removing scratches in my windshield, any tips

before , I shell out dough on a new windshield down at Hunts Point. Does anyone have any tips on removing scratches. The damn girl that had the car before me , used the wipers and when I pulled them off there was no rubber , so the metal from the wiper scratched up the window. but I am wondering if there is a way I can buff this out ..
Well post your thoughts, a pic is below

Depends on how deep they are. Most glass polishing agents can only get out very light scratches. For deeper ones, you're kinda stuck. You could probably have them professionally taken out - but the new windshield will probably cost less.....

I can't wait to get new glass in my P5. 45,000 miles, and it is pitted to all hell - driving into the sun is getting damn near impossible.

If you've never had a new windshield put on a car, it is a GREAT feeling! Get in and see that crystal-clear view in front of you - it's like putting on your favorie sweats and new socks after being out in the cold rain for 2 days...

I DO know the feeling! I just got mine put on on Friday and WOW! I even got the little blue tint strip at the top. It cuts down on glare, and now I can actually SEE outside!

Hey Bruce, I'm curious - how much are they charging you for new glass up your way? I've got the same type of wiper-induced scratches too, fortunately no where near as bad as yours .

I had my windshield replaced about a year ago for around $110. It was cracked so I had no other option.

I am not sure, I would have to take it the car to Hunts point to get it done, I figure it would run me like 100 maybe, Well put it like this , whatever price they say I will show them 20 dollars less in cash , and am willing to bet they will do it .. However I am not spening more than 100

i think this thought is in conjunction to the long retarded thread about headlight polishing.. but heres a try, what about motorcycle windshield polish? doesn't that **** work any? i know it's a glass polish, might only get out a little bit, but it's probably your best be next to a new windshield. i'm looking to have to replace mine or spend $60 bucks on something that is going to eventually crack anyway, so i'm in the same boat as far as needing a new one, good luck bruce.
peace
