Location: North West Jorsey | Jeremy I wouldn't use paint compound. I went to the local glass shop where he used rugh (Not sure how you spell it) and a special wheel on a drill to polish it out. He was able to take out all the fine wiper scratches and restore the view through the glass. Actually it was like new. There were a few deeper scratches left, but they were almost invisible. You had to look for them. I later acquire a wheel and did a shield myself with similar results. |

| Since a couple of years, "Lucy" has arrived, it's a windshiel polishing robot, costs about 85 dollars to have your windshield completely polished. I do not know if it's available in the US.
