers window by cleaning then applying a coat of lacquer. Since I haven't read anymore about it I assume it was unsuccessful?

Spent a day with g3 and a polishing mop , going side to side , top to bottom and it has definitely improved the windscreen..............until I drove to bristol yesterday and ping , 1 stone later and a nice 8 inch crack on drivers side , at least it will be clean and shiny from Monday!!!!!
