Default Cleaning solution for windshield micro pits and wiper marks....

Anyone know of anthing to clean the windshield with to get rid of all of those micro pits. Griots has glass polish reg and fine, but it's only for water spots. Mequiars has nothing.
Suggestions ? The windshield is not bad enough to replace by any means, just has all those tiny micro pits and some wiper marks (This is not on my Audi - it's on my daughters 94 Maxima).


thanks Dave K

Default Looks good except that's only a glass cleaner, not what I was looking for...

Looks good though -same price as Griots and also comes with a special cloth.
I'm looking for something that can really clean up the glass - pits and all..

Default Good luck...

I've been praying for stress fractures so I can get mine replaced under warranty Looks like my windshield has been sandblasted. Not really noticable most of the time but driving into the sun it looks like there's a fine layer of dust all over it. I use Eagle One 20/20 to clean (with MF towels) and I've clayed the windshield a few times hoping it would help but no luck

You aren't gonna get rid of those pits unless you buy a new windshield. Fact of life.

They claim the PC buffer attachment is supposed to polish out minor pits.

Default same problem here, sand blasted a good description, I have tried

a glass polish made by blitz. it helped a little... no real cure for this but replacement. audi glass seems softer than others.
