Glass can be polished like anything else. Clean the glass first, then apply your polishing compound to the glass and buff it with a polishing pad.

Question

How to repair the scratch on the windshield caused by wiper?

Community Answer

You could use toothpaste, fine charcoal powder or a kit. Make sure the area is cleaned well with a micro fiber rag. Take a new clean micro fiber rag and put toothpaste or charcoal or windshield scratch kit solution (from Walmart or a hardware store ) and rub in circles (if using charcoal or toothpaste). For the the kit, use as instructed on th back of package or pamphlet inside of package.
