Windscreen polishing with Flex 3401

My wind screen has lots of small stone marks, you can't barely feel them. How do you use the flex to lessen their appearance?

To be honest, i doubt that it's possible to polish them out. Of course you can clean the windscreen with a good glass polish and the flex as a step before using a glass sealant, but don't think you can lessen the appearance of the small stone marks. Imho all that helps against these (especially on a daily driver) is a new windscreen.

Sometimes it's no fun to give an honest answer but you are correct.

To remove a scratch or a stone chip out of the glass would mean abrading the glass and removing enough glass material to level the surface of the glass with the lowest depths of the chips.

It's time intensive and a lot of work just to remove shallow scratches let alone deeper defects like chips.

To the OP: If it's a real issue, may look into having the windshield replaced?
