Is there anything that can remove very fine scratches from my windscreen? The previous owner obviously left a bad wiper blade on, which has left the wiped area with very fine arced scratches that show up when you wipe the screen, causing a nasty smear till it evaporates.
I'd like to treat it or polish them out.

If you have a buffing machine it will take them out. I had scratches on my w/s and thought I would have to have it replaced. My husband buffed them right out. Can't even see where they were at.

Check you car insurance and see if cracks and scratches are covered for free repair. Otherwise go and see a specialist screen repairer and they will advise you. It is one of those annoying things that you have to get right first time and not do more damage by taking the wrong advice.

Better autoglass companies can repair stone chips, and scratches. This is not something to be done by yourself with no experience. Call around and see who can polish the glass and compare prices, also do they offer a guarantee incase they dork it up worse then it is now?

Different grades of micromesh and some plastic polish - use a harsh grade and use the polish with it and then gradually work in to the smoother grades til you get the desired finish or use a buffer with some vutting compund - but not too harsh.

Yes, it can be done. A number of companies, of which one is linked to below, will do this for you. The better methods use professionals who have specific chemicals and systems for removing the scratch.

There is nothing on the market for that , and as the scratches are deeper than you think i wouldnt bother , I once tried T cut and it helped but did not eliminate it completly , and its hard graft

You can get a glass polishing kit from :

However from personal experience, and if you are fully comp, a hammer may be an easier solution.

i not too sure about this but i heard that by wiping it with toothpaste works. since the toothpaste will actually cover the gap in the glass. hope it works((:
