How can I remove a windscreen scratch?

[ofimart]

I have an annoying light scratch on my windscreen( right in my line of vision when I drive). It was caused by a little bit of grit under the windscreen wiper when they were switched on. Any suggestions how to remove it ?? I've had suggestions that with a bit of elbow grease brasso will remove it , or maybe someone can recommend a product that will do the job before I buy some brasso.

Thanks in advance , Jacquie. :pray:

Found this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1ov-1vWuz0) Jacquie but must admit that I don't know if it works.

I think it depends how deep the scratch is. :goodluck:

Aww thanks for taking the time and trouble to post that ,( interesting). I'm wondering though if salt would make it worse?? ( It's only a light scratch, nothing deep by the way .) I would say though to you all out there, next time it rains here wipe/check under your windscreen wipers before you put them on as we use them so rarely here and I guess there was some dust or grit sitting on top of my wipers.

The last car I had in the UK had one and I triwd everything, including the tip above,

When I traded it, it still had it..I was told, at the time, that I'd have to live with it or get a new windscreen.

They is a garage in the golf that can polish it out for you not sure what he will charge though but seen him do head light damaged by the sun and they came up like new,he only used M3 scratch remover with a power tool.

I did think a new windscreen would be the way to go but if I can get it polished out then great .

Do you mean 3M scratch remover ? If any one happens to have this number please could they pass on and I'll see how much it would cost if possible . Thanks.

I know what you are suggesting (I think ?) . It's only a light (annoying) scratch ,I'm sure there is a way to get rid of. I've looked on amazon and there are products that claim to do the job.

Brasso might be a bit harsh.
Jewellers used to use cigarette ash to polish out scratches in watch glasses.
