Default How to remove windshield glass scratches

Hey,

As I was washing my car today in bright sunlight, I noticed my front glass windshield has a lot of scratches.
This is not really visible at night, but I notice many scratches as I drive in the afternoon with brignt sunlight.
Plus, even with new wiper blades, the window leaves residues ( I guess due to water residue build-up) right after windshield goes by. When it dries, it's ok, but still many scratches.

Does anyone know how to remove the scratches on the glass?

Can you even repair scratches? I dont think you can... you can fix cracks but those look less bad.

You can use "Rain X" it helps fill in dings and scratches on windshields. Plus helps a lot with water running off it.

Hmm...
It seems like Rain-X cleans glass and repells rain drops only...not really for scratches maybe?
However, it seems like a decent product for windshield so I'm going to try it.

I heard that I can buff the glass to clean it, but I don't know if it removes scratches.
Does anyone know?

RainEx is like Wax for glass...it won't fill large scratches though.

I know there are glass polishes available, but I've never used them personally. I believe Sonus makes one (you'll probabaly only find it online). Best bet is to take it to an auto glass store and have them do it if you're looking for perfection.
