Windshield scratch repair

Has anyone tried polishing out a light windshield scratch using a kit like this sold at Eastwood (http://www.eastwood.com/glass-polishing-kit-pro.html)?

Hey '74, if the scratch is deep enough for you to catch your fingernail on as you drag it across it polishing may not be an option. If the scratch is deep and in your line of sight it may show distortion in the area you polish as well. Takes alot of patience from my experience. Good luck, cannot remember the brand of the polish/pad I used.

Ok so stupid question...is there anyway to fix scratches on a windshield without polishing or replacing da glass????:edgy:

Not that I know of, I'd have to say no with confidence.

Jerry, I polished out a scratch on a 64' Chrysler 300 I had years ago.. Like 66 B Body said. It did remove the scratch but because it was deep enough to catch my fingernail on it did leave some distortion. If your cars a driver, I'd say no biggie! But if it's a show car I'd replace it!!

tirefryin-Bob... good handle bud!

The scratch is not deep enough to catch my fingernail. As a matter of fact, it doesn't even catch a razor blade like those used to remove window stickers. It's more like a hazy streak caused most likely by a worn out wiper blade.

Well 74, you should be ok, but anything in the line of sight can cause you trouble if the polishing is extensive. If you can, have a glass guy look at it for you, if he gives you the thumbs up, buy the kit!

Too late. No local glass guys around to ask - none do glass repair like scratches. I ordered a glass polishing kit from Sears and will let everyone know how it goes. I have a spare windshield to practice on to get the technique down.
