How to Get a Scratch Out of a Windshield?

Clean the windshield thoroughly with glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth

Inspect the scratch to determine whether it is light or deep

Try a glass polishing compound for light surface scratches

Apply the polishing compound with a soft cloth or felt pad in small circular motions

Wipe away residue and check the scratch after each pass

Repeat only as needed to avoid overpolishing

Use cerium oxide paste for more stubborn light scratches

Keep the area lubricated and polish gently to reduce heat buildup

Stop if the scratch catches a fingernail or appears deep

Avoid using abrasive household cleaners or rough pads

For deep scratches, chips, or cracks, have the windshield repaired or replaced by a professional
