My new car (only a month old) has scratches on the windshield from
grit in a squeegee. The scratches can't be felt with a fingernail, so
they seem to be candidates for cerium oxide polishing. Unfortunately
the scratches are all half the width of the windshield, and both
halves have these scratches - so I'm gonna wind up polishing about 60%
of the entire surface of the glass, it's not just one or two spots.
I'd like to hear from someone who has used this material;
specifically, I'm worried about clouding. At the moment I have a
usable, but annoying piece of glass; I don't want to make things
worse :)
I'm willing to invest a day's work polishing this if it will save me
$350 for a new windshield.
No personal experience, but I remember seeing a caveat; don't let the
area get too hot while polishing or the windshield will crack. Seems
reasonable.
