[QUOTE="oldmodman, post: 10174056, member: 10303"] Polishing glass is a very difficult, long process. And if done wrong you can change the optical transmission of the windshield. You can actually create distortions in the glass. I have been able to remove wiper scratches by using a felt bob on a drill motor and using Cerium Oxide as a polishing agent to remove the scratches. It took several hours just to eliminate 18" of scratch. Some people on the car detailing forums have reported using a rotary polisher with wet sandpaper to polish an entire windshield. I believe that they started with 2500 grit, then 3000, then either 5000 or 6000, then went over everything with Cerium Oxide or Rhodium. The only reason that they went to this incredible amount of effort was that the windshield was no longer available as a replacement and no good used one could be found. [/QUOTE]
