Are you saying that it’s very hard to remove wiper scratches from windshields? I never had luck but never gave it 100% effort. Was wondering if I should try now as I’m about to re-apply PBL Glass Coating.

Have seen mentions of Ceri w Rayon pads can do that to some lighter scratches but apparently quite a messy process.
Dunno too much about it but someone somewhere suggested if ya go at it too hard, can affect the optical clarity?
Safelite exists for a reason

Any polish or compound will do.

It's really not that messy. It's no worse than compounding paint. I used Ceriglass on the windows of my son's first car - a 2004 Chevy Malibu - because of all the years of film, wiper scratches, sand etching etc. and had great results. The key to polishing windows it is patience and not expecting instant gratification.

And therein lies the rub for me. First time I picked up a DA in 2015...launched the pad across the garage

Thanks, I won’t spend my time and effort trying to ‘correct’ my windshield then. I’ve got enough impossible tasks to go around.

Re: windshield coating
I used a machine to remove all the coatings and imperfections.
