I have just noticed today my windscreen is full of light scratches, this will be off the car wash guys who have been washing the car twice a month for the last 6 months. Also window wiper scratches. These scratches you cannot feel just see when sun is on windscreen.is there anyone you can take your car to,who would be able to remove them....

DIY?

Very light glass scratches and scuffs can often be polished out with a good quality glass polish. I used a product sold by Jaguar under their own label on my Superb II when I was preparing it for sale. You only needed to use it very sparingly. I didn't buy it myself, a Jaguar owning friend let me use his supply. It worked an absolute treat on both the glass of the windscreen and the acrylic headlamp covers.

I'd like to say use xxx or yyy brand, but the Jaguar stuff was the one and only time I ever used such a polish. Now I've just been regularly cleaning using AutoGlym (both the cream and the fast glass liquid).

Jewellers Rouge is also supposed to be good for removing glass blemishes. Some people even recommend toothpaste, but I'd steer clear of that as toothpaste often contains minute ash particles to make it abrasive.

 

Your problem is why I now never use hand car wash facilities as often they use over-abrasive substances and seldom seem to check their equipment is in the best clean condition as they move from one car to another - unlike a professional valeting service, but then that's a totally different ball game and price.

If it has done that to your glass. What is your paintwork like close up.

Dread to think Danny,the car is white so hides them well, it's the windscreen that's starting to irritate me as you see them all the time.in 27 years of driving I have never had this problem before.

These handwash guys do so much damage to cars. Avoid.

Try clay bar on the glass. If the glass is scratched you can bet the paint is full of scratches and swirls. 

Again clay bar after a two bucket wash.

A clay bar isn't going to do anything to scratches though, that's not what it's for. It removes contamination, ideally after a decent fallout remover.

Very difficult to get scratches out of glass 100%. The best solution requires a hammer followed by a phonecall.
