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

don't bust the glass up, if you file a claim it's points against you on your insurance policy. They'll potentially raise your rates, or when you file another claim because you actually had a valid reason to, your rates will go up at that time.
Not to mention that if you smash your own car up to file a claim, it's insurance fraud. They tend to frown on that sort of thing. --------------------  |

Ya know, when i was a little kid and i wanted a happy-meal, my mom would tell me i'd have to keep waiting; "you see, son" she'd say; "Insurance fraud is good money, Not fast money"  6-8 weeks later i'd get my happy-meal
