I cover my windscreen occasionally using dust sheets to stop frost on windscreen. Looks like they were dirty and scratched the windscreen.

 

Any suggestions on how to remove minor scuffs in driver's windscreen? They are only visible in the low winter sunlight.

 

I was thinking bicarbonate of soda / toothpaste or T cut. CIF a bit too coarse? Car polish not coarse enough? Glass cleaner seems suited to removing grime, traffic film only.

 

Thanks

Jewellers rouge with a little water to make a paste 

Carpro ceriglass. 

Thanks for suggestions.

 

New wind screen is £75 

A waste as they are minor scuffs on glass.

 

Jewellers rouge £6 (fine iron oxide powder/ rust) - maybe similar to T cut in grittiness or finer?)

 

Ceriglass £15 - a tad pricey for me.

 

 

I have T cut.

 

Any experience with T cut on glass anyone?

 

Bicarbonate is probably too gritty - good for cleaning metals I hear.

 

T-cut will be too soft to have any effect on glass it's only meant for relatively soft paintwork same with bicarbonate 

I tried for ages to get scratches out of my Fabia's windscreen but to no avail. Mind you, mine were probably deeper than the ones you describe. Anyway, fate decided that I was getting a new windscreen whether I liked it or not. Certainly, I was £75 lighter, but I've not had to do much else besides look out of the windscreen!

I have a sack of bicarbonate. I heard people use it to regenerate plastic headlamps. 

 

Is this too gritty?

 

I watched a series on Prime renovating a Pontiac Trans AM (Smokey and Bandit's car). They used something to remove scratches and buff up the screen.

 

Can't remember what they used though.

 

Thanks

I'll give it some elbow grease first. I just didn't want to make things worse. 

Sometimes a break can be a blessing in disguise. A Peugeot wasn't sealed at bottom properly from the factory , the windscreen fitter brought it to our attention. Windscreen didn't fog up as much thereafter during driving in rain.

 

Even worse was a Ford Focus that developed wet front floor carpet when parked downhill. Windscreen replaced under warranty.

Bicarbonate is too soft to have any effect on glass you need as I stated before Jewellers rouge

Sorry, I skim read and missed that.
