Re: Sandblasted windshield remedy?
I suggest finding a glass shop or a qualified detailer that can works with your budget that can polish and or fill in the deeper pits within your windshield though compare prices to see if repairing or replacing the windshield is cheaper

Re: Sandblasted windshield remedy?
I personally would just replace it if it's that bad and if you can afford to.

Re: Sandblasted windshield remedy?
Best off waiting for a large rock to put a sizable damage point in the line of sight of the driver and use insurance to replace it. I carry a zero comprehensive policy and on my last car had a simliar situation and it was easier and more cost effective to just get it replaced.

Re: Sandblasted windshield remedy?
Ehh...I have the same problem. Really sick when light reflects off all the little pits and blinds me. I tried a lot of stuff man. Only thing is to replace the whole windshield, glass itself is really too hard to be polished and stuff

Re: Sandblasted windshield remedy?
I got scratches and wiperblade trails out of my windshield glass by using Ceriglass and glass pads, plus boatloads of polishing with my PC for literally hours. It works well for major flaws. But, small pits remain, though they are not as visible as before. I suspect that it really comes down to how deep they are.
Ceriglass and pads are definitely worth a try, as it does improve visibility in the glass, and can remove wiper trails and major scratches. So, for older glass, its a marked improvement. But, its not perfect, and only replacement will bring anything close to perfection.

Never heard of filling in "pits"
Do you have a link to more information?
Beware of those giving suggestions without evidence of their results.
