I hope this is the correct place to start this topic, I was unsure if it should be here or in the exterior styling forum.
Ok here is the story, I bought my Celica a few months ago and I am still in the process of fixing her up. I have noticed that I have very very light scratches all over my windshield. It looks like it may have sat for a while and then someone hopped in and turned the windshield wipers on with crap all over them or no rubber blades on and put scratches all over the windshield. I know it does not sound like something major but at night and in the rain I can barely see out at all due to the scratches. So here is my question could it be possible to buff them out. A new windshield is about $300 so if I mess the windshield up and can still just get a new one but I want to try and save the windshield I have. Let me know what you all think. Thanks

It doesn't catch my finger nail but in a very few bad spots you can mainly just see them all over the the windsheild.
On the soap idea I will try it tonight when I replace my rear hubs. Will dawn or some kind of dish washing soap be fine? Thanks -------------------- |

Yeah, i like the kind with the built in degreaser, but just anything being able to soak-into the groves, then expand when the water hits it. That's what is going to get the grime and stuff out, that's why you wanna let the soap set for several minitues; before you spray the water.
Also; i have heard of RainX making a glass polish; IDK for sure, never used it. But i stand by the RainX brand name. probably should be able to find some at your local auto-store, or wal*mart or something...
