Unhappy Windscreen - SCRATCHED

is there anyway back from a scratched screen - or would I be best replacing?

Took it to the seaside and a couple of grains of sand must have embedded into the wiper blade - have replaced the blade - but the scratch remains

Thanks Guys

Halfords do a glass t-cut and they also stock turtle wax's version (£5.69)They'll remove surface scratches and marks as long as they are light and not too deep.

Re: Windscreen - SCRATCHED

as mentioned there are glass t cuts, or other option is claim on your insurance, this wont affect your ncd either, i will have to pay a £75 excess first though i am fully comp as well (alot of insurers stopped the free windscreen claims)

Re: Windscreen - SCRATCHED

Tried to get my cinq's windscreen scratch repaired (Windsreen wiper scratches)... in a word... Pffft.

Had to repace it in the end - £112 from RAC Auto Windscreens.

Best to swap it out chuck!

Re: Windscreen - SCRATCHED

I think you can buy polishing kits designed for light aircraft windscreens which take a battering or so I'm told - mostly a set of course to very fine wet & dry and polishing compound and mops IRC.
