Windscreen scratches

I have some minor scratches on the widscreen. Internet searches recommend a powder and polishing. Can anybody recommend a good powder/ source, and the type of polishing disc I require. Toolstation have 3 on offer, these seem to be colour coded- which one do i need ? Thanks


Jewellers Rouge ...is that not the usual choice to deal with scratches on glass?

HS walsh either in kent or Birmingham sell it , do mail order to

Often while driving in Rains when lot of mud, water and stuff comes on to the windscreen, the driver does not use water - just the wipers - causing minute scratches. I have seen this in a lot of driver-based vehicles. Its wash and wipe - not wipe and wipe!! Also windscreen seems to be cleaned with same cloth as car body - without cleaning away the dust and particles.

Which, with glass being far softer than paintwork, causes no end of problems.

The windscreen scratch repair kit is fantastic. I had exactly the same problem as you and after 20 mins and a little work the scratches were gone. I really would recommend it and for 20 it's worth a go. Like I say mine worked perfectly.
