I have some light scratches on the passenger side of my windscreen, looks like some were caused by a wiper blade failing, there's some others a bit higher up which might have been trapped grit. I also noticed when cleaning the screen today it's covered in tiny chips.
I don't really want to fork out for a new screen (plus rubber as it's a 70s car so not bonded, and on the original rubber) and fitting, and don't much fancy doing the insurance job. So I was wondering what it'll take to polish these marks out? I have Brasso and toothpaste, but I don't have the get up and go to bend over the screen with a bit of rag all day long! I've got a cheap electric bodywork polisher, I was wondering if I could use that with some form of polish to do the job, or failing that what should I be looking to buy? Frosts seem to have a kit that comprises of some polishing powder and a pad for an electric drill - Don't fancy mail order as I'd like to get it done asap, so are these sorts of pads (and a decent polish) available off the shelf anywhere?
Not only do I have an MOT to worry about (although the car passed the last one like this, along with failing suspension, seatbelts etc as I discovered after I bought it) but the sate of the screen might explain the horrendous glare from oncoming traffic at night!
