 Subject: bird poop scratched my windshield

Message:
ok, so i had some bird poop on my 2002 QC's windshield. i wet it down to soften it a bit and then proceeded to try and clean it. it was stubborn, so i scrubbed it a bit with a wet paper towel. now i have some scratches in my windshield.
are our windshields that soft? any way to fix this?
thanks

In answering your ? you have to note that a auto windshield is laminated so it doesn't cut someone when it breaks

I have heard of glass buffing. You may try calling local glass dealers/installers to see about that.

NO ONE go here for tips on that http://www.properautocare.com/classic-motoring/glass---plastic.html
They are kind of pushing the Poter Cable 7424 polisher but it should help you.
BTW that polisher is a good one it's the same one Meguires sells ,if your interested I got mine at
WWW.coastaltool.com for $119.00 I think Meguires charges an extra $130 for there name.

Try some ordinary toothpaste on an old t-shirt. Real mild abrasion; may do it.

Coastal does have good prices on toolz. Dremel might be your best bet for detailing the shield.

There is an old post somewhere on this site regarding removing minor windshield scratches. The guy said that if you use 000 steel wool, it will remove minor scratches.
Before you do this, run a search for this post. I may not be remembering it exactly right.

can't really help you with the scratch....
But, if you ever need to REALLY clean your windscreens I recommend AUTO GLASS STRIPPER from No Touch. See link below. I have been using this stuff for years and LOVE it. It cleans the windscreen to almost new condition and makes your wipers work great. Cleans off all the bugs, tar, road grim, rainX etc. I apply it maybe every other car wash or so.
PS... I don't work for them - just use their product.

Also... windscreens are Laminated on the INSIDE not the outside. I have cut a lot of them and it will muck up a saws-all blade, not to mention the glass dust is NASTY stuff!

Bars Keeper Helper. Cleans your windshield so well that you'll have to look twice to make sure it is still there. Also, it will take out minor imperfections like scratches.
