He said it is difficult to find a replacement windshield with the right curvature so would like to look into the possibility of trying to get them out. Does anyone know of a product or method one could use to buff out micro scratches from glass like that? I've never attempted anything like that before myself.

    Thank you in advance!

    Just order a new piece of glass.Anyone or almost everyone on this forum has not exceeded glass restoration without problems.Then if you screw it up he will be blaming you.Stay away and be honest with him.

My car has "soft" glass, it might work better on harder glass, but I'm done trying to polish glass.
    How do you know you have soft versus hard glass?

    Me too.

    No good results and lots of effort for marginal results.

    Cheaper and quicker to replace on front windsheild (only $200.00).

    Actually looks worse after as ypu see all the RID's.

    Use Lake Country glass pads, CarPro have terrible quality, they start to break apart when you remove them from the backing plate.

    I have a BMW. On BMW forums, pitted windshields are a common problem and many members end up replacing windshields for this reason. They call it "seeing stars" and I had the same problem. So the common perception is that the glass is soft. But I don't know that anyone has done scientific hardness tests. Further complicating matters, my scratch was on a side window, nobody talks about those much, may be entirely different glass. I'm a chemist, pretty good at following directions, my clear coat is beautiful, but my attempt to polish glass using Ceriglass and Lake Country glass polishing pads and a Flex was a fail. I was just sharing with the OP that this is tougher than it looks.
